◆Efforts of VRD(MOT)
Preparation of L/T,S/T road management & maintenance plan
◆Assistance from WB(HDM-4)
RNIP (Road Network Improvement Project,2003 ～）
◆ Assistance from ADB(ROSY)
ISDP (Implementation of Sector Development Policy, 2004 ～）
◆ Assistance from JICA
SAPI 2006 ～
→ VRD can not yet use the system in
successful manner
Current Situation of Road
Maintenance (Budget)
⇒Necessity of the plan
 Main Items raised as problems of current
system in SAPI-2

◆Database Formation
・ Coverage of Data Collected (11030km/17300Km)
・ Road condition data for about 17% of 11000km
have not been collected
・ Lack of planning related data such as VOC,
pavement deterioration, etc
◆Necessity of mechanism for data check
◆Customization of database software
◆Procedure for road maintenance planning and
role of each organization (VRD and RRMU)
 Main Points to be considered

◆Close Collaboration between planning

and data collection
Planning system implementation
⇔ Accurate data collection
◆More utilization of data by local offices
◆Appropriate role to be shouldered by
each organization (VRD, RRMU)

⇒Necessity of regional basis approach

(Strengthening of RRMU)
