| Abstract | This study involved developing a pavement maintenance management system for the recently constructed border roads in the Kingdom. The aim of the system was to manage maintenance activities within available resources and increase maintenance effectiveness through systematic methods and procedures in data acquiring, recording and evaluation. The developed system consisted of basic elements including identification and coding of road sections, inventory and pavement data collection, pavement evaluation methodology, identification of maintenance activities, determination of maintenance needs, setting maintenance priorities and identification of future maintenance programs. The developed system integrated with referenced coordinate system and digital maps using geographic information system software. The system was implemented on a sample distance of 745 km of the northern boarder road and the results were encouraging.
