**2. Aims of study**

Some of Iraq's main cities are connected by a network of roads, which serve as the primary routes for the movement of people and products. It connects the country's different towns to the country's only sea port, which is located in Basra province and is considered the country's economic artery. After 2003, there was a massive rise in the number of automobiles, due to a change in the regime and increased purchasing power, as well as population growth. Highways, on the other hand, have not seen a rise in proportion to this expansion; in fact, they have suffered from a lack of maintenance. Highways in Iraq require effectual management systems for current restoration and maintenance, as well as enlargement and long-term sustainability. This research aims to provide an effective management system based on specialized databases and computer programs, guaranteeing that sufficient finances are available for highway maintenance and the establishment of standards.
