Asphalt Pavement Crack Classification: a Comparison of Ga, Mlp, and Som
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asphalt pavement distress, the various defects such as holes and cracks, represent a significant engineering and economic concern. It is estimated that pavement defects cause damage costing $10 billion each year in the United States alone [10]. One important step in managing this problem is accurately assessing the pavement condition and its change over time. In this paper we compare three methods for automatically classifying pavement cracks, genetic algorithms, multilayer perceptrons, and selforganizing maps. We also discuss the impact of feature representation on the resulting classification. Our best classifiers demonstrated accuracies between 86 and 98% .

Investigating the Performance of Cracked Asphalt Pavement Using Finite Elements Analysis
Occurrence of top down and bottom up fatigue cracking in asphaltic pavements is common. Conventional pavement analysis methods ignore the existence of cracks in asphaltic layers. However, it seems that the responses of cracked pavement would not be the same as a pavement without crack. This paper describes effects of crack type, position and length, and vehicles tire inflation pressure and axle...

متن کاملA Notched Disk Crack Propagation Test for Asphalt Concrete
Cracking is a major distress in asphalt pavement which can lead to premature pavement failures and can cost agencies millions of dollars in maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Even with modern advances in pavement engineering, attempts to quantify and model cracking in asphalt pavements have proved extremely challenging; this is due to the visco-elastic behavior of asphalt concrete and the co...
