This course helps participants diagnose pavement condition using modern evaluation tools and translate diagnostic results into effective maintenance programmes. It integrates engineering, economic, and operational considerations to support better treatment selection, optimise asset interventions, and extend pavement life.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to :

Conduct structural and functional pavement evaluation 

Select treatments using life-cycle optimisation principles

Apply predictive approaches to identify pavement maintenance needs

Use diagnostic tools such as FWD, GPR, deflection testing, and visual condition indices

Target Audience

Pavement engineers and inspectors
Maintenance planners
Road asset management professionals
Consultants involved in pavement diagnostics and treatment selection

Course Structure

Class 1 : TBD

Assess whether ITS deployment is delivering value.
Key topics:
• Defining performance outcomes: reliability, safety, efficiency, emissions
• Why ITS deployments underperform: common failure modes in practice
• Aligning technology with operational decision-making
• From systems deployment to services
• Linking data, tools, and real-time operational actions
• Case study: what actually changed after an ITS deployment

Class 2 : TBD

Applying ITS tools and data to consistently deliver measurable improvements in traffic operations.
Key Topics
• Signal optimisation and traffic flow management
• Incident detection and coordinated response
• Speed management and enforcement support systems
• Managing high-risk and temporary environments (work zones, events, disruptions)
• Influencing user behaviour through information and control strategies
• Coordinating operations across agencies and systems
• Case study: reducing crash risk and improving reliability through targeted ITS interventions

Class 3 : TBD

How agencies identify, prioritise, and use the right data to support traffic decisions.
Key Topics:
• Identifying relevant data sources for ITS operations
• From data collection to operational use
• Data integration challenges in practice
• Building a usable operational data environment (including GIS-based platforms)
• Real-time and predictive data use
• Data governance considerations
• Case study: integrating multiple data sources to manage a road network

Class 4 : TBD

Using ITS to deliver broader network outcomes
Key topics:
• From project to operations: embedding ITS into daily practice
• Integrating ITS into multimodal network management
• The role of connected systems (V2X) in future deployment strategies
• Procurement and delivery models that support long-term performance
• Case study: scaling ITS from pilot to network-wide impact
