Download or read book Automated Pavement Maintenance and Repair Management System written by Mohamed Y. Shahin and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the use of a computer system designed to aid the facilities engineer in managing pavement maintenance and repair. The system, called PAVER, consists of a computer data base for storage of relevant pavement information, forms for collecting data, and a set of report-generator programs to retrieve information from the data base in an organized format. Adoption of the system will help the facilities engineer achieve the following benefits: prevention of over- or undermaintenance of pavements, more efficient utilization of funds, more efficient scheduling of maintenance activities, rapid retrieval of pavement information (especially important in determining work requirements for submission to the shop or contractor), and documentation of pavement performance. Procedures are presently being developed to interface PAVER with the Integrated Facilities System (IFS). (Author).

Download or read book Automated Pavement Condition Surveys written by Linda M. Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 531 documents agency practices, challenges, and successes in conducting automated pavement condition surveys. The report also includes three case examples that provide additional information on agency practices for conducting automated pavement surveys. Pavement condition data is a critical component for pavement management systems in state departments of transportation (DOTs). The data is used to establish budget needs, support asset management, select projects for maintenance and preservation, and more. Data collection technology has advanced rapidly over the last decade and many DOTs now use automated data collection systems.

Download or read book Data Integration for Pavement written by Majed Alinizzi and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was in two parts. The first part established and demonstrated a framework for pavement data integration. This is critical for fulfilling QC/QA needs of INDOT¿s pavement management system, because the precision of the physical location references is a prerequisite for the reliable collection and interpretation of pavement data. Such consistency is often jeopardized because the data are collected at different years, and are affected by changes in the vendor, inventory, or referencing system or reference points. This study therefore developed a ¿lining-up¿ methodology to address this issue. The applicability of the developed methodology was demonstrated using 2012-2014 data from Indiana¿s highway network. The results showed that the errors in the unlined up data are significant as they mischaracterize the true pavement condition. This could lead to the reporting of unreliable information of road network condition to the decision makers, ultimately leading to inappropriate condition assessments and prescriptions. Benefits of the methodology reverberate throughout the management functions and processes associated with highway pavements in Indiana, including pavement performance modeling, optimal timing of maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction (MRR), and assessment of the effectiveness of MRR treatments and schedules.The second part of the study developed correlations for the different types of pavement distresses using machine learning algorithms. That way, the severity of any one type of distress can be estimated based on known severity of other distresses at that location. The 2012-2014 data were from I-70, US-41, and US-52, and the distress types considered are cracking, rutting, faulting, and roughness. Models were developed to relate surface roughness (IRI) to pavement cracks, and between the different crack types, with resulting degrees of confidence that varied across the different crack types and road functional classes. In addition, for each functional class and for each crack type, models were built to relate crack depth to crack width. The concept can be applied to other distress types, such as spalling, bleeding, raveling, depression, shoving, stripping, potholes, and joint distresses, when appropriate data are available.

This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 1434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original research on SHM sensors, quantification strategies, system integration and control for a wide range of engineered materials New applications in robotics, machinery, as well as military aircraft, railroads, highways, bridges, pipelines, stadiums, tunnels, space exploration and energy production Continuing a critical book series on structural health monitoring (SHM), this two-volume set (with full-text searchable CD-ROM) offers, as its subtitle implies, a guide to greater integration and control of SHM systems. Specifically, the volumes contain new research that will enable readers to more efficiently link sensor detection, diagnostics/quantification, overall system functionality, and automated, e.g., robotic, control, thus further closing the loop from inherent signal-based damage detection to responsive real-time maintenance and repair. SHM performance is demonstrated in monitoring the behavior of composites, metals, concrete, polymers and selected nanomaterials in a wide array of surroundings, including harsh environments, under extreme (e.g., seismic) loading and in space. New information on smart sensors and network optimization is enhanced by novel statistical and model-based methods for signal processing and data quantification. A special feature of the book is its explanation of emerging control technologies. Research in these volumes was initially presented in September 2013 at the 9th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM), held at Stanford University and sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Army Research Laboratory, and the Office of Naval Research.
