PERFORMANCE OF NATIONAL ROADS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

The article represents a research on the significant importance in the economic activity of road quality management, based on performance. In this regard, the author made a concrete estimate of some indicators that influence the development and economic growth by ensuring the implementation of quality road management, which was made by identifying the elements of progress in order to review the efficient use of resources. The factor generating economic growth and emancipation for the development of a society is the existence of modern and quality road networks that are able to ensure trade links at national level between various regions, but also internationally, in this way contributing to intensifying relations between states, connecting localities to the national network, thus facilitating the free movement of citizens and increasing mobility. Road quality management establishes and in fact transposes the quality policy through pre-established and systematic activities, so as to prevent non-quality, to ensure the achievement of the required quality of the road infrastructure. Investments in transport networks increase the capital invested compared to that realized in other fields of activity, based on direct and indirect effects, which result from saving costs and time by attracting the necessary resources to build modern road infrastructure. Progressive road management is based on the performance of both the programming and the implementation of maintenance and operational activities, as determined by the defined performance indicators. The scientific methods used are: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, critical analysis of materials, etc. The main results obtained from the investigations refer to the assessment of the indicators regarding the efficient management of the road quality by applying the progress performances in view of the users' access to qualitative public roads.
