Abstract

The Company TNM - Technology and Management has developed a system of road and public space management directed to the administration of the urban road network, of areas destined to pedestrian public space, as well as pedestrian and traffic bridges of the city of Bogota Colombia, which at the same time includes the pavements deterioration models by means of periodic measurement of variables that influence in that deterioration. The design of this system is oriented to provide a systematic tool that permit to the Local Administration to determine the scope of the actions of maintenance and rehabilitation on the road infrastructure and urban public space at any time, to prioritize projects and to optimize the available resources, looking to maintaining a level of service given in terms of its structural and functional condition. The main intake to carry out the management on the infrastructure of road network consists of the data of inventory and diagnosis relieved by diverse consultants, during the last 5 years, obtained using last generation technologies such as the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and the international roughness index (IRI) This information a property organized and stored in a database. Similarly, the inventory and diagnosis contains the associated infrastructure of public space, such as, decks, bus stops, pedestrian crossings, bike paths and general urban funiture. Regarding the bridge information, there is no inventory of them yet, but they have defined the variables to collect to carry out an adequate management for this infrastructure.
