- Abstract
Road networks are nearly exclusively managed by public bodies and hence there is a need for comparable measures to determine whether the networks are being maintained sufficiently and efficiently. Generally, both types of measures are missing. The primary cause of that absence is likely to be found in the difficulty of achieving comparability across networks. In this article theoretical and practical methods for achieving comparability are derived and tested on the data from a group of Swiss cantons. The presented measures focus primarily on renewal maintenance. In addition to measures concerning sufficiency and efficiency, a set of further measures is introduced, as this is done in a Balanced Scorecard approach, to combat potential skewed incentives that will likely result from putting too much management attention on single quantitative measures. Collectively, the presented measures should enable a reasonable benchmarking of renewal management activity for road networks.
