Abstract-
A study has been carried out on Maharishi Markandeshwar University Institutional road network to provide a powerful system for the analysis of pavement management. The Highway Development and Management-4 (HDM-4) software has been used for Project analysis of the Institutional road network. The HDM-4 tool provides the deterministic approach in data input and processing also utilizes data on existing road condition, traffic volume and composition to predict road deterioration. A network economic evaluation is the most challenging use of the model, but the effort is well justified due to the potential savings on transportation costs achieved by comparing various alternatives and performing a budget constraint optimization. This paper presents guidelines of HDM-4 analysis, reviews the applied methodology, input requirements and also shows future directions in order to choose the best alternative through Internal Rate of Return values being generated through HDM-4 software.
