PARIS: A COLLABORATIVE EUROPEAN APPROACH TO PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS

The PARIS project is a collaborative European research effort aimed at development of pavement deterioration models for use in pavement management systems. The models to be developed will be based on data on the observed long term performance of over 800 test sections in 15 European countries. These field data will be augmented by data from Accelerated Loading Tests in three of the participating countries. This paper gives an overview of the project. Details are presented on the test sections involved, on the normalisation of local distress data to a common European format, on the database used for storage of the data and on the analysis system to be applied.
