Abstract

Afghanistan
is encountering a massive compete in arrangement of old infrastructure.
Specially for roads structure, it is found that many roads pavements built 30
to 40 years ago and now it is the end of their life. Other roads had been
deteriorated because of misuse, overuse and mismanagement and also after more
than 3 decades of conflict Afghanistan encountered keen challenges in rehabilitation
and reconstruction of the roads. In addition, present and future threats
influence the wished mission of these pavements for fast, safe and comfort
transportation of people and goods. Moreover, the current management shows that
the system is being used now is not flexible enough to consider on the changing
conditions and is poor to assist in making decisions.

This
study aims to initiate a Pavement Management System by providing an organized
procedure of maintaining, reconstructing, and operating the roads pavements and
to utilize in a better flexible strategy that can enable this research to
perform better tasks, more economically, higher quality and do it such a manner
to achieve a desired result.

A
system has been also presented to help and make easier the decision making
process. It is Micro PAVER pavement software. Micro PAVER is a Pavement
Management System developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers.  Micro PAVER provides pavement management
capabilities to:

·        
Organize
and develop the pavement list.

·        
Analyze
the running condition of pavements.

·        
Develop
methods to forecast future conditions report on past and future pavement
execution; and

·        
 Develop plots for pavement maintenance based
on condition needs or budget.















Therefore,
in order to have a good management system, this system will be preferred which
provide an organized method of maintenance, reconstruction and operation of the
roads pavements. And the system will be flexible enough and assists in making
decisions.

Afganistan’da Yol Kaplaması Yönetim Sistemi Araştırması

Year 2019, Volume: 40 Issue: 1, 221 - 232, 22.03.2019

Abstract

Afganistan, eski altyapı
düzenlemesinde önemli bir sorunla karşı karşıyadır. Özellikle yolların yüzeyi sözkonusu
olduğunda, birçok yol kaplamasının 30-40 yıl önce yapıldığı ve şimdi ömrünü
tamamladığı görülmektedir. Bazı yollar da kötü kullanım, aşırı kullanım ve
yanlış yönetim nedeniyle ve ayrıca 30 yıllık savaştan sonra Afganistan’ın
yolların iyileştirilmesi ve yenilenmesi bakımından ciddi zorluklarla
karşılaşılması nedeniyle kötüleşmiştir. Bunun yanısıra, mevcut ve gelecekteki
tehditler de insanların ve ürünlerin hızlı, güvenli ve rahat ulaşımını sağlamak
için arzu edilen bu yol kaplamaları işini etkilemektedir. Bunun yanısıra,
mevcut yönetim şu anda kullanılmakta olan sistemin değişen koşullarını hesaba
katmaya yetecek kadar esnek değil ve kararlar verilmesine yardımcı olmakta
zayıf kalıyor.

 Araştırma, yol kaplamalarının bakımına,
yeniden yapımına ve işletilmesine ilişkin bir organize prosedürün sağlanmasına
yönelik bir Yol Kaplama Yönetim Sistemi başlatmak ve daha iyi görevleri daha
ekonomik şekilde ve daha yüksek kaliteyle gerçekleştirmemizi ve bunları arzu
edilen sonuca ulaşacak şekilde yapabilmemizi sağlayacak daha esnek bir
stratejiyle kullanmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Ayrıca, karar verme sürecine
yardımcı olacak ve bunu kolaylaştıracak bir sistem de sunuldu: Micro PAVER yol
kaplama yazılımı. Micro PAVER, ABD Mühendisler Kolordusu tarafından
geliştirilen bir Yol Kaplama Yönetim Sistemidir. Micro PAVER:

·        
Yol kaplama listesini organize
etmeye ve geliştirmeye;

·        
Yol kaplamalarının çalışma koşulunu
analiz etmeye;

·        
Geçmişteki ve gelecekteki yol
kaplama icraatına yönelik gelecekteki koşulları tahmin etmeye yönelik yöntemler
geliştirmeye ve

·        
Koşullara, ihtiyaçlara veya bütçeye
dayalı olarak yol kaplama bakımına planlar geliştirmeye yönelik yol kaplama
yönetimi becerileri sağlıyor.















Bu nedenle, iyi bir yönetim
sistemine sahip olmak için yol kaplamalarının bakımına, yeniden yapımına ve
işletilmesine ilişkin bir organize yöntem sağlayan bu sistem tercih
edilecektir. Bu sistem, yeterince esnek olacak ve kararlar alınmasına yardımcı
olacaktır.
