Development of a unique deterioration index, prioritization methodology, and foreign object damage evaluation models for Canadian airfield pavement management

Modelling of pavement performance deterioration is a critical engineering process in Pavement Management Systems. Most of the existing Airport Pavement Management Systems (APMS) employ limited surface distresses in their performance evaluation models. These systems may not serve the objectives of some agencies. It is essential for an effective APMS to include evaluation models that adequately address the specific needs of the agency. This paper …
