The derivation of transition matrices has traditionally been effected using one of two
methods. The standard approach is to observe, from historical data, the way in which a road …

Pavement management systems employ pavement performance models to plan the most
effective allocation of public funds. The most used models are the deterministic and the …

Quantification of the impacts of projected climate change on road pavement performance is
possible using predictive models that correctly consider key causal factors of pavement …

Reported in this paper are the process and outcomes of deterioration modelling for five
types of pavement bituminous surfacing for use in identifying and prioritising resurfacing …

Deterioration models for pavement surface distresses have been developed using
probabilistic modelling approaches. The condition data is collected using visual inspection …

Infrastructure maintenance and replacement decisions are subject to uncertainties such as
regular asset degradation, structural failure, and price uncertainty. In the engineering …

We solve two related problems: i) the harvest scheduling problem and ii) the forest road
maintenance scheduling problem. The main objective is to evaluate the effect of stochastic …

The Wyoming technology Transfer Center (WYT2/LTAP) is currently in the process of
developing a Gravel Roads Management System (GRMS) in Wyoming. One of the major …

Purpose Automated condition surveys have been recently introduced for condition
assessment of highway infrastructures worldwide. Accurate predictions of the current state …

This paper presents details of the development and implementation of a stochastic-based
performance-prediction model using the Markov chains method for road network pavement …
