Highway Development and Management package (HDM-4) is a Windows based updated
version of the highly popular and extensively used HDM-III planning
model. HDM-4 was released at the end of January 2000, and subsequently
improvements were made and version 2.0 was released in 2005, and developments
and updates are continuing. It was developed by international groups,
particularly the World Bank, under the coordination of the University of
Birmingham. This package forms the evaluation engine of many pavement
management systems around the world, and is generally required for analysis
of road projects supported by international funders. Having attended
the “Training-the-trainer” course Prof Visser is accredited to
run training courses, whereas Mr Kannemeyer was intimately involved in its
development.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
