The paper addresses a road pavement diagnostics solution created as a sub-module of the S-mileSys platform developed as a part the S-mile project, implemented under the “Sustainable Logistic and Supply Chain” competition of the ERANET Transport III programme. The S-mileSys solution was conceived as a means to support transport companies and their clients in planning, organisation and delivery of freight transport related services, but also to support local authorities and road administration bodies in matters related to road infrastructure maintenance and traffic management within cities or agglomerations. In principle, as typical transfers are made in connection with freight transport, the process of continuous road pavement monitoring and assessment is performed in a manner which does not involve interference of either vehicle drivers or employees of transport companies or logistics centres. The measuring system’s operation is essentially based on identification of values of linear accelerations recorded while vehicles traverse the road network. ICT solutions are used to send characteristics describing the vehicle motion dynamics, determined by the road pavement condition, to the S-mileSys system’s server, where, based on analysis of linear acceleration signals in a three-dimensional description of space and by taking GPS positioning into consideration, the current road pavement condition is estimated.

The assessment of pavement conditions and their evolution with time is a crucial component for the establishment of pavement quality management (QM) plans and the implementation of QM practices. An effective pavement management system (PMS) is based on pavement conditions data continuously collected along the lifetime of a road. These data are used to model the pavement response, evaluate its performances, and trigger the necessary maintenance actions when they do not meet previously defined performance indicators. In the last decades, pavement monitoring via embedded sensing technologies has attracted more and more attention. Indeed, the integration of sensors in the road pavement allows the assessment of the complete history of pavement conditions, starting from sensor installation. Once the technologies are stabilized, collecting this information is expected to help road managers to define more effective asset management plans. This paper first proposes an overview of the most used devices for pavement instrumentation, categorized according to the measured parameters. Then a review of some prominent instrumented sections is presented by focusing on the methodology used for data interpretation.

AbstractOne of the criteria adopted by the Word Bank with the aim of defining the economic level of a country is represented by the condition of the road pavements. To ensure adequate road pavement quality, road authorities should be continuously monitoring and repair the detected anomalies. To fast solve problems associated with poor quality of road surface such as comfort or safety, the presence of distress must be detected quickly. The high-performance pavement distress detection, such as those base on the image processing or on the laser scanning, is very expensive and does not allow to the road administration to conduct the appropriate monitoring campaigns. To solve these problems, the paper describes the pave box methodology, an innovative and immediately operational distress detection approach based on the exploitation of data collected by the black boxes located inside the vehicles that routinely pass on the road network. Data processing and the algorithms used in the post-processing evaluation of the vertical acceleration were compared with existing visual surveys procedures such as PCI. Two different indices have been proposed to detect and classify both the local damages and the global condition of the entire road. Pave box provides a robust evaluation of the pavement condition that allows to detect all the severe distress and not less than 70% of the minor damages on the pavement surface. The proposal is characterized by low time and cost consumption and it represents an effective tool for road authorities.

CREDO RADON UA software provides an automated calculation of the strength of the pavement structures of non-rigid and rigid types, as well as the calculation of the strengthening of existing structures. In the article, one can see the main features and functionality of the CREDO RADON UA software, the main points in the calculations according to the new regulations. Information support of the design process includes necessary databases, informational and helping materials that make up the full support of the pavement design process. The concept of CREDO RADON UA 1.0 software is made on the use of elasticity theory methods in calculations of initial information models of pavements. Performing optimization calculations, the roadwear in CREDO RADON UA is designed in such a way that no unacceptable residual deformation occurs under the influence of short-term dynamic or static loading in the working layer of the earth bed and in the structural layers during the lifetime of the structure. The calculation algorithms were made in accordance with the current regulatory documents of Ukraine. CREDO RADON UA software allows user to create information bases on road construction materials and vehicles as part of the traffic flow for calculations. The presented system of automated modeling makes it easier for the customer to control the quality of design solutions, to reasonably assign designs to layers of reinforcement, to quickly make comparisons of calculations of different designs for the optimal use of allocated funds. Prospects for further improvement of the program should be the results of theoretical and experimental studies on filling the databases, which are used as information support for automated design of road structures. Keywords: CREDO RADON UA, road, computer-aided design, repair project, road pavement, strengthening, construction, rigid pavement, elasticity module, a transport stream, calculation method, information support, dynamic or static loading.
