Analysis of pavement performance models (VSS1999/119)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The planning maintenance measure requires a good knowledge of the behavior of every distress parameter taken into account. So, all the time, it must be possible to extrapolate the functional and structural state parameters and to predict their evolution. PMS (Pavement Management System) tools integrate these forecasting functions but the supply of pavement performance models are required.
Objectives:
The research aims at inventorying actual pavement performance models that can be used in a PMS (Pavement Management System) and at making them applicable to the Swiss main road network. This involves also the detection of missing models and the proposition of a method for developing them.
