It encompasses various processes and sub-system components.

Components: Routine Maintenance System (RMS), Periodic Maintenance Online Reporting (PMOR), Routine Inspection System (RIS), Road Inventory Management System (RIMS) and Geographical Information System (GIS):

Routine Maintenance System (RMS)
A web-based system which monitors the progress of routine road maintenance works.

Periodic Maintenance Online Reporting (PMOR)
A web-based system for monitoring of maintenance works which have specific maintenance schedule.

Routine Inspection System (RIS)
A maintenance module which allows users to determine resource requirements for maintenance activities, deterioration rates, condition levels and appropriate treatment for road defects.

Road Inventory Management System (RIMS)
