RONET overview, main concepts and background
• Optimization defined • A common concern: how to optimize
maintenance and rehabilitation • What is required for an agency to use

• Availability: RONET is available free of charge on the World Bank website at: http://go.worldbank.org/HWVR0FWEF0
http://go.worldbank.org/FF0CT8M770 • General use: RONET can be used in
any city, country or region, provided that appropriate data are available

What is Required for an Agency to Take Advantage of Tools Such as HDM-4 and RONET?
• Updated road inventory and condition data, e.g., length of roads in each category, pavement structure, road roughness
• Traffic data, e.g., volumes by vehicle category, weight of heavy vehicles
• Road user cost data, e.g., price of new vehicles, fuel consumption and cost
• Unit cost of road works, e.g., rehabilitation ($/km), new construction ($/km)
Total 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 = 625 Road Classes

Road Network Length Matrix
• Main road condition indicator used by models such as RONET and HDM
• A standard scale used throughout the world to quantify the roughness of roads
• The IRI summarizes the roughness qualities that impact vehicle response (such as vehicle vibration)
• It relates to overall vehicle ride, operating cost, dynamic wheel loads, and overall surface condition
International Roughness Index (IRI)
• The International Road Roughness Experiment, Brasilia, Brazil, 1982
• Reference: World Bank Technical Paper No. 45, “The International Road Roughness Experiment: Establishing Correlation and a Calibration Standard for Measurements,” available at: http://go.worldbank.org/0UUNR93490
Development of IRI
International Roughness Index
• IRI is determined by measuring the profile along the wheel paths of the road, and then filtering the profiles through a quarter-car mathematical model to simulate the suspension deflection of a passenger car
• Its uses include assessing road condition and as a construction specification
IRI Meaning and Uses
• “ProVAL” - Profile Viewing and AnaLysis - an engineering software used to view and analyze pavement profiles, including IRI calculations
• Sponsored by the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
• Available free of charge from: http://www.roadprofile.com/
IRI Calculation from Road Profiles
14
• “RoadRuf” – a tool for computing IRI, available from the University of Michigan at: http://www.umtri.umich.edu/divisionPage.php?pageID=62
• RoadRuf includes an interactive X-Y plotter and a spectrum analyzer
• A sample program for calculating IRI is available at: http://www.umtri.umich.edu/content/IRIMain.f
IRI Calculation from Road Profiles
RONET uses simplified incremental road deterioration model for paved roads: • traffic loading (YE4) • pavement modified structural number and
subgrade bearing capacity (SNC) • pavement age (t) • environmental coefficient (m) • existing condition (IRIa)

RONET Paved Road Deterioration Model
• Expressed as a polynomial function of roughness for each vehicle category
• Developed using World Bank RUCKS (Road User Costs Knowledge System) model
URUC - unit road users’ cost ($/vehicle-km) IRI - pavement longitudinal roughness (m/km) a0, a1, a2, a3 - model coefficients that depend on input
data (e.g., new vehicle, fuel and tire costs)

• Very good: IRI less than 2.5 m/km • Good: IRI from 2.5 m/km to 3.5 m/km • Fair: IRI from 3.5 m/km to 5.5 m/km • Poor: IRI from 5.5 m/km to 10.5 m/km • Very poor: IRI higher than 10.5 m/km

- Standard given for illustration purposes. Proper standards are country specific.- AADT of motorized 4-tires or more 2-way traffic
Traffic categories vary by surface type
27
• Very Good: requires only routine maintenance (RM)
• Good: requires RM plus preventive maintenance or spot regravelling or repairs
• Fair: requires RM plus periodic maintenance • Poor: requires RM plus strengthening or partial
reconstruction • Very Poor: requires RM plus full reconstruction
Road Condition Categories
28
• Length of road sections (per category, traffic, condition) comprising the network
• Unit cost of road works • Selected country data (e.g., discount
rate, fuel cost, salaries, vehicle fleet, traffic growth rate)
