Pavement Performance

Pavement performance research focuses on predicting and optimizing the lifespan and serviceability of road surfaces, aiming to improve maintenance strategies and reduce costs. Current research heavily utilizes machine learning, particularly deep learning architectures like LSTM and multi-task models, to predict pavement condition indices (PCI) from various data sources, including historical performance data and images. These advanced modeling techniques are integrated with causal inference approaches to better understand the long-term effects of maintenance policies, considering both economic and environmental factors. The resulting improved predictive capabilities and optimized maintenance plans offer significant potential for enhancing road infrastructure management and resource allocation.
