International roughness index prediction based on multigranularity fuzzy time series and particle swarm optimization

The effective prediction of pavement performance trends can help in achieving the cost-effective management of pavements over their service life. The international roughness index (IRI) is a widely used pavement performance index, which can be considered as a time-dependent variable in terms of scientific modeling. This research aims to develop an innovative IRI prediction model based on fuzzy-trend time-series forecasting and particle swarm …
