“…A proactive approach is pavement preservation oriented: it seeks to create a system of implementing relatively less invasive and small-scale repairs on roads prior to structural degradations occur, limiting the necessity of full depth road reconstruction. Compared to the reactive approach it will result in long-term savings, reduced traffic congestion, without leading to a massive safety condition reduction [2,6]. Data collection and analysis phases are crucial to perform a proactive approach, basilar for a successful PMS implementation, as reported by other authors [7,8].…”

“…At the same time, agencies were conscious that delay in PMS application would lead to a more rapid deteriorating of global road network and to economical lost [8]: this consideration has fed the interest of several road authorities and researchers in developing automated and semi-automated procedures for pavement assessment and evaluation. Several systems and procedures have been implemented during the last ten years, focused on improving survey technique, especially in order to overcome the limits of manual survey [6,9], in increasing operating safety, and improving the cost-benefit ratio [10].…”

The road pavement condition affects safety and comfort, traffic and travel times, vehicles operating cost and emission levels. In order to optimize the road pavement management and guarantee satisfactory mobility conditions for all the road users, the Pavement Management System (PMS) is an effective tool for the road manager. An effective PMS requires the availability of pavement distress data, the possibility of data maintenance and updating, in order to evaluate the best maintenance program. In the last decade, many researches have been focused on pavement distress detection, using a huge variety of technological solutions for both data collection and information extraction and qualification. This paper presents a literature review of data collection systems and processing approach aimed at the pavement condition evaluation. Both commercial solutions and research approaches have been included. The main goal is to draw a framework of the actual existing solutions, considering them from a different point of view in order to identify the most suitable for further research and technical improvement, also considering the automated and semi-automated emerging technologies. An important attempt is to evaluate the aptness of the data collection and extraction to the type of distress, considering the distress detection, classification and quantification phases of the procedure.

“…A proactive approach, instead, is oriented towards the conservation of the pavement, trying to create a system relatively less invasive and small-scale repairs on the roads, before the structural damages occur, thus limiting the need for a deeper pavement rehabilitation. Compared to the traditional approach, it will result in long-term savings, reduced traffic congestion, as well as a lower reduction in safety conditions [5,10].…”

One of the criteria adopted by the Word Bank with the aim of defining the economic level of a country is represented by the condition of the road pavements. To ensure adequate road pavement quality, road authorities should be continuously monitoring and repair the detected anomalies. To fast solve problems associated with poor quality of road surface such as comfort or safety, the presence of distress must be detected quickly. The high-performance pavement distress detection, such as those base on the image processing or on the laser scanning, is very expensive and does not allow to the road administration to conduct the appropriate monitoring campaigns. To solve these problems, the paper describes the pave box methodology, an innovative and immediately operational distress detection approach based on the exploitation of data collected by the black boxes located inside the vehicles that routinely pass on the road network. Data processing and the algorithms used in the post-processing evaluation of the vertical acceleration were compared with existing visual surveys procedures such as PCI. Two different indices have been proposed to detect and classify both the local damages and the global condition of the entire road. Pave box provides a robust evaluation of the pavement condition that allows to detect all the severe distress and not less than 70% of the minor damages on the pavement surface. The proposal is characterized by low time and cost consumption and it represents an effective tool for road authorities.
