The degree of crack growth in asphalt pavement is an important decision-making factor in road maintenance management. Automatic crack detection is based mainly on digital images; this factor makes effective detection of the degree of crack growth difficult. Infrared thermography was used, and a detection method for the degree of crack growth on the basis of infrared imaging was proposed. Infrared images included gray-level information on cracks and temperature information; the latter provided one additional dimension of information over ordinary images. Temperature information was used to detect the degree of crack growth. Atmospheric temperature was found to be the main factor that affected the temperature difference between a crack and the road surface. This temperature difference varied significantly for different extents of crack growth, and therefore this difference can be used to detect the degree of crack growth. Two classification functions that divided the degree of crack growth into three grades were obtained by classifying data through the use of a support vector machine. A suitable environmental condition for using the detection model was proposed. The experimental results showed that the average model error was 15.4%, which indicated a good application prospect and an improvement in economic benefit for pavement maintenance.

In this paper, the abilities of recovery and regeneration for aged asphalt of a new type of asphalt pavement maintenance agent are studied. The agent is applied in the construction of test section of Yuhe Road, and the pavement performances before and after the construction are compared. The test indicates that after the maintenance agent is added into aged asphalt, the penetration and ductility are effectively improved, the softening point is lowered. When the penetration depth of agent reaches 6 mm,the texture depth , friction coefficient and antiskid value are improved to some extent ,the water permeability coefficient is reduced, and the appearance of pavement is improved as well,The paper provided reference for the applying curing agent of asphalt pavement to the preventive maintenance system.

In asphalt pavement maintenance design the deflection of pavement strength and the drilling core examination of damage on each structure layer are required. This paper based on the advanced technology of the FWD and developed a link with the Benkelman Beam testing. It indicated that assessment of the usage information on each structure layer by using the Modulus Back Calculation was well matched with the core results; therefore, it improved the work efficiency to a new level.
