ABSTRACT

The current study is based on the empirical models of pavement management for advancing the road's planning using predictive maintenance. Pavement management is defined as the planning process to maintain and repair the roadway network and other road facilities for optimization of the conditions of pavement. Predictive maintenance on the other hand is referred to as the technique used to determine the conditions of the equipment to estimate the requirement involved in maintenance. The following study also discusses the challenges and strategies concerning pavement management using predictive maintenance. Challenges are connected to execution process, security and safety, over-maintenance and transmission costs while the strategies utilize the analysis of the historical data, identifying the critical assets, and installing the internet of things sensors. In addition, the relationship between pavement management and predictive maintenance is such that the road's planning and administration require the types of machinery and equipment to accurately manage the road that is highly necessary to maintain the equipment for efficient work. The study thus covers the objectives such as the concept and different types of pavement management, use of predictive maintenance, models of pavement management, challenges regarding developing the road's planning, and strategies for overcoming the challenges. Notably, interpretivism research philosophy and inductive research approach were applied in this study. Interestingly, only the qualitative type of data was used and was collected through secondary data collection; while conducting the thematic analysis as well. The discussion section of the study has found out the results and outcomes which prompt its importance in studying the models so that the proper framework can be used while conducting pavement management using predictive maintenance. Three types of pavement management were discovered which include pavement condition analysis, priority assessment models, and network optimization models. Their advantages are numerous which cannot be limited to detecting any type of anomalies in the operations, identification of every possible defect in the equipment, and maintaining downtime tracking software. More so, three models of pavement management namely; deterministic pavement deterioration model, probabilistic pavement deterioration model, and formulation of the distress indices were focused on in this study.
