In the late 1990's, VicRoads re-established its long term Strategic Pavement Monitoring Program with the principal objective of reporting general trends in pavement condition using roughness, rutting, pavement deflection and visual condition as the principle indicators of pavement performance. This information can then be used to develop pavement performance prediction models suitable for inclusion in HDM4, recently implemented by VicRoads. In addition, it is anticipated that the monitoring data will also enable Austroads pavement design and overlay design procedures to be further refined. The pavement monitoring program also now incorporates assessment of the performance of pavement rehabilitation and surfacing treatments in various locations throughout Victoria. This new focus is a significant expansion from past pavement monitoring programs which concentrated largely on newly constructed pavements.
