Abstract:
Roads are the lifeline of a nation which provides a reliable and easy access to different areas across the country. Once the roads are constructed, their condition goes on deteriorating with time. Therefore, implementing periodic pavement maintenance is equally important as that of construction for the satisfactory performance throughout their design life. This study develops an approach for pavement condition assessment and their prioritization which can be dealt with a variety of performance indicators for evaluating different aspects of pavement performance. Pavement stretches with low ratings will have a high probability to be scheduled for maintenance and rehabilitation, depending on the availability of funds and the importance of roads.
