Abstract
Road authorities and agencies around the world are facing continuous challenges sustaining network funds to monitor their networks. The fluctuation of market forces and the instability of economies around the world are two of the key challenges. The effective management of a road network requires that funding requirements are setup at a level which provides sufficient budget to maintain the core of "Roads" assets in a stable condition over the long-term. Currently, there is not a method for the allocation of funding for the management of the road network which considers the three key elements, specifically, deterioration, available funds, and political influence. There is also no framework which includes a metric for the consequences of influences that are unscheduled. This research has advanced the concept of funding allocation and distribution and examined the current practices with the intention to create a state of the art budgetary framework.
