Abstract: India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and has the second-largest road network globally. The road network is a crucial component of the transportation sector, making it the right time to develop and implement a road maintenance management system. Currently, the measurement of pavement distress is carried out through physical inspections alone. If the cost of maintenance exceeds the cost of road reconstruction, it becomes an uneconomical option. Therefore, there is a need for an economically viable solution. This study focuses on assessing the quantity and severity of pavement distress to evaluate the condition of the road network in the Sangli district. By analysing the distress data, a priority list for maintenance activities within the selected road network is established, along with the development of a maintenance management system. An economic analysis is conducted to compare the costs of maintenance versus reconstruction, providing a clear differentiation between the two. The road maintenance management system aims to ensure that maintenance is carried out at the appropriate time, optimizing the overall management of the road network.
