TRIGGER VALUES AND COMBINED INDEXES FOR USE IN PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PRIORITIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION. ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION CONVENTION HELD AT CSIR CONFERENCE CENTRE, MEIRING NAUDE ROAD, PRETORIA, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, 4-7 AUGUST 1986

An important component of any rehabilitation and maintenance programming is an index or scale for selecting candidate projects for rehabilitation and establishing priority among the candidate projects. In the last two decades, tools and concepts of multiple attribute decision making (madm) have been applied to the development of a prioritization index for pavement rehabilitation. However, virtually no effort has been made towards developing a unified ranking system for both rigid and flexible pavements. This paper presents a univariate time series model dealing with a single common attribute existing in both rigid and flexible pavements, such as roughness. The single attribute method is extended by adding more attributes, such as cracking, rutting, punchouts, etc, to form a multiple attribute decision making method. The goal programming model determines the relative weights for the multiple attributes. Several advantages of these models for practical application are discussed. For the covering abstract of the convention see IRRD 810249. (Author/TRRL)
