Summary Road networks consist of road structures such as bridges, tunnels, earthworks, and pavements. Recently, as new structures are constructed based on standards focused on performance for specific function, existing structures also attempt to be managed rationally, focused on the performance states of the function. In the future, road structures also should be maintained and managed rationally in harmony with the whole road networks as well as the performance for each road structure. Based on the situations, NILIM studied on the performance index calculated considering the road networks.
