DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR PAVEMENT OVERLAY DESIGN ---PROCEEDINGS OF SYMPOSIUM ON KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS IN CIVIL ENGINEERING. MONASH UNIVERSITY, CLAYTON, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA.
This paper describes recent experience with the development and performance of overdrive 1.2, a central component of paradigm (the pavement rehabilitation analysis and design mentor). Paradigm is a microcomputer based tool to integrate a set of knowledge based expert system (kbes) and algorithmic models for pavement rehabilitation decision making, particularly at the local level. Because the analysis and design of pavement rehabilitation strategies relies so heavily on experts, and many of the tasks involved are both complex and ill defined, conventional computer tools are of limited use in this domain. A basic premise of this research is that kbes can play a significant role in addressing these problems. Overdrive is a research prototype kbes to assist local engineers evaluate the structural adequacy of an existing flexible pavement, and design the structural thickness of an asphalt concrete overlay (a). For the covering record of the symposium, see IRRD no 814545.
