Practical condition deterioration from historic data for asset management

Many asset management software packages require users to define their own deterioration models. The most basic model is a linear approach, more commonly users can input a quadratic equation to compute a more realistic ‘S-Curve’ model. This approach means users must make assumptions as to the likely future performance of their asset. This approach can be applied to groups of assets or hierarchies within one asset; however it does not take into account local effects. This paper describes the calculation of a deterioration model for a given condition parameter using as little as two years of historic data. Assessing deterioration from one year to the next in different parts of the network we show a full deterioration model can be generated. This provides users with a practical approach to creating models that take into account local factors such as traffic loading and material type automatically without construction records required by a slice in time approach. Models derived from real pavement condition data for rutting, ravelling, and roughness are presented together with comparisons against empirical methods currently in use in the UK.
