“…Initially, the decision on the pavement maintenance plan was solely depended on a pavement engineer or an asset manager. This would cause problematic inconsistency of the decision because it relied tremendously upon their past experiences or appetences [8]. The previous maintenance data could be another approach to establish a systematic maintenance program.…”

“…The previous maintenance data could be another approach to establish a systematic maintenance program. For instance, IRI threshold was acquired from the mean of past IRI values before the treatment, as seen in [8] - [11]. However, it could not clarify if the data was collected based only on engineering aspects or biased by politics, which could preempt the treatment decision.…”

“…In addition, it is further assumed that the distribution of AATA and AATX for any given year will follow triangular [3,5,7] and triangular [0.35,0.44,0.52], respectively. The predicted traffic growth rate over the simulation period is taken from the previous study and assumed to be 1.55% [8].…”

“…The deterioration of pavement is contributed to by two dominant aspects, weather and traffic load, which then are utilized as variables to forecast the behavior of highway conditions (see [8], [10], and [14]). The weather and traffic load can be defined as the average annual freeze index in thousands of Celsius-days (ANDX) and average annual truck traffic in millions (AATA), respectively.…”

Abstract. The budget for preserving highway pavement conditions is increasing every year, as well as the impulse to seek transparency of maintenance decisions. This paper presents a new paradigm in applying discrete-event simulation (DES) to capture an indeterministic process of rigid pavement deterioration with an implementation of rehabilitation treatment, namely, asphalt concrete (AC) overlays. This paradigm should facilitate decision makers in establishing the most appropriate maintenance procedure. In this study, the deterioration model was constructed and run over 50 simulated years with various numbers of International Roughness Index (IRI) to determine the rehabilitation cost and average IRI over the analysis period. The result shows that when focusing only on the treatment cost, the best treatment type is Minimal Surface Preparation with 4" AC overlay (MSP). If the treatment performance is considered as the objective for decision making, Crack/Break and Seat section with 8" AC overlay (CB&S8) provides the best pavement condition. Nevertheless, when both objectives are simultaneously considered, Crack/Break and Seat section with 4" AC overlay (CB&S4) outperforms the other rehabilitation types, specifically when the treatment is implemented on a good condition pavement with a relatively low IRI. MSP is, however, the most suitable when a pavement is in a less preferable condition with a relatively high IRI.

Preventive maintenance (PM) has been a pavement asset management strategy widely used by many highway agencies to improve pavement conditions, restore pavement serviceability, retard deterioration, and prolong pavement life. Practical experience shows that the effectiveness of different kinds of PM treatments varies for different distresses in short-term pavement performance which is related to the long-term pavement performance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PM treatments in short-term asphalt pavement performance using the Specific Pavement Studies (SPS-3) data of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program. The PM treatments included in the study were chip seal, crack seal, slurry seal, and thin overlay, and the related SPS-3 data were retrieved from LTPP for the study. Longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, alligator cracking, roughness, and rutting were employed as indicators to evaluate possible pavement performance improvements. Statistical methods were applied to compare the effectiveness of PM treatments in terms of the performance indicators of longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, alligator cracking, roughness, and rutting. In addition, mixed-effects logistic regression was conducted to find the significant influential factors and quantify the influence of various factors such as temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, subgrade material, truck traffic, and asphalt concrete layer thickness on the improvements of pavement performance. The analysis results showed that chip seal and thin overlay have most significant effects on short-term cracking improvements. Thin overlay has the best effect on short-term roughness and rutting improvements. As of influential factors, temperature, cloud cover, and subgrade material are significantly important factors in PM treatments. These results may provide performance data enabled understanding of the effectiveness of PM treatments.
