This book aimed to develop methods and tools for supporting maintenance management system for transportation. This is done by using Multicriteria Decision Making Process techniques. Also analytic hierarchy process (AHP) were applied to evaluate the techniques that are used for maintaining the road pavements. Software named AHPM (Analytic Hierarchy Process Model) was developed using MATLAB for flexible pavement. The first step in the AHP procedure is to decompose the decision problem into a hierarchy that consists of the most important elements of the decision problem. In developing a hierarchy identified the objective, factors and alternatives. The hierarchy model of a decision problem is the objective of the decision at the top level and then descends downwards lower level of decision factors until the level of attributes is reached. Each level is linked to the next higher level.
"This synthesis will be of special interest to maintenance engineers and others seeking information on strategies for parvement maintenance. Detailed information is presented on the selection of alternative treatments within the context of a pavement management system."--Avant-propos.
The cost of pavement maintenance keeps escalating upward as refining crude oil technology increases, a shortage of raw materials rises, and mining permits are harder to obtain. As a result, both private and public property owners and homeowners' associations will be spending more on pavement maintenance than ever before. Thomas and Patrick McDonald rely on nearly sixty years of experience in pavement construction and maintenance as well as years of research as they share practical tools and tips that will help anyone manage a successful pavement maintenance project. Through the included charts that will help determine maintenance strategies, the McDonalds guide others on how to: - Identify and repair distresses in asphalt pavement - Develop the proper scope of work, specifications, bids, and contract documents - Estimate repair costs, manage the project, and monitor job site materials - Evaluate the return on investment for repairs Designed specifically to aid in any asphalt projects for commercial properties, shopping centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings, and homeowners' associations or master communities, the Guide to Pavement Maintenance provides step-by-step leadership for anyone ready to tackle a pavement maintenance project.
This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators; pavement management system (PMS), maintenance, and computer engineers; and technologists involved with data collection and computer programming for the purposes of a PMS. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to pavement management methodologies to select projects and recommend preservation treatments. This report of the Transportation Research Board also describes the predominant pavement management methodologies being used by U.S. state and Canadian provincial transportation agencies; provides a general description of each methodology; and summarizes the requirements, benefits, hindrances, and constraints associated with each. It includes a review of domestic literature and a survey of current practices in North America. In addition, case studies are included to illustrate the use of these methodologies within transportation agencies. Operational and soon-to-be implemented technologies are also discussed, and an extensive bibliography is provided for further reference.
This book was written by academic's and practitioners who have lead the implementation of highway management processes and tools at several major corporations. The contents of this book have been presented in an interesting and enjoyable way, enhanced by real pictures of highway projects and pavement maintenance. This book contains five chapters, the first chapter entitled MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT: It was to clarify the concept and importance of maintenance and management professionally and smoothly, While the title of the second chapter is the HIGHWAY PROJECTS, and provided a detailed explanation of the management and implementation of highways, while reviewing the types and importance in the construction sector. The third chapter, entitled PAVEMENT DETERIORATION: The researchers reviewed the types of DETERIORATION in the riged and asphalt pavement, and explained the methods of treatment and maintenance necessary for each type. While the fourth chapter was entitled HIGHY WAY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS: It reviewed the methods of maintenance and importance in highway project, the fifth chapter entitled: PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: This chapter reviewed the most important global strategies in the management of pavement maintenance.
"The objective of this field guideline is to provide assistance for the pavement evaluation and selection of method of repair for routine maintenance relative to the extension of service life. First, a strategic overview of routine maintenance activities in terms of pavement condition, assessment, and recommendations for repairs, and second, the comparison of selected routine maintenance treatments in terms of repair cost, life extension, and working time are summarized in the tables. This guideline includes the following: pavement condition evaluation techniques, repair decision flowchart for routine maintenance, detail sheets. Because pavement condition evaluation is the key to determining proper routine maintenance activities, it is needed to validate the extent of distress related damage, the quality of drainage, and relative base/subgrade layer strength using NDT evaluation techniques. Pavement distress condition is considered relative to functional and structural performance in the decision process. Based on the pavement condition evaluation, decision flowchart provides guidance for effective routine maintenance. Moreover, this report introduces the detail plans of current concrete pavement repair methods using many state departments of transportation (DOTs) and the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) to provide various applications for routine maintenance. The original plans of DOTs used in this chapter are attached in Appendix B and special specifications are attached in Appendix C."--Technical report documentation page
Focusing on the process of pavement management, this text covers topics such as data acquisition and evaluation, network level priority programming and project level design. Examples of working systems are provided, as well as guidance for implementation.
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
The purpose of this study was to prepare guidelines that can be used by state level pavement management engineers to help them perform their work more effectively. One of the key activities covered is how to deal with evolving technologies that affect data collection, storage, and presentation process.
