The asphalt pavement experiences deterioration due to traffic and environment. Based on pavement performance prediction model, agency can schedule maintenance, evaluate cost and plan for budget. The model involves data collection, data processing and data analysis. A good model can help reduce the cost of resource allocation including time, money and labor.
Government agencies have benefited from the big data generated by ETC system. Beside monitoring current pavement conidtions, an agency can use the analyzing result to plan the maintenance investment.
