Influence of Traffic Characteristics on Pavement Performance of Parking Lots

This research aims to identify and interpret the main traffic characteristics affecting pavement condition index (PCI) of asphalt within parking areas. The study also examines effect severity type distress on decisions. Previous literature impact environment deterioration. paper will focus shape operations a area. methodology includes applying multilevel mixed regression model reveal hidden hierarchical relationship between activities different types distresses then discovering their PCI. resulting models showed that lots are aging faster than common traveling roads due increased axial loads surfaces at low static speeds some distinctive characteristics. Moreover, distress, such as alligator cracks, potholes depressions, appear more widely others lot surface significantly influence decision. conclusion may design maintenance management for lots.
