Road pavement history

Management aspects of road pavement rehabilitation

The optimization of a pavement management system necessitates the knowledge on the actual values of pavement condition parameters, actual pavement condition improvement as related to the use of various rehabilitation strategies, and scope of pavement deterioration before and after rehabilitation. The data for six pavement condition parameters (bearing capacity, unevenness, rut depth, macro text...

Toughness Performance of Recycled Aggregates for use in Road Pavement

The policy of driving organization such as Highways Agency is towards the use of performance related specifications. This policy and adoption of European wide aggregate standards on the one hand, and sustainable construction pressures on the other, all strongly emphasize on further need for more developments to specifications and performance assessment methodologies inst...

Neural Networks in Stereo Vision Evaluation of Road Pavement Condition

This study presents the method for the measurement of road pavement condition based on a stereo vision method of surface representation. The road is represented as a set of points in 3D space. Problems of stereo vision analysis regarding the ambiguity of matching points images, discontinuity depth for neighboring objects registered on the images, etc. were redacted by used neural networks. The ...

Roads to Development: Experimental Evidence from Urban Road Pavement∗

Urban peripheries in many developing country cities lack basic local public goods like pavement, water, sewerage and electricity. We estimate the impacts of slum infrastructure upgrading using an experiment in urban road pavement provision in Mexico. Our findings show that homes in streets that were paved increased their value between 13 and 24%. Households living in streets that were paved obt...
