Probabilistic life-cycle performance, design, maintenance, optimization, and decision-making in asphalt pavement

This paper thoroughly reviews the current state of life-cycle research in asphalt pavements.It identifies the primary sources of uncertainty across the pavement life-cycle.Moreover, it emphasizes significant achievements in the research of distress and condition indicators, reliability, risk, life-cycle cost, sustainability, and resilience of asphalt pavements.Probabilistic optimization approaches that account for various pavement life-cycle phases and the latest technology trends and innovations aimed at improving the life-cycle of asphalt pavements are also discussed.
