Software development process : web-based pavement management systems as case study
… testing, maintenance, and project management. Over the past thirty years, different kinds of life cycle models have been developed by applying these phases to provide developers with the most appropriate procedures for projects of various types. In addition, a set of development …

Application of Markov process to pavement management systems at the network level
A probabilistic network level pavement management system (PMS) has been developed based on the Markov process. The system uses PCI method for pavement condition rating. The pavement performance prediction model has been developed based on the Markov process. Homogeneous and non-homogeneous Markov …

Enhancement of Network Level Macrotexture Measurement Practices through Deterioration Modeling and Comparison of Measurement Devices for Integration into Pavement Management Systems
… prediction of surface macrotexture for use in pavement management systems. This was achieved through two experiments, the first modeled the behavior of a binder-rich stone matrix asphalt when subjected to traffic loading using a heavy vehicle simulator to report the effect on pavement …

Material diversification in pavement management : a technique to proactively deal with an uncertain future
Pavement management systems are important tools that planning agencies depend upon for the effective maintenance of roadway systems. Although uncertainty is an inherent trait of these systems, the current approaches generally exclude its consideration from the analysis. Consequently, …

Network-Level Structural Condition Data for Sustainable Pavement Asset Management
Pavement management systems (PMS) are critical tools that agencies use to optimize maintenance and rehabilitation (MandR) decisions. Traditionally, PMS frameworks rely primarily on surface condition indicators such as cracking, rutting, and roughness to trigger treatments and allocate resources. …

Improving network pavement performance management using machine learning
… necessitates the development of sound network pavement performance models and optimization approaches to select appropriate maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategies for pavement performance management at the network-level. A key challenge to apply the current pavement performance models …

Life Cycle Assessment of Sustainable Road Pavements: Carbon Footprinting and Multi-attribute Analysis
… becoming a significant part of strategic asset management worldwide. Road agencies are providing guidelines to assess the relative sustainability of road projects. Unfortunately, environmental features of a road project are still considered as stand-alone evaluations, an added value. Very little …

Evaluation of New Weigh-in-Motion Technology at the Virginia Smart Road
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems have improved the process of collecting data from heavy vehicles on the U.S. highway system and enforcing the laws that govern vehicle weights. The benefits of WIM are reaped by everyone from highway designers and voernments officials, to truck drivers and …

Improving pavement networks through performance-based planning with optimal treatment strategies and management policies
… planning (PBP) is an efficient way to improve pavement networks. It is the practice of using data from pavement management systems (PMSs) to support analyses on the predicted network performance based on available budgets, treatment strategies and management policies. PBP involves the …

District Level Preventive Maintenance Treatment Selection Tool for Use in Virginia
… to improve network condition by retarding future pavement deterioration. The Virginia Department of Transportation uses its pavement management system to determine maintenance targets for each district. The districts then use these recommendations to select pavements that will receive maintenance …
