……Today is an introduction to ARGUS

Developing the Project Set

5

Make cost effective decisionsFor given 5 year budget levels:

Where repairs are needed

What repair strategies to use

When the repairs should be done

Started in 1986System condition has improved from a

rating of 68 to 78 (on 100 scale)

Area of backlog and failing pavement has

been reduced from 55% to 15%
