America’s “crumbling roads” currently headline the infrastructure zeitgeist, but deteriorating sidewalks are also in desperate need. Sidewalks can be vibrant, social conduits in cities that, when safe and well-maintained, enhance public health and enable accessible passage for all residents, particularly the most vulnerable. The scant but burgeoning research on pedestrian infrastructure has largely focused on data collection technologies and spatial analysis. This research instead seeks to uncover the similarities and differences in how American cities treat their road versus sidewalk networks by asking: are these two indispensable assets of daily urban public life repaired, maintained, and funded disparately? The research was structured around interviews with employees of 16 U.S. cities about their road and sidewalk policies and procedures. We found multiple disparities between roads and sidewalks in and among American cities, including: municipality responsibility, repair timeliness, data availability, and condition assessment. We also discuss cities’ pressing concerns for these assets and directions for future research. The implications of this study could affect several themes across transportation infrastructure, including project prioritization, equity, and efficient government spending.

This paper aimed at utilizing GIS software in calculating pavement condition index )PCI( values, using four different interpolation methods: IDW, spline, trend and kriging. The case study covers four major streets in Nablus city with a total length of about 6.50 km. The PCI values were calculated using the ASTM conventional method. The four streets were divided into equal 100- meter sections. The PCI values were also calculated for each point of defect in both directions of the streets. The results of the four methods (point by point of defects) were compared manually with the conventional method (ASTM procedure). The results showed that the spline method had a strong correlation with the conventional method in terms of multiple R and R-square calculation (multiple R for left 0.918, right 0.947 and R2 for left 0.843, right 0.897). This method also fitted the data better than the other methods, as seen from the linear regression model results, in addition to producing the minimum error value. The results indicated that by identifying the PCI value, it would be possible to select the proper pavement maintenance and corresponding cost for each point of defect. This in turn would help in prioritizing pavement sections. KEYWORDS: Pavement condition index (PCI), GIS, Interpolation, Distress, Maintenance, Spline.

“…Pavement quality evaluation is typically done using a combination of visual inspections, physical measurements, and non-destructive testing techniques (Okine and Adarkwa, 2013;Pierce et al, 2013;Buttlar and Islam, 2014;Seraj et al, 2016;Kamranfar et al, 2022). A standard practice for evaluating pavements at scale is by capturing the International Roughness Index (IRI) with a pavement roughness profiler or an inertial profiler.…”

Current quantitative methods to evaluate pavement conditions in the United States are most commonly focused on construction acceptance using the International Roughness Index (IRI). However, from an asset management perspective, qualitative visual inspection techniques are the most prevalent. Modern vehicles with factory-equipped sensors drive these roadways daily and can passively assess the condition of infrastructure at an accuracy level somewhere between qualitative assessment and rigorous construction acceptance techniques. This paper compares crowdsourced ride quality data with an industry standard inertial profiler on a 7-mile bi-directional construction zone. A linear correlation was performed on 14 miles of I-65 that resulted in an R2 of 0.7 and a p-value of <0.001, but with a modest fixed offset bias. The scalability of these techniques is illustrated with graphics characterizing IRI values obtained from 730,000 crowdsourced data segments over 5,800 miles of I-80 in April of 2022 and October 2022. This paper looks at the use of standard original equipment manufacturer (OEM) on-board sensor data from production vehicles to assess approximately 100 miles of roadway pavements before, during, and after construction. The completed construction projects observed IRI improvements of 10 in/mi to 100 in/mi. These results suggest that it is now possible to monitor pavement ride quality at a system level, even with a small proportion of connected vehicles (CV) providing roughness data.
