Rehabilitation project selection and pavement network optimization are integral parts of the Highway Preservation Program of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). In order to assist the decision makers in the selection process, techniques in expert systems were used to simulate the process of initial project selection. In addition, the results from the network optimization system (NOS) are used in preparing budget proposals for the 5-year Highway Preservation Program. The project selection is an interactive process with a constantly monitored budget proposal based on NOS. The initial list of rehabilitation projects was determined through the use of a knowledge development environment, TIRS, from IBM. The design of this knowledge-based expert system (KBES) was illustrated by the use of actual screen shots of the development environment. A basic knowledge base was established that contained the rules and conditions necessary to generate project recommendations through an interactive input process. In order to be able to process batch data for the entire pavement network, a delineation method was used to divide the highways into homogeneous logic sections. The integration of designed KBES with newly improved NOS is being implemented in ADOT in an advanced desktop platform.

The proceedings of the Third International Conference on Managing Pavements is published in three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains additional papers presented at the plenary and workshop sessions.
