Application Of Gis/Gps In Shanghai Airport Pavement Management System

Shanghai airport pavement management system (SHAPMS) has been developed and updated for the Hongqiao and Pudong international airports that utilize the power of GIS and GPS for data collection, data storage, geospatial analysis of pavement evaluation and optimization of maintenance planning. This paper discusses the function design and the application effort of using GIS and GPS in the system. The practice shows that the pavement inspection time is reduced greatly, the geospatial tools are available for maintenance and rehabilitation, and the reliable data can be provided to solve future problems and optimize pavement maintenance decisions.
