Abstract: An iterative linear stochastic pavement management model is proposed that deploys a nonhomogenous discrete-time Markov chain for predicting the future pavement conditions for a given pavement network. A nonhomogenous ...

Abstract: A flexible pavement life-cycle model has been developed to yield an optimum maintenance and rehabilitation plan. The model incorporates into the optimization process both performance and cost associated with a life-cycle ...

Abstract: A global network optimization model has been developed for generating a pavement repair plan using expected performance of pavement repair works. The expected performance of pavement repair works is represented by the ...

Abstract: Performance of flexible pavement has long been recognized as an important parameter in the design of flexible pavements. Pavement surface condition evaluated using visual inspection is periodically done to assess pavement ...

Abstract: A simplified exhaustive search approach is proposed to estimate the nonhomogeneous transition probabilities for a particular infrastructure element. The yearly nonhomogeneous transition probabilities associated with ...

Abstract: An integrated pavement management system has been designed to provide the pavement engineers with an effective decision-making tool for planning and scheduling of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) work. The ...

Abstract: A series of laboratory experiments was performed to present the overbank flow in asymmetric rectangular compound channels. For this purpose, two different sets of asymmetric models with rectangular compound cross sections ...

Abstract: A macroscopic pavement management system has been designed to yield optimum pavement conditions under constrained budgets. The system can predict future pavement conditions from performance curves generated using the ...
