pavement management system

Implementation of a pavement management system for maintenance and rehabilitation of airport surfaces

Airport pavements should satisfy safe and regular aircraft operations; thus, it is necessary to monitor these surfaces and implement expensive maintenance and rehabilitation works. The Airport Pavement Management System (APMS)is an approach to monitor the pavement condition and to determine the priorities for intervention, to plan, and to allocate resources through procedures. The method for monitoring pavement conditions is currently adopted by the airport management company because it is necessary to the airport operability.

Development of network-level pavement deterioration curves using the linear empirical Bayes approach

Modelling the pavement deterioration process is essential for a successful pavement management system (PMS). The pavement deterioration process is highly influenced by uncertainties related to data acquisition and condition assessment. This paper presents a novel approach for predicting a pavement deterioration index. The model builds on a negative binomial (NB) regression used to predict pavement deterioration as a function of the pavement age.
