The integration of the Dynatest Pavement Management System (PMS) with GEOSECMA has allowed Dynatest and KORDAB to offer a highly sophisticated Highway and Infra-structure Management System.

• Rationalisation of resources over the entire network.
• Equity in levels of service.
• Accepted internationally as a management tool.
• Provides scenarios to reduce the costs to the public.
• Financial planning for rehabilitation and new construction.
• Quantify the impact of traffic.

• Recommended maintenance and rehabilitation treatment types on each pavement section.
• One to ten year work programme.
• Budgets to maintain the network at various levels of serviceability.
• Consequences of insufficient funding levels.
• Predictions of how fast the pavements will deteriorate.
• Predictions of the costs incurred by users.

Society is placing more emphasis on the optimal utilisation and allocation of scarce resources.

For the pavement sector, with increasing emphasis on preservation and less on new construction, it is vital to have a tool that objectively maximises the return on maintenance investments.

Dynatest's PMS is an internationally tested and proven system based on the Dynatest analytical/ empirical pavement analysis methodology.

Dynatest PMS has been in operation since 1981, being used on the road systems of municipalities, towns, counties, motorway and State authorities in Europe, the United States and Africa.

Condition data consists of structural data gathered with the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD)
and functional data in terms of roughness and distress information collected with the Road Surface Profile (RSP).
Skid data collected with the Dynatest 6850H or Dynatest 1295.

.

Because Dynatest is also the manufacturer of the data collection equipment, the system has been designed to ensure efficient data flow and usage.

.

The Dynatest PMS is completely flexible.

After installation, the end user can choose to perform all PMS functions internally, or involve Dynatest at any desirable level, from simple data collection to complete entry and analysis, providing reports on a regular basis.

The Core Function links all applications within GEOSECMA to a centralised SQL database, sophisticated GIS, CAD and a web application.

This highly functional and integrated system allows many disciplines within an organisation to be brought into one system, ensuring efficient use of data and resources, the removal of data duplication and the potential errors this may bring, and at the same time reducing education and license costs usually associated with an organisation's variety of third party software.

For those organisations with established third party GIS, CAD and database systems, GEOSECMA has the ability to seamlessly link to many of the popular software packages.
