Investigating life cycle cost analysis to identify a sustainable pavement maintenance and rehabilitation strategy: A case study on Ontario highways

Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) are the most critical and expensive components of infrastructure asset management. Increasing traffic load, climate change, and resource limitations for road maintenance accelerate pavement deterioration and eventually increase the need for future maintenance. Consequently, pavement management programs are becoming increasingly complex. The complexities are attributed to the realistic prediction of …
