Implication

Randomized trial evaluates pavement condition in data-sparse environments, indicating effective maintenance planning is essential.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the functional performance of asphalt pavements using a probabilistic-deterministic approach in data-limited settings.
  • Utilized two modeling approaches: a Markov chain-based probabilistic model and a deterministic model using exponential regression.
  • Analyzed the international roughness index (IRI) as a condition indicator for assessing pavement performance.
  • Validated models against field observations to check prediction accuracy.
  • Markov chain model effectively represented functional deterioration, providing accurate short-term predictions without historical data.
  • Deterministic model showed IRI predictions with R² values ranging from 0.84 to 0.86.
  • Analysis indicated that pavements transition faster to lower condition states, necessitating early maintenance interventions.
