Machine Learning Approach to Predict International Roughness Index Using Long-Term Pavement Performance Data
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)On-time pavement maintenance and rehabilitation are required to maintain or improve pavement roughness, which is an indicator of pavement performance and road safety. Better prediction of maintenance time can help in budget ... -
Development of a Deep Convolutional Neural Network for the Prediction of Pavement Roughness from 3D Images
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)Current roughness prediction models require extensive input data including pavement distress, climatic, and traffic data, which may be difficult to collect. In addition, these models have geographical limitations; therefore, ... -
Water Films and Hydroplaning on Highways: Hydrodynamic Aspects
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)The quantification of water depths resulting from rain events on highways is presented using concepts of flows along flat plates. The hydrodynamics of the water film was developed by taking the basis of the fluid–surfaces ... -
Life Cycle Information Models: Parameterized Linked Data Structures to Facilitate the Consistent Use of Life-Cycle Assessment in Decision Making
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)The recent enactment of the Buy Clean Act (2017) in California requires highway construction contractors to produce an environmental product declaration (EPD) at the point of installation for a list of all eligible ... -
PITTRIGID ME: Simplified Mechanistic-Empirical Design Tool for Pennsylvania Rigid Pavements Design and Analysis
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)To accelerate the implementation of the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Pennsylvania and take advantage of locally calibrated mechanistic-empirical models for pavement performance and design, ... -
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Flexible Pavements Using Kriging Models
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)In the design of flexible pavements, the target reliability levels can be achieved through a number of structural design alternatives by varying the design parameter (i.e., thickness and resilient moduli) combinations. ... -
Modeling Pavement Performance Indices in Harsh Climate Regions
(ASCE, 12/1/2021)Newfoundland and Labrador lies in the northeastern corner of North America. Road durability in this province is negatively affected by the harsh climate and ever-increasing traffic loads. The provincial five-year road plan ... -
