Abstract

The pavement distress has considerable influence with drivers. Considering the fact that the forms of asphalt pavement potholes, subsidence and cement pavement potholes (collectively defined as pavement pothole-subsidence) are similar and they can influence traffic flow significantly, we put forward to use indexes such as Tangential Diameter Length, Normal Diameter Length, Depth, Lateral distance, etc to describe the characteristics of pothole-subsidence. According to different wheel paths & speed, driving modes was classified into several types, influences of various pothole-subsidence on driving mode and speed was analyzed.
