Abstract:

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 has challenged metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), such as the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) in Utah, with no traditional involvement in pavement management to cooperate with states and local agencies in developing regional pavement management systems (PMSs). The development is particularly difficult when some of the local agencies already have well-established PMSs that are sufficient for their needs. Eight PMSs were being used in the Salt Lake City-Ogden area by those communities having a formal PMS; local pavement management specialists expressed concern about having their PMSs altered to serve a new, regional PMS. Fourteen localities had no PMS. The disparity between local pavement management activities indicated that the responsibility for pavement data collection and condition and performance analyses should be allocated to the state. Doing this would eliminate the potential inconsistencies associated with having the localities report pavement condition. The plan also relieved the WFRC from the burden of operating a PMS. This approach may be applicable in similar urban regions in which there is extreme variation in the degree of local pavement management. The state department of transportation must be willing to expand its PMS to include not only state highways and the National Highway System, but all Federal-aid highways. The MPO can then focus its efforts on prioritizing pavement improvement projects and selecting candidates for federal funding. Other roles of the MPO would include promotion of, education and training for, and dissemination of information to local agencies and the public on pavement management.

Abstract:

The ability to systematically collect and record as-built data for pavement layers benefits highway departments in many aspects. A well-established database of as-built pavements provides a tool for maintaining an up-to-date corporate record of the physical pavement structures, keeping track of unit construction costs, and reducing the amount of pavement excavations during pavement investigations. A reliable as-built database also provides inputs for falling weight deflectometer analysis and calibrating pavement performance models in pavement management systems (PMSs). A task within the development of the second-generation PMS for the New Jersey Department of Transportation is to review and analyze the existing pavement as-built database for completeness and quality. A computer program was developed to scan and categorize the as-built data into five status levels: complete, partially complete—missing original construction data, partially complete—missing recent rehabilitation data, questionable data, and no data. The results of this analysis can be used to recommend improvement for the data-collection process and to guide further investigations, such as coring and ground penetration radar tests. The general approach used in the analysis is described, data status levels are defined, results for distribution of the pavement as-built data are provided, and the significance of the analysis for PMSs is discussed. Recommendations for improving completeness and quality of the pavement construction history database also are provided.

Abstract:

The preservation of existing roads and streets has become a major activity for all levels of government. Deteriorating urban roads and reduced funding are major problems for local governments. Funds designated for pavements therefore must be used as effectively as possible. For the most efficient management of urban roadway networks, regulations calling for the involvement of metropolitan planning organizations in the development and implementation of pavement management systems (PMSs) were established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. Considerable effort is now under way at state and local government levels for developing and implementing PMSs. The Urban Roadway Management System (URMS) was developed at the University of Texas at Austin. URMS provides small to medium-sized cities with a simple, flexible, and user-friendly PMS. Implementation of such a system can save money for both the agency and the user and improve not only the efficiency, but also the effectiveness of decision making involved in managing pavements. A research study was conducted at the University of Texas to demonstrate the use of URMS through its implementation in small to medium-sized cities. The implementation was carried out at two levels. At the first level, the city of Lampasas, Texas, was directly assisted in the implementation. At the second level, the city of Terrell, Texas, was assisted over the telephone. The strategy and process of URMS implementation are documented.

Abstract:

Pavement markings are essential elements of transportation infrastructure with critical impacts on safety and mobility. They provide road users with the necessary information to adjust driving behavior or make calculated decisions about commuting. The visibility of pavement markings for drivers can be the boundary between a safe trip and a disastrous accident. Consequently, transportation agencies at the local or national levels allocate sizeable budgets to upkeep the pavement markings under their jurisdiction. Infrastructure asset management systems (IAMS) are often biased toward high-capital-cost assets such as pavements and bridges, not providing structured asset management (AM) plans for low-cost assets such as pavement markings. However, recent advances in transportation asset management (TAM) have promoted an integrated approach involving the pavement marking management system (PMMS). A PMMS brings all data items and processes under a comprehensive AM plan and enables managing pavement markings more efficiently. Pavement marking operations depend on location, conditions, and AM policies, highly diversifying the pavement marking management practices among agencies and making it difficult to create a holistic image of the system. Most of the available resources for pavement marking management focus on practices instead of strategies. Therefore, there is a lack of comprehensive guidelines and model frameworks for developing PMMS. This study utilizes the existing body of knowledge to build a guideline for developing and implementing PMMS. First, by adapting the core AM concepts to pavement marking management, a model framework for PMMS is created, and the building blocks and elements of the framework are introduced. Then, the caveats and practical points in PMMS implementation are discussed based on the US transportation agencies’ experiences and the relevant literature. This guideline is aspired to facilitate PMMS development for the agencies and pave the way for future pavement marking management tools and databases.

Abstract:

Road transportation has always been inherent in developing societies, impacting between 10–20% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is responsible for personal mobility (access to services, goods, and leisure), and that is why world economies rely upon the efficient and safe functioning of transportation facilities. Road maintenance is vital since the need for maintenance increases as road infrastructure ages and is based on sustainability, meaning that spending money now saves much more in the future. Furthermore, road maintenance plays a significant role in road safety. However, pavement management is a challenging task because available budgets are limited. Road agencies need to set programming plans for the short term and the long term to select and schedule maintenance and rehabilitation operations. Pavement performance prediction models (PPPMs) are a crucial element in pavement management systems (PMSs), providing the prediction of distresses and, therefore, allowing active and efficient management. This work aims to review the modeling techniques that are commonly used in the development of these models. The pavement deterioration process is stochastic by nature. It requires complex deterministic or probabilistic modeling techniques, which will be presented here, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Finally, conclusions will be drawn, and some guidelines to support the development of PPPMs will be proposed.

Abstract:

Road pavement conditions have significant impacts on safety, travel times, costs, and environmental effects. It is the responsibility of road agencies to ensure these conditions are kept in an acceptable state. To this end, agencies are tasked with implementing pavement management systems (PMSs) which effectively allocate resources towards maintenance and rehabilitation. These systems, however, require accurate data. Currently, most agencies rely on manual distress surveys and as a result, there is significant research into quick and low-cost pavement distress identification methods. Recent proposals have included the use of structure-from-motion techniques based on datasets from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and cameras, producing accurate 3D models and associated point clouds. The challenge with these datasets is then identifying and describing distresses. This paper focuses on utilizing images of pavement distresses in the city of Palermo, Italy produced by mobile phone cameras. The work aims at assessing the accuracy of using mobile phones for these surveys and also identifying strategies to segment generated 3D imagery by considering the use of algorithms for 3D Image segmentation to detect shapes from point clouds to enable measurement of physical parameters and severity assessment. Case studies are considered for pavement distresses defined by the measurement of the area affected such as different types of cracking and depressions. The use of mobile phones and the identification of these patterns on the 3D models provide further steps towards low-cost data acquisition and analysis for a PMS.

Abstract:

This article presents a case study examining the problems and possibilities of performance management in a wind-farm company. Drawing on Ferreira and Otley’s recently developed performance management systems (PMSs) framework, the study demonstrates how the framework facilitates in-depth, holistic, and critical evaluations of existing PMSs, and how these evaluations can drive the development of revised PMSs that balance economic, social, and environmental goals. This integrated focus on PMS evaluation and design is unique as earlier work seeking to develop systems to promote and measure sustainable performance tends to establish them in isolation from informed evaluations of existing systems. Drawing on the case analysis, the article proposes a form of “sustainable balanced scorecard” to enable a company to streamline its management decision making. It also offers guidance for companies on the development of PMSs that can contribute to their survival and growth in a wind energy sector characterized by increasing competition.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the perceived drivers behind the implementation of performance measurement systems (PMSs) in Indonesian local government (ILG). It analytically assesses Indonesia’s attempt to introduce PMSs by addressing three research questions: Do organisations in developing countries actually use PMSs to aid decision-making and help plan for future performance improvement? (RQ1) Do the three isomorphic pressures exist in the development and use of PMSs? (RQ2) and If institutional isomorphism is evident, can accountability exist within the development and use of PMSs given these pressures? (RQ3). Design/methodology/approach – This research explores the perceived drivers behind the implementation of performance measurement systems (PMSs) in Indonesian local government (ILG). It analytically assesses Indonesia’s attempt to introduce a PMS by addressing three research questions: RQ1 Do organisations in developing countries actually use PMSs to aid decision-making and help plan for future performance improvement? RQ2 Do the three isomorphic pressures exist in the development and use of PMSs? and RQ3 If institutional isomorphism is evident, can accountability exist within the development and use of PMSs given these pressures. Findings – Results determined that although employees perceived coercive isomorphism as being a driver of ILG compliance with President B.J. Habibie’s presidential instruction (Inpres No. 7/1999), the Laporan Akuntabilitas Kinerja Institusi Pemerintah/Performance Accountability Report of State Apparatus (known as LAKIP), many councils were still not reporting and those who were, were not doing it well. Many councils lacked management motivation, with some choosing to merely mimic (mimetic isomorphism) what others were doing. Better-resourced councils made use of external consultants or local universities where knowledge was shared (normative isomorphism). Practical implications – An understanding of factors influencing the development and use of performance measures, in turn, can be used not only to improve PMSs in the future but to improve the quantity and quality of LAKIP reporting. Originality/value – The theoretical development and interpretation of this research is drawn from institutional theory with a major contribution being that it provides an in-depth conceptual overview and understanding of factors influencing the development and use of performance measures. Further, it fills a gap in the literature exploring PMSs and accountability in a developing country – in this case, Indonesia.

Abstract:

Performance measurement systems (PMSs) are used to diagnose and remediate problems, termed the “decision-facilitating” or feedback role of management control. We examine whether use of PMSs by individual decision makers is associated with better performance. Experimental studies have isolated individual-level effects of feedback on decision quality; however, it is difficult to extend these findings to natural settings. Archival and survey studies offer evidence on the association between the presence of PMSs and performance but have had limited success in measuring decision makers’ actual use of PMSs and addressing endogeneity of the decision to use PMSs. We use unobtrusively collected data on actual PMS use in 30 K–12 charter schools over three years to test whether teachers who make greater use of two PMSs are associated with greater growth in student learning. We find that teachers’ use of PMSs is associated with increased student learning, consistent with the premise that PMSs facilitate teacher interventions and improve student outcomes. The results are both statistically and materially significant, and they are better explained by PMS use than by selection effects of better teachers using PMSs. Consistent with the organization’s focus on “at-risk” students, the strongest effects of teachers’ use of one PMS are concentrated among the lowest-performing students. In sum, we find broad support for the thesis that the feedback role of PMSs is associated with meaningful performance improvement. This paper was accepted by Suraj Srinivasan, accounting.

Abstract:

Emerging research in the field of Management Control calls for abandoning out-dated performance measurement systems (PMSs) to emphasize the value chain of companies' value creation. Business model (BM) concepts can help to highlight this causal chain and convince companies to reframe their PMSs. However, little is known about how BM information is entered and used in companies' accounting information systems (AISs). In this study, we investigate whether companies im-prove their AISs by institutionalizing BM information, and we look at ways in which they can combine this information into their PMSs. We statistically test the coercive, mimetic, and normative forces influencing the institutionalization of BM information and the changes in AISs using the content analysis of the corporate reports and websites of 86 listed firms. Our results show that firms adjusted their AISs to communicate BM information, resulting in AISs conducive to the re-placement of traditional PMSs with new BM-based frameworks. Despite this change, we offer some reflections on whether and how these changes may happen in practice, and on ways in which combining BM information can give rise to new cognitive and accounting frameworks to reshape PMSs. This study enriches the theoretical research on the determinants shaping the institutionalization of new corporate information. It highlights the cognitive effects resulting from designing PMSs by advocating the need to consider cognitive and psychological aspects when capturing and portraying value creation in synoptic tools.

Abstract:

Purpose Performance measurement systems (PMSs) are at the heart of most organisations. The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of top-level managers towards the incompleteness of PMSs. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on an in-depth field study conducted in an energy and environmental services provider based in New Zealand. The data, which were obtained from 20 semi-structured interviews, were triangulated against on-site observations and company documents. Findings The findings suggest that whether the incompleteness of a PMS is considered problematic or non-problematic depends on the role that the PMS plays in implementing a firm’s strategy. The authors show that when the PMS is mainly used to trigger improvement activities on and around strategic objectives and managers perceive adequate improvement activities to exist, then they consider the incompleteness of the PMS in relation to these strategic objectives to be non-problematic. Originality/value This study contributes to the nascent literature on managerial attitudes towards the incompleteness of PMSs by identifying conditions under which the incompleteness is considered problematic or non-problematic. The authors also contribute to the literature on the association between design qualities of PMSs and firm performance by suggesting that poor design qualities of a PMS (such as incompleteness) may not always translate into poor firm performance.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this research is to examine the factors that influence the design of performance measurement systems (PMSs) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and public administration and explore inter-relationships among these factors. Design/methodology/approach Findings resulted through the identification of design factors from the paper portfolio of a previous systematic literature review on this topic and the construction of a factor co-occurrence network for the identified factors. Findings The methodology helped to determine the relationships among factors and show how these factors influence PMSs in NPOs and public administration. It also helped to demonstrate how PMSs in these organizations are different from PMSs in traditional companies because of the impact of the factors on the complexity and dynamics of NPOs and public administration. The findings and discussion contribute to the performance measurement literature on NPOs and public administration by presenting a set of design factors related to purpose, stakeholders and management. Practical implications This paper presents practical implications for managers regarding the PMS design process and shows how some design factors can be particularly related to these organizations Originality/value The design factors are particular to the organizational dynamic and should be considered by managers involved with the design (or redesign) process of performance measurement systems.

Abstract:

<p>This study undertook research on government organisations in the UAE with a view toward identifying the most important Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that support the successful implementation of performance management systems (PMSs). However, the study was not limited to the identification of such CSFs, but also sought to examine their relevance and criticality. The remit of the research focus was narrowed to an attempt to understand the causes of PMS failure and to avoid possible obstacles to PMS implementation. Qualitative research took the form of case studies involving interviews, observations and document reviews. This study makes several contributions to the literature on CSFs that influence successful PMS implementation in the government sector, principally in the UAE and other developing countries. Further, it presents a theoretical model of CSFs for the successful implementation of PMS. The findings and recommendations presented in this paper could serve as guidelines for practitioners in the field of PMSs and for government and public organisations to fully benefit from the implementation of PMSs.</p>

Abstract:

Performance measurement systems (PMSs) are a global phenomenon emanating from new public management (NPM) reforms. While they are now prolific and entrenched, they have attracted criticism based on their design and the manner in which they are applied. The purpose of this article is to explore the history of accounting for research in the Australian higher education sector (HES). It focuses on how successive Australian governments have steered research within the sector through the introduction of PMSs, in line with NPM reforms. Relying on publicly available online policy documents and scholarly literature, the study traces the development of performance measures within the Australian HES from the mid-1980s to 2015. It contributes to literature in management accounting aspects of NPM through the means of management accounting techniques such as PMSs. It also contributes to accounting history literature through an examination of three decades of accounting for research in the Australian HES.

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore the relationships between knowledge management (KM), performance measurement systems (PMSs), and small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) economic sustainability in knowledge-intensive sectors. The literature demonstrates that SMEs are often characterized by unstructured KM approaches and limited PMS implementation, being at the same time affected by scarce profitability and financial issues. Adopting the knowledge-based view of the firm and the contingency theory of PMSs, we tested the impact of two alternative KM approaches (exploitation and exploration) on SMEs’ economic sustainability, measuring the moderating effect of PMS use (diagnostic and interactive). Through an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression of data collected for 219 Italian medium firms operating in knowledge-intensive sectors, this study provides evidence on how a specific KM approach supports the SME economic sustainability and how a consistent implementation and use of PMS amplify the relationship between KM and economic sustainability. Data analysis confirms the relevance of some key concepts of the knowledge-based view of the firm, especially the positive impact of the KM exploration approach on economic sustainability. Additionally, the paper extends empirical evidence for the PMS moderating effect on the KM–performance relationship. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a study provides evidence for the relationships among KM, PMSs, and economic sustainability in the SME setting. Moreover, our findings lead to some managerial implications, especially they encourage SME entrepreneurs and managers to design a coherent KM approach and to implement an adequate PMS in order to support economic sustainability.

Abstract:

With the trend of low emissions and sustainable development, the demand for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) has increased rapidly. By combining a conventional internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors powered by a battery, HEVs have the advantages over traditional vehicles in better fuel economy and lower tailpipe emissions. Nevertheless, the power management strategies (PMSs) for conventional vehicles which mainly focus on the efficiency of internal combustion engine are no longer applicable due to the complex internal structure of HEVs. Hence, a large number of novel strategies appropriate for HEVs have been surveyed, but most of the researches concentrate on discussing the classifications of PMSs and comparing their cons and pros. This paper presents a comprehensive review of power management strategies adopted in HEVs aiming at specific challenges for the first time. The categories of the existing PMSs are presented based on the different algorithms, followed by a brief study of each type including the analysis of its pros and cons. Afterwards, the implementation and optimization of power management strategies aiming at proposed challenges are introduced in detail with the description of their optimization objectives and optimized results. Finally, future directions and open issues of PMSs in HEVs are discussed.

Abstract:

In the past few years, the application and research community has expressed a lot of interest in managing energy and power while using distributed generation systems. Electricity generation and its usage coordination are vital aspects of energy efficiency that can help in saving energy, decreasing energy costs, and fulfilling global emission objectives. Owing to the relevance of the topic, here, the researchers have presented a comparative and critical review of recent developments in the fields of energy management systems (EMSs) and power management systems (PMSs). Furthermore, the researchers also reviewed the various EMS and PMS methods that could be used for reviewing microgrid (MG) and nanogrid (NG) systems. The EMS for MG and NG systems helps in addressing important economic objectives like minimisation of operational costs after optimising the fuel costs, emission costs, and battery degradation costs, while also improving the life of the MG devices. Alternatively, the PMS helps in addressing technical objectives like improving the stability, flexibility, reliability, and quality of MG and NG systems. The researchers have also discussed the drawbacks and challenges affecting the widespread application of EMSs and PMSs.

Abstract:

Purpose In the performance measurement and management research field, the applicability of performance measurement systems (PMS) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and public administration has been considered a challenge. The diversity of these organizations makes it difficult to define proper terminology and organizational characteristics. PMS evolution has not yet been able to capture all performance dimensions of a public administration and, especially for NPO considering its dynamic and multiple goals. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework that identifies and classifies the factors that influence the design of PMSs in NPOs and public administration. Design/methodology/approach The study was developed through a systematic literature review (SLR). A set of 29 papers were intensely studied, and the results provide a multi-disciplinary and holistic set of factors. Findings A set of ten factors that influence the design of PMSs in NPO and public administration were found. They were categorized into three groups: factor related to purpose, stakeholders and management. Originality/value The study synthesized the literature and provided a conceptual framework of the factors that influence the design of PMSs in NPO and public administration. No individual paper collected in the SLR shows a similar organization of the factors as the present paper. The set of factors indicates the importance of this study for NPO and public administration, and how complex a PMS in an NPO and public administration can become. The conceptual model presented can further assist practitioners in developing design process observing the role that the identified factors play.

Abstract:

Although measuring the performance of a firm's R&D activities is a very challenging task, the critical role played by R&D in creating and sustaining a firm's competitive advantage has raised the need to adopt appropriate performance measurement systems (PMSs) in R&D units. Therefore, management scholars have been studying this issue and PMSs have diffused in the R&D departments of most R&D-intensive companies. Nevertheless, empirical investigations into the diffusion and practical use of PMSs in R&D units mainly concern Anglo-Saxon countries, where R&D information disclosure requirements have been in place for a long time. The purpose of this paper is to study the diffusion and practical use of PMSs in the R&D units of firms that are not subject to these types of external institutional influences. With this aim, the results of a survey on the R&D performance measurement practices adopted by a sample of Italian R&D-intensive firms are discussed. They allow to understand why and how R&D-intensive companies design and use a PMS in their R&D units for managerial purposes.

Abstract:

This research evaluates the practices of performance measurement systems (PMSs) in quick-service restaurant (QSR) chains. It proposes a sustainable PMS (SPMS) for emerging QSR chains enabling them to enhance their practices and achieve their strategic goals. A sequential explanatory mixed methodology was undertaken starting with self-administered survey directed to QSR managers in international and national chains in Egypt. This informed the second phase of a Delphi study with QSR experts. The results showed significant differences between the practices of PMSs in international and national chains. The research used an innovative approach to develop a meaningful and SPMS for supporting emerging QSR chains to enable them functioning properly in their environment, achieve their economic and operational goals, and compete successfully with international QSRs. Implications and limitations of the study were also discussed.

Abstract:

PurposeThis paper explores the impact of contemporary calculative practices, termed “accountingisation”, on Australian accounting academics' values. Also, it seeks to understand the rationale underlying the development of various university performance measurement systems (PMSs), and their implementation and evaluation.Design/methodology/approachA case study approach uses accounting academics' responses to an online survey and also semi-structured interviews with senior research-related leaders in a group of Australian universities. This is supplemented by document analysis. A narrative story-telling approach explores and presents the combined data observations, over the period 2010–2018, of two characters: a “typical” accounting academic and a “typical” vice-chancellor.FindingsThe study contributes to the literature on PMSs in understanding “accountingisation”, the rationale behind the development, implementation and evaluation of performance metrics by senior management and its impact on accounting academics. It juxtaposes and unpacks the complexities and nuances of PMSs and provides empirical evidence by highlighting the perceptions of both the Australian accounting academics and senior university management. The findings demonstrate a level of discontent among accounting academics in reconciling the expectations of increased “accountingisation” within university PMSs. These are juxtaposed against the views of senior university leaders who are influential in determining PMSs.Originality/valueThis paper is novel in considering the implications of “accountingisation” in a contemporary setting, focusing on accounting academics, values and individual PMSs within business schools.

Abstract:

Purpose Literature highlights the impact of culture on managerial processes in general and the performance measurement system (PMS) in particular. However, understanding how organizational culture (OC) influences the PMS remains a challenge, especially in SMEs as in these companies the studies are very limited. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how OC influences PMSs in manufacturing SMEs. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the above purpose, a case study approach has been adopted. Four manufacturing SMEs with heterogeneous OC were investigated by means of companies’ documents reviews, participant observations and semi-structured interviews. A conceptual framework based on the competing value framework proposed by Cameron and Quinn (1999) and the PMS typology proposed by Garengo (2009) has been used to investigate the impact of OC on PMS. Findings According to the results, OC has a huge impact on PMS in manufacturing SMEs. The dimensions of “internal/external focus” influence strategy formalization, monitoring of the external environment and performance review. The “flexibility/control” dimensions influence the adoption of the balanced (or unbalanced) set of performance measures a company uses. Originality/value This paper contributes to clarifying how OC influences PMSs in manufacturing SMEs. Moreover, the study of interplay between flexibility/control dimensions and internal/external dimensions supports the identification of three theoretical propositions and four PMS types related to the four different OCs identified by Cameron and Quinn (1999).

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the scholarship on public management models and to advance the theoretical conceptualization of the complexity of performance management systems (PMSs). The paper explores how the characteristics of PMSs vary within and across different organizational units in common institutional context, based on the case of a regional authority in Italy. Design/methodology/approach A framework of analysis considering both objective and subjective factors was derived from a combination of performance typologies in the public sector, namely ideal types of managing performance (Bouckaert and Halligan, 2007) and performance regimes (Jakobsen et al., 2017). The combination of the characteristics of these two models across different Directorates General (DGs) has also been explored through a nested case study (Starman, 2013). Data were gathered via a desk analysis of official documents regarding the planning and programming of a regional authority along with in-depth interviews with top-level managers. Findings The results highlighted a clear differentiation of PMSs, both within and across DGs. The findings of the study reveal the hybrid nature of PMSs within a common institutional context. Originality/value Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Bouckaert and Halligan (2007) and Jakobsen et al. (2017), the paper provides an integrated approach for analysing PMSs, considering both objective and subjective dimensions. Insights and indications for future research on hybridity at a meso level of public organizations are highlighted.

Abstract:

The progress made over the past three decades in the key elements of pavement management systems was evaluated, and the significant improvements expected over the next 10 years were projected. Eight specific elements of a pavement management system were addressed: functions, data collection and management, pavement performance prediction, economic analysis, priority evaluation, optimization, institutional issues, and information technology. Among the significant improvements expected in pavement management systems in the next decade are improved linkage among, and better access to, databases; systematic updating of pavement performance prediction models by using data from ongoing pavement condition surveys; seamless integration of the multiple management systems of interest to a transportation organization; greater use of geographic information and Global Positioning Systems; increasing use of imaging and scanning and automatic interpretation technologies; and extensive use of formal optimization methods to make the best use of limited resources.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This paper examines how firms design performance measurement systems (PMSs) to support the pursuit of mixed strategies. In particular, we examine the implications of firms' joint strategic emphasis on both low cost and differentiation for their use of performance measurement and incentive compensation. Analysis of survey data of 387 firms shows that more than half of the sample to some extent or fully mixes strategic priorities, while strategic priorities resembling strategic archetypes (primarily low cost or differentiation) populate only 36 percent of the sample. Our analyses support that, as compared to archetypal strategies, pursuing mixed strategies elicits design of more comprehensive and complex PMSs that are aimed at balancing effort and decisions toward the multiple strategies pursued.

Abstract:

Purpose – Seaborne trade accounts for 90 per cent of world’s total trade activity. Ship management is a highly skilled discipline with a high degree of complexity yet it has failed to follow with the same pace the advancements of performance measurement systems (PMSs) like other industries. Business performance measurement has only recently become a relevant topic in shipping. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the adoption of PMS in the shipping industry. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire was developed based on the performance measurement literature and submitted to 100 shipping companies around the world obtaining 41 usable questionnaires covering 13 countries from Europe, Asia and America. Findings – The adoption of performance measurement differs based on type of business: liquid bulk (tanker) vessels and bulk carriers or containers. Quality and safety management systems have fostered the adoption of performance measurement positively in tankers impacting decision making and the performance of shipping companies using PMS. Research limitations/implications – While the sample is representative of the situation of the industry, it represents the results of one point in time. Practical implications – The use of PMSs can be a tool to achieve superior performance but it may be fostered by, and has to be aligned with the needs of, internal and external stakeholders. Early adopters in the shipping industry are among the leaders in the industry. Originality/value – The paper is a unique contribution to performance measurement since it explores the adoption of PMSs and its impact in performance at industry level in a global industry.

Abstract:

Based on contingency and agency insights, this study examines the influence of ownership characteristics on performance measurement systems (PMSs) and outcome-based compensation systems driven by differences in organizational goals and objectives between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) in Vietnam. The influence of ownership characteristics on the design of PMSs received little attention from researchers so far. Moreover, the few studies that are available so far only examined the relationship between firm ownership characteristics and the presence and use of economic performance indicators and economic outcome-based compensation in firms. In this study, the scope of PMSs is broader, and sustainability indicators focusing on community programs, ethical behavior, and government regulation are included in addition to economic based indicators. Analyzing survey data with the use of partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM), we find that the higher the share of the government in an organization’s capital is, the significantly more governmental duty indicators and significantly fewer ethical indicators and economic indicators are included in the PMS and outcome-based compensation systems. The inclusion of community indicators is not associated with firm ownership characteristics. Meanwhile, non-SOEs include significantly more economic value indicators, but no societal measures, like ethical, community-oriented, and governmental duty indicators.

Abstract:

AbstractAirport Pavement Management System (APMS) is a useful tool, including a set of procedures for collecting, analyzing, maintaining, and reporting pavement data, thus assisting airports in finding optimum cost-effective treatments to preserve their pavement assets. The paper provides an in-depth overview of the APMS from an extensive literature review with the aim to identify numerous issues within APMS, such as the components, Pavement Condition Indices, software utilization, and the comprehensive implementation process. The methodology adopted for this research is a descriptive-based study approach on the various airport pavement manuals, guidelines and advisory circulars, journal articles, and book publications for the APMS applications. The airport pavement management systems and the case studies in various airports internationally will be included in the review. The study includes various subjects such as major components, benefit and cost approach, management in different levels, software utilization, maintenance, and rehabilitation (M&R) policies in the implementation of the APMS. Additionally, the research examines the pavement performance indicators that are the key elements for evaluating pavement conditions. Besides, the APMS software programs can store historical information, analyze data, develop models, and generate reports for M&R in association with the budget, including estimating future pavement life. The study summarizes the condition data required for the implementation and operation of an APMS, as well as the information generated by the APMS. The review highlights the benefits of an APMS in providing the airport operators and engineers far more informed position for decision-making to forecast future pavement maintenance requirements for an adequate and timely M&R.

Abstract:

Improving road safety through proper pavement engineering and maintenance should be one of the major objectives of pavement management systems. When pavements are evaluated in terms of safety, a number of factors related to pavement engineering properties are raised, such as pavement geometric design, paving materials and mix design, pavement surface properties, shoulder type, and pavement color and visibility. Each year there are voluminous annual reports on traffic accident statistics and discussions of such road safety issues as road safety modeling and pavement safety measurements and criteria. Although road safety may be considered a separate area, it should be incorporated into pavement management systems. The main pavement engineering relationships associated with road safety are identified, and the various aspects of road safety related to pavement management, such as pavement types, pavement surface macrotexture and microtexture, and pavement safety measurements, criteria, and evaluation methods, are discussed. A systematic approach is proposed for the coordination of pavement maintenance programs with road safety improvement and the incorporation or integration of safety management with pavement and other management systems. Finally, a list of possible remedial measures for road safety improvements associated with pavement maintenance activities is recommended.

Abstract:

The process of selecting road maintenance technologies for the Pavement Management System (PMS) can use road pavement moduli of deformation as the substantiating information. Assessment criteria based on either pavement or base course moduli of deformation have strong empirical underpinning, since the stiff plate bearing testing (SPBT) is commonly used worldwide. This paper discusses potential practical applications of plate bearing test numerical simulation based on Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) deflection data, and theoretical model based on flexible pavement. It was proven that including a pavement model with stress dependency, the simulated second load-displacement curves meet reliably plate bearing in-situ test conditions for different layers of either subgrade or base courses of road pavement. This methodology is feasible by classifying technical condition of each lower layer of road pavement against requirements towards new pavements.

Abstract:

The Nevada Department of Transportation has a fully implemented pavement management system (PMS) at the network level and an extensive pavement evaluation system at the project level. Both systems use actual field performance data that are collected annually from pavement sections throughout the state. The PMS is being further developed to incorporate performance modeling, life-cycle cost analysis, and network optimization processes. Once fully developed the system will allow the engineer to select the best rehabilitation and maintenance alternative that can carry the pavement over the entire analysis period. The project-level evaluation process includes the use of nondestructive testing data and condition surveys from the PMS. The overall systems are summarized at both levels, and the individual steps that are involved within each system are described.

Abstract:

Many transportation agencies use pavement preservation programs to manage their pavement assets cost-effectively. One important aspect of pavement preservation is the use of preventive maintenance treatments to improve the functional condition of the network and retard the overall rate of deterioration. Because preventive maintenance treatments are less expensive than resurfacing or reconstruction projects, a preventive maintenance program can provide a cost-effective means of meeting pavement performance goals. Pavement management systems support pavement preservation strategies in important ways. They assist in identifying and prioritizing preventive maintenance needs, justifying funding levels, and evaluating the long-term impacts of various preservation strategies. To date, many agencies have operated preventive maintenance activities in isolation from pavement management programs. However, many potential benefits can be gained from the closer integration of these two activities. A transportation agency that wishes to integrate preventive maintenance and pavement management might be required to make several changes. Specific technical areas in which changes might be needed include condition surveys and condition index calculations, pavement performance models, treatment rules, and program development. In addition, several institutional issues must be addressed to successfully integrate the two programs. Examples from state highway agencies illustrate possible solutions.

Abstract:

One of major problems of road management in developing countries is the lack of decision making toolsfor preparing road maintenance programmes. This results in poor resource allocation and poor utilisationof existing assets. Pavement management systems (PMS) have been developed around the world in order to assist with the pavement management process in a co-ordinated and systematic manner. Some developed countries have derived pavement performance models that are suited to local conditions by setting up long term pavement performance studies. Conversely, most developing countries do not have the resources required to set up similar large-scale field experiments. However, validation and calibration of models developed from comprehensive studies elsewhere offers a viable lternative for such countries. This paper evaluates the feasibility of using HDM-4 as a support software and determines level 1 calibration factors for PMS in Tanzania. The paper demonstrates the use of a calibrated HDM-4 to determine the required road management information in developing countries.
