Study on the New Concept of the Highway Maintenance

Abstract

The goal of the highway maintenance achievement and effect contract management is to maximize reduce the maintenance cost, prolong the service life of the highway; preventive maintenance investment little, benefit is good, spend less money, and prevent illness.

A Hybrid Approach to Investigating Major Management Factors for Effective Highway Preventive Maintenance

“…Highways play a critical role as modern transportation infrastructure, providing an essential capacity and quality level that fosters sustainable development across the economy, society, humanities, and environment (Wang 2022, Jiang et al 2012). As one of the most crucial infrastructure types, enhancing their sustainability is a top priority to achieve better transportation functions, reduce environmental impacts, ensure passengers' safety and comfort, extend highways' service life, thus creating a better People-Environment-Infrastructure relationship in the urban transportation system (Kothari et al 2022, Naseri et al 2022).…”

“…This process includes conducting regular inspections and assessments of the highway to detect signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or potholes. Upon identi cation of such issues, maintenance measures such as sealing cracks or patching potholes can be promptly implemented to prevent further damage (Yan 2020, Jiang et al 2012). Effective HPM is a reasonable approach towards sustainable highways as it prioritizes preventative maintenance over corrective maintenance through early treatment, proactive maintenance, and advanced maintenance (Shi 2017, Zou et al 2022).…”
