Аннотация:This study was conceived in order to apply the Tavakoli Model, which is a pavement management system for urban roads, aiming the analysis of prioritization of urban streets in a mid-sized city.A field study previously conducted by Suzano City and the Pavements Mechanics Laboratory of the University of São Paulo in Suzano City in 2007 was used, from which was created a database of the town"s streets.In that study, the Highway Design and Management (HDM-4) Model of the World Bank was employed for prioritizing maintenance work on public roads.In this study it was sought to develop a comparative study between the mentioned solution and the one reached by Tavakoli"s Model in the same set of roads.In this research the Tavakoli Model was adapted for the spreadsheets and applied to a set of pavement sections, allowing the determination of a priority list of interventions including the specific type of intervention for each segment.Subsequently, these same types of strategies or interventions were simulated for the same set of paths, seeking the prioritization, with HDM-4 Model version 1.0.Through this research it was possible to conclude that both criteria studied can be useful for managing urban roads, because they prioritized the necessary interventions in the urban roads analyzed.The Tavakoli Model proved to be more conservative, on account of being a closed criterion, with a priority index depending directly on the pavement condition index and average daily volume of traffic, affecting the classification of the sections directly as well.In the HDM-4 Model, the classification of the sections and values of the International Roughness Index did not match, due to HDM-4 being an open criteria model, which allows the user to add several parameters, and they can lead to more realistic report.
