A review on empirical methods of pavement performance modeling

This paper conducts a comprehensive review of empirical methods of pavement performance modeling. The paper firstly analyzes performance measures used in existing pavement performance modeling. Then, based on whether pavement performance models can be automatically updated with newly observed data, this paper classifies the empirical methods into traditional modeling methods and adaptive modeling methods and discusses their main features, strengths, and weaknesses. It is found that, in the traditional modeling methods, comprehensive modeling methods typically can well incorporate both temporal and spatial characteristics of pavement performance but the interpretation capability of performance models based on machine learning techniques needs to be enhanced; the adaptive modeling methods describe the deterioration behavior of pavement performance in a more accurate way but need to improve the setting of updating conditions and the evaluation of updating effects. Finally, recommendations are made for future studies.
