Abstract
Timely maintenance and rehabilitation are required in order to maintain the road pavement in good condition. Proper evaluation of pavement is required prior to deciding the maintenance and rehabilitation strategies for the road. This paper discussed the process of pavement evaluation and the application of its results for use in the maintenance and rehabilitation of roads. The pavement life-cycle is first explained. The process of pavement evaluation is then explained and data collection for four major performance indicators, that is, visible distress, structural adequacy, surface friction and roughness are discussed, including the various equipment used for the evaluation. Finally, an explanation is made on how the results are analysed and decisions to determine the maintenance and rehabilitation strategies for the road network. It can be concluded that the systematic evaluation of pavement will lead to the optimization of resources used for pavement maintenance and rehabilitation.
