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...

A: INTRODUCTION The Wisconsin Transportation Technology Transfer Center (Transportation Information Center) has developed a roadway management program for Wisconsin local agencies. This system has been developed in cooperation with local road agency associations and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Wisconsin's pavement management system has evolved from a basically paper system devel...

Pavement condition evaluation is a significant part of a good pavement management system for effective maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction decision-making. One of the key components of pavement condition evaluation is the quantification of pavement distresses data. Cracking is the main form of early pavement distresses. Cracking of pavement affects road condition, driving comfort, t...

This report is the result of a research project on a pavement management system that was preformed by the Transportation Division of Iran University of Science and Technology. Information used in the project was collected from 20 zones of the Tehran Municipality. Any maintenance and repair system for roads is normally compared of a number of general and coordinated activities in conjunction wit...

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...

ABSTRACT: Most pavement maintenance management systems tend to be either non-analytical databases or statistical correlation models. However, pavement maintenance is part of a complex system comprising the road pavement, the environment, diverse users, the maintenance authority and Local/State/Federal Governments. This system has significant feedbacks, making it a suitable field for system dyna...

This report discusses the implementation of a pavement condition rating (PCR) procedure to sample sections of the road network system. The resources needed are identified for such implementation. The uses of PCR data at the network and project level are also identified. The report stresses the development of a data base for integration of the various engineering systems for pavement management ...

One of the main components of pavement management system (PMS) is pavement evaluation. Several indices have been defined for the evaluation of existing pavement. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a common index used for pavement evaluation. In order to calculate PCI, a significant volume of condition data -based on distress surveying- is required. The objective of this research is to reduce...
