Abstract
In this paper a presentation is made of the state-of-the-art of
pavement performance models used in pavement management
systems (or simply PMS). Pavement performance models are
among the most important components of PMS within which
optimal pavement maintenance plans can be established.
Pavement performance models can be divided into
deterministic and probabilistic, can also be classified into
network or project-level, and can finally be classified as
relative or absolute. Pavement performance models can be
developed using the following techniques: regression
analysis; Bayesian methodology; Markov process;
nonhomogeneous Markov process; and semi-Markov process.
A comparison between a large number of pavement
performance models is made in the final part of the paper.
