| description | The successful management of road pavement maintenance requires the existence of suitable monitoring procedures for assessing pavement condition. A powerful tool for this is the use of non-destructive testing technologies. Non-destructive testing (NDT) aims to support the monitoring of pavement condition, as it enables constant and rapid collection of in situ data. Analyzing NDT data can result in the development of useful indexes that can be related to trigger values (criteria) to define pavement condition. This information can be used to assess the “health” of the pavement to decide whether intervention is required. However, to effectively support the implementation of pavement management measures, it is sometimes necessary to implement a pavement monitoring and assessment framework that can be adapted by road authorities on a case-by-case basis. To this end, this study addresses the development of a pavement monitoring and assessment procedure by integrating different NDT technologies to collect and evaluate data. The procedure, referred to as Integrated Testing and Evaluation (ITE), is proposed as an algorithm to find optimal strategies for prioritizing potential pavement interventions, considering the budget constraints for the required investigations. |
