Service-life Pavement Performance Simulation: Capturing the Influence of Traffic Flows by Big Data Analysis

An ideal road management system requires a real-time assessment of pavement performance. But there are many root causes of the status quo that the expectation and the system have not been achieved yet. One of them is the monitoring system. In the Netherlands, the measurement is carried out once a year because of the budget and also because it is...

Predictive Modelling of Asphalt Concrete Functional Properties Using Multiple Linear Regression and Gradient Boosting

Despite therelevance of the road infrastructure, the mechanisms governing the mechanicalproperties of asphalt concrete pavements, are currently not sufficientlyunderstood. Many empirical models of different complexity are proposed in theliterature; however, (i) they all have below high (R2 =0.85) predictiveaccuracy; (ii)...
