The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.
• A closing ceremony on the final day to distribute certificates and celebrate participants achievements.

Course Introduction:

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have revolutionized the planning, construction, and maintenance of pavement infrastructure. The integration of GIS with pavement management enhances decision-making, optimizes resource allocation, and improves the longevity of road networks. This training program is designed to provide professionals with in-depth knowledge of pavement construction, maintenance strategies, and GIS-based management systems.

Through theoretical instruction, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will gain practical expertise in utilizing GIS for pavement assessment, maintenance planning, and cost-effective infrastructure management.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of pavement materials, design, and construction.
• Apply GIS for pavement condition assessment and maintenance planning.
• Implement advanced techniques for pavement performance monitoring.
• Develop efficient maintenance strategies to extend pavement lifespan.
• Optimize data management and decision-making through GIS applications.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and sustainability goals.
• Integrate remote sensing and AI for pavement assessment.
• Improve decision-making for road network expansion and rehabilitation.

• Civil and Transportation Engineers
• Road and Infrastructure Planners
• GIS Specialists and Analysts
