RoSy APMS – Digitalisation of airport pavements
RoSy APMS is a powerful Airport Pavement Management System for strategic and cost-effective maintenance planning providing full survey of an individual airport’s up to several airports’ pavement structures and assets allowing determination of optimum timing of intervention and a reliable basis for medium- and long-term budget planning.
RoSy APMS
RoSy APMS is a powerful pavement management system for the strategic and cost-effective maintenance planning of airport pavements. The APMS provides systematic analysis of condition data, optimum intervention timing and a reliable basis for medium- and long-term budget planning allowing transparent decisions and reliable budgeting of maintenance funds. RoSy APMS complies with international standards such as ASTM and ICAO. The system is based on Sweco’s profound experience with systematic pavement maintenance, data collection and assessment of pavements, which is based on the PCI method (Pavement Condition Index) as described in ASTM Standard D53-40, FAA and US Army Corps of Engineers.
Advantages with RoSy APMS
Strategic maintenance planning:
RoSy APMS analyses condition data and calculates the optimum time for interventions as well as priority of maintenance activities for reliable maintenance strategies with horisons up to 10 years.
Cost-effective budget planning:
The system provides optimization and calculation of maintenance strategies based on various budget scenarios documenting the most cost-effective and optimum use of available maintenance funds.
Transparent basis for decision-making:
By means of benefit-cost analysis and prognoses of capital development and risks RoSy APMS provides the user with necessary information to make plans for required actions for many airports or just one single airport down to a single section such as a taxiway, runway or apron.
What you can expect
RoSy APMS is a strategic Airport Pavement Management System for cost-effective maintenance planning. The system analyses condition data, simulates development and calculates optimum timing of intervention as well as budget needs.
How to use RoSy APMS in your daily work
You prioritise maintenance measures, compare scenarios and create economic planning with horisons up to 10 years. The system supports you in a professional and transparent presentation and argumentation towards the political decision-making level.
Why RoSy APMS
RoSy APMS combines technical assessment with economic considerations. Instead of acting reactively, you plan proactively, reduce consequential costs and ensure the long-term preservation of the value of your airport pavement structures and assets.

We create value
The combination of knowledge, expertise, and experience within road and airport maintenance systems gives Sweco a solid basis for the development of reliable Road Asset Management System RoSy® RAMS and Airport Management System, RoSy® APMS. We apply the systems in our daily consultancy services in combination with measuring equipment such as our falling weight deflectometers for bearing capacity measurements, PRIMAX, and PRIMA 100.
We work with projects from start to end and provide consultancy services in connection with, e.g.:
- Planning - design - condition registrations
- Financial optimisation
- Construction work where short time horizons are a challenge
- Repair and maintenance of air and landside pavements
- Asphalt mixes and recipes
- Alternative materials such as recycled materials
- Supervision and measurements in the field and geotechnical
