Abstract:

Many studies have used Markov chain method for prediction of pavement deterioration condition, while separating the prediction phase from resource allocation planning process. In this paper, a new model is developed for simultaneous pavement condition prediction and resource allocation optimization based on the Markov chain method. This model accounts for various rehabilitation scenarios that may be used to improve pavement condition while at the same time allocating available resources. Different states of pavement deterioration at network-level correspond to different pavement condition statuses (PCS) that impress different importance for the decision-makers. Each part of the network in each status has different values compared to other statuses. In this research, separate objective functions are developed to determine what proportions of the network fall into each status. This model is suited for strategic network-level resource allocation planning. The proposed model is applied to an example network to illustrate the applicability of the model.
