Traditional pavement deterioration modeling is normally based on historical condition data alone without incorporating the fundamental relationships between the causal factors and the response. Also, typical approaches do not quantify the uncertainty

Frost related damage in pavements is a major concern for highway engineers in cold regions. The existing methods for mitigating frost damage in flexible pavements are expensive; they require greater construction control and are not fully effective. T

Initial implementation of a road management system will typically face the challenge of a lack of time-series data for performance modeling. This paper presents one approach for developing initial performance prediction models that are required to su

Practical optimization of infrastructure preservation works programming has always posed a computational challenge due to the complexity and scale of the problem. Critical to the process is formulations in which the identity of individual projects is
