Abstract Pavement distress can interfere with the vehicle’s maneuver, causing vehicle to reduce its speed and change lane or do an evasive maneuver avoid it. These behaviors could impact traffic conflict significantly. This study aims identify of pavement on specifically when approaching poor conditions. The results show differences in responding for each type vehicle. Motorcycles tend lanes co...

Cold in-place recycling (CIR) has become an attractive method for rehabilitating asphalt roads that have good subgrade support and are suffering distress related to nonstructural aging and cracking of the pavement layer. Although CIR is widely used, its use could be expanded if its performance were more predictable. Transportation officials have observed roads that were recycled under similar c...

Automating pavement maintenance suggestions systems is challenging, especially for actionable recommendations such as patching location, depth, and priority. It a common practice among state agencies to manually inspect road segments of interest decide requirements based on the condition index (PCI). However, standalone PCI only evaluates surface which, coupled with variability in human percept...

Pavement distress data in a single section usually presents long-tailed distribution, with potholes, sealed cracks, and other distresses normally located at the tail. This distribution will seriously affect performance robustness of big data-driven deep learning detection models. Conventional augmentation algorithms only expand amount by image transformation fail to enlarge diversity. Due such ...

Huge quantities of bituminous mix in the form of seal coats and HMAC thin overlays are applied by the TxDOT every year to improve ride quality and seal existing cracks, but these measures do not correct possible underlying weaknesses that will cause roughness or distress to quickly reappear. As a result, the overall pavement condition keeps deteriorating due to the structural deformation of pav...

Reliable and durable asphalt surfacing systems still remain to be desired for the long-spanned orthotropic steel bridges as the nationally and internationally reports on distresses in deck pavement. Based on ten-year research works, this paper has presented a brief review and discussion of the Chinese practices and experiences of deck pavement on long-spanned steel bridges, including issues of ...
