Prediction and management of routine pavement repair costs

Contractors use deterioration models to determine the amount of major treatments that are required to meet the performance measures. It is accepted practice that between major treatments, minor reactive repairs such as patching, leveling and pothole filling are required to maintain a trafficable surface. Contractors have to make some form of assessment of what work will be required to perform this work. The challenge in this is to determine how many of these repairs are predictable. This paper sets out the development of a model to determine the quantity of pavement repairs that are required to maintain the pavement to an acceptable condition. The model has been developed for use on New Zealand State Highways that typically are granular pavements with thin bituminous surfacings. The model uses the attributes of individual treatments lengths within a network to quantify of pavement repairs that will be required under a particular pavement management strategy.
