In the early 1980s the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) developed and implemented a pavement management system (PMS). Over the years, the PMS has evolved into a very useful documentation of the state highway system and an essential analysis tool for pavement design. The various elements of the Washington State Pavement Management System (WSPMS) will be discussed, as will the ways in which the WSPMS is used for the rehabilitation budgeting. Early in the development of the WSPMS, the system had a strong capability to identify the specific projects that required rehabilitation and when the rehabilitation was required. The weakness in the WSPMS was determining the required level of rehabilitation (overlay thickness). The process (referred to as scoping) currently used to estimate the overlay thickness using only the data in the WSPMS will also be discussed.

Maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) scheduling for airport pavement is supported by the scientific literature, while a specific tool for heliport pavements lacks. A heliport pavement management system (HPMS) allows the infrastructure manager to obtain benefits in technical and economic terms, as well as safety and efficiency, during the analyzed period. Structure and rationale of the APSM could be replicated and simplified to implement a HPMS because movements of rotary-wing aircrafts have less complexity than fixed-wing ones and have lower mechanical effects on the pavement. In this study, an innovative pavement condition index-based HPMS has been proposed and implemented to rigid and flexible surfaces of the airport of Vergiate (province of Varese, Italy), and two twenty-year M&R plans have been developed, where the results from reactive and proactive approaches have been compared to identify the best strategy in terms of costs and pavement level of service. The result obtained shows that although the loads and traffic of rotary-wing aircrafts are limited, the adoption of PMS is also necessary in the heliport environment.
