Abstract

The maintenance of transportation assets has become a worst challenge for most of transportation agencies over the world. In Iraq, there is wide area of roads network has suffered neglect during the eighth and ninth decades of the last century due to wars over the country. Therefore, this paper provides a modern approach to manage road maintenance operations as it is applied on Tikrit-Tooz Road in the middle of Iraq. This study relies on ASTM D6433-03, 2004, Standard Practice forRoads and Parking Lots PavementCondition IndexSurveys that applied into ArcGIS 10. At the time of the study, most of road segments up of Good level so the managers will be comfortable to arrange them maintenance without differed maintenance. Road segments will be updatable each year according to CI values as there is an allocated color for each level of condition.
