Abstract

Road networks are a vital national property however, with the passage of time their condition deteriorates. It is critical for a road agency to know the various factors such as road conditions, traffic conditions, environmental conditions that affect the Road Pavement Deflection values. This paper proposes a data analytic application for assessing the road pavement condition. The data analytics process includes acquisition and integration of data from multiple sources, pre-processing the data and mining the useful information from the data. The generated data mining models are able to demonstrate factors that affect pavement deflection data. Outputs of this research inform the road managers about the road conditions and enable them in formulating an efficient e-government policy for budget and maintenance of this road asset.
