Description
Summary:Discusses the development of a family of desktop computer pavement management systems, known as BSM (Burrow and Snaith management system), from their first use in Botswana and Thailand in the early 1980s to the widespread current use of derivative systems in countries as diverse as Sierra Leone and China. The successful introduction and support of management systems requires the development of a technical expertise and, in more complex situations, a research capacity. (Original abstract - amended)
