Abstract
This paper describes a project funded by the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC). The purpose of this project is to investigate the use knowledge-based systems techniques to link the BSM highway management system to the economic appraisal model HDM-111. The World Bank model, HDM-111, provides long-term highway deterioration, maintenance and road-user cost forecasts. These forecasts are used to provide an objective basis for the fundamental maintenance strategies used in system BSM. Both systems run on a standard configuration personal computer. The two systems are linked using tools developed in PDC-PROLOG.
