Abstract

Pavement deterioration can lead to pavement distress, which then causes many problems to the pavement structure as well as to he pavement itself. The continued deterioration of highway pavements has led to recognition of the importance of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) strategy in pavement management. During the maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements, experts’ experiential knowledge plays an important role. This paper introduces an approach which employs an expert system and fuzzy modus ponens deduction technique to automate a pavement management system so as to produce consistent and reliable strategies for maintenance, rehabilitation, and repair of pavement.
