Develop Probability Distribution Function to Select Pavement Preventive Maintenance Materials and Methods

Abstract:

Maintenance and protection of road pavements are one of important tasks of highway agencies. Many studies are done about specifying suitable time for pavement preventive maintenance. The probability distribution isn't used in this study, although the significant factor in decision making is relevant to probability function. In present paper, the suitable time between two preventive repairs is determined by Erlangen probability distribution function method. Economical factors are one of important parameters in this method, so, maintenance and repairing process cost, the useful life of maintenance process and the cutting of traffic flow are applied in calculation of suggested method.
