Book Description
To improve the planning mechanisms of highway maintenance and rehabilitation, many agencies have resorted to pavement management systems built as simple optimization models. These models are generally inadequate because they are too inflexible. The core of the proposed system is a general Markov decision process structure in which administrative divisions of the highway network (regions, districts) are explicitly taken into account. This basic structure is stated in an equivalent linear programming format which then allows for the addition to the model of various linear constraints. The other fundamental element of the system is a formal descriptive framework which is made up of a network language and a scenario language. This paper describes both languages, the general Markov decision process structure, and the current computer implementation of the system. Planned future developments are also outlined.

Book Description
Modern highway engineering reflects an integrated view of a road system's entire lifecycle, including any potential environmental impacts, and seeks to develop a sustainable infrastructure through careful planning and active management. This trend is not limited to developed nations, but is recognized across the globe. Edited by renowned authority

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to prepare guidelines that can be used by state level pavement management engineers to help them perform their work more effectively. One of the key activities covered is how to deal with evolving technologies that affect data collection, storage, and presentation process.

Book Description
Managing Ontario's highway network is a complex task, due to the size of the province, different climatic zones, highway classes and pavement types. The development of the 2nd generation Pavement Management System (PMS/2) for the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) was aimed at enhancing the Ministry's pavement management process in the areas of the data management and network level analysis, the latter was based on the development of the Decision Support Subsystem (DSS). In the process of developing and implementing the existing mainframe based PMS, the Ministry has acquired a large amount of experiences in terms of data acquisition, pavement performance index modeling, pavement rehabilitation and engineering decision support models, etc. This paper provides highlights of how these experiences were encompassed in developing the second generation PMS. The paper will also present the main modules in the system in order to facilitate description of the challenges and the approach used in the development of the decision support elements, and how these elements are implemented in PMS/2. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211271.

Book Description
Sponsored by the Highway Division of ASCE; Long-Term Performance Program of the Federal Highway Administration. This collection contains papers from the International Contest on LTPP [Long-Term Performance Program] Data Analysis 1998-1999. This competition involved university students in the analysis of data in the LTPP database. Topics include: effect of locked-in curvature on portland cement concrete pavement; evaluation of a pavement performance prediction model using LTPP data; prediction of pavement performance?a neural network approach; and effectiveness of preventative maintenance strategies for asphalt concrete pavements based on LTPP distress data.
