This paper presents a fuzzy-based system that is used for maintenance planning of road pavements. The system has been developed based on knowledge elicitation from experienced maintenance engineers using fuzzy logic. The system includes functions for pavement condition and deterioration prediction, feasible treatment assessment in each pavement section, and maintenance planning in a road networ...
