To equip engineers, road maintenance personnel, and infrastructure managers with the technical knowledge and practical skills necessary to effectively plan, execute, and manage road operations and maintenance activities, ensuring road network sustainability, safety, and cost-efficiency.
The road transport network is a critical component of a country's economic development and social connectivity. The physical condition and operational efficiency of this infrastructure directly affect vehicle operating costs, accident rates, and mobility reliability. This course emphasizes the importance of timely and systematic maintenance, showing how preventive and routine activities can avert the need for costly rehabilitation. Through real-life examples, advanced tools, and hands-on methodologies, participants will explore modern road asset management practices, survey technologies, maintenance strategies, and performance-based planning.
