Unified Pavement Distress Index for Managing Flexible Pavements
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1992One of the innovative approaches for maintaining and rehabilitating the nation's highways is to develop and implement some form of pavement management system (PMS). This paper documents results of a survey on PMS use in the United States. In addition, a simple method for a PMS based on priority ranking is presented.

Strategies for autonomous robot to inspect pavement distresses
2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010Distress inspection is an important task in pavement maintenance. Pavement inspection requires tremendous human resources, so many investigators start developing automatic and robotic inspection methods to increase the efficiency and accuracy. However, the systems they developed are applicable for network-level inspection (large areas, long-distance ...

An image-based pavement distress detection and classification
2012 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology, 2012This paper presents a pavement segmentation and crack detection system from pavement images with complicated background information. The proposed method consists of three steps. In the first step, a Support Vector Machine, which shows a high degree of accuracy in classifying data, was employed to classify the image into two categories: a pavement group

Pavement Distress Detection Based on Transfer Learning
2018 5th International Conference on Systems and Informatics (ICSAI), 2018With the rapid development of highway construction in China, more and more attention has been paid to highway maintenance. The traditional manual detection and recognition methods cannot meet the needs of highway development, so the research of detection and recognition technology based on road image has become particularly important.

Horizontal Cracking and Pavement Distress in Portland Cement Concrete Pavement
Designing, Constructing, Maintaining, and Financing Today's Airport Projects, 2002This paper describes how severe spalling and half-depth punchout failures associated with horizontal cracks at the mid-depth of the concrete slabs were observed in continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) in Texas. A study was conducted to identify the causes of those horizontal cracks and their effect on pavement distress.

Automatic Pavement‐Distress‐Survey System
Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1990An automatic pavement-distress-survey system that uses laser, video, and image processing techniques has recently been developed. This system consists of a survey vehicle and a data-processing system. The survey vehicle can measure cracking, rutting, and longitudinal profile simultaneously, without contact, rapidly and accurately.

A Framework for Premature Pavement Distress Evaluation
IFCEE 2015, 2015As part of a major rehabilitation program in 2001, several pavement sections of the Arkansas Interstate system was rubblized and overlayed. Recently, some of these sections west of Little Rock on Interstate-40 (I-40) experienced severe distresses (cracking, potholes, and roughness).

Artificial Life for Pavement Distress Survey
Key Engineering Materials, 2005Automatic recognition of road distresses is of considerable interest since it facilitates road maintenance. We propose the use of artificial life for pavement distress survey. All artificial organisms in the artificial life algorithm exhibit the principle of cooperation which can be found in computer virtues and the hunting process of predators ...

Contracting for Pavement Distress Data Collection
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1998Many agencies responsible for managing pavements have adopted pavement management systems (PMS) to help manage their pavement networks more cost-effectively. One of the most costly parts of operating a PMS is collecting condition information, especially pavement distress information.
