The paper considers the importance of the uninterrupted functioning of the transport network, which is the most important condition for eliminating the transport inaccessibility of Arctic territories of the regions, thus excluding transport discrimination of the population living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Besides, the paper provides a brief overview of international road repair and maintenance experience on the example of Norway, analysis of the standard for repair and maintenance of roads in the Russian Federation, proposals on the method of calculating the cash expenditures of replacement, repair and maintenance of roads in the Russian Federation. The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 658 dated May 30, 2017 approved the standards of financial expenditures and the rules for calculating the size of federal budget allocations for replacement, repair and maintenance of federal roads. However, at the moment, not all regions have updated the regulatory framework on the norms of financial expenditures and the rules for calculating budget allocations for replacement, repair and maintenance of regional and inter-municipal roads. The existing methodology for calculating the cost of repair and maintenance of roads in the Arctic territory of Russia does not fully provide the need to bring the existing roads into normal transport and operational condition for their safe operation. The analysis shows that there is no systematic work to ensure sustainable financing of the road economy in the republic and the road industry is financed at a level much lower than the actual needs.

The article is aimed at disclosing the issue of financial support for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of motor roads in the context of implementation of budget decentralization and decentralization of road management. The article specifies the steps taken towards implementation of decentralization in the sphere of road infrastructure of Ukraine and the introduction of budget decentralization: distribution of functions and powers in the road sphere at the subregional level of management and the updated mechanism of financing the road industry. Both the dynamics of formation and distribution of the State Road Fund and the status of distribution of subvention on the streets and roads of settlements are analyzed. The vision of the main risks of financial support for the maintenance of streets and roads of communal property in settlements in 2021 is disclosed. The directions of improvement of the system of financial support for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of motor roads are proposed, including in particular: the need to deepen diversification of sources of formation of the State Road Fund; consolidation of the proper guaranteed part of the State Road Fund’s costs for the maintenance of streets and roads of communal property in settlements; balancing the expenditure load and financial support for the implementation of road projects; increasing the level of transparency of decision-making in the distribution of financial resources intended for the construction, reconstruction, major, ongoing repair of motor roads.

Full textAbstract:
Government infrastructure development is growing rapidly, starting from the central and provincial levels. One of the infrastructures currently being pushed by the government is road infrastructure. Both toll roads, regional roads, and district/city roads. Road infrastructure that has been built requires maintenance and repair. Road damage maintenance and repair in urban districts, especially Madiun Regency, Existing Road damage data is still recorded manually using paper, where the government needs help knowing data on road damage that has been recorded, which road conditions have not been repaired, and which have been fixed immediately. Because manual data is prone to wear and loss, tucked in with other manual files. So, the road improvement priority in Madiun Regency still needs to be put on target. For this reason, an information system is required to record the damage to road infrastructure in Madiun Regency. This information system was built using the web development life cycle (WDLC) method. We chose this method because it can be used in all web application development processes and can be modified or added to prototyping and looping to maximize results. The information system for road damage in Madiun Regency was developed using the PHP & MySQL programming languages. The result of this study is a road damage information system that contains updated data on road damage conditions in the Madiun district. Apart from being paperless, digitized data has the advantage of minimal damage and expected data loss and can help decision-makers prioritize repairs by looking at the data in the road damage information system.

Full textAbstract:
In recent times road infrastructures mean bridges and when the matter comes to repair and maintenance for any roads the main attraction is always bridges and pavements. The culverts are always neglected or least valued in terms of repair and maintenance. Culverts are mostly used for cross drainage on highways and railways. As the culverts are not considered a primary priority for maintenance the degradation of culverts causes major concern for road infrastructure safety. As the culverts are an essential part of road infrastructures it becomes important to survey each culvert regularly. Thus, this research focuses on accessing culverts of selected roads of Madhya Pradesh (India) and creating or providing a proper inventory and condition rating system or formats to note down and access the condition of each culvert. This assessment or system will help in maintenance planning and enhance the culverts’ life span. This assessment system will help in an efficient culvert management plan.

International Journal of Engineering and Technology Innovation 14, no. 3 (May 16, 2024): 254–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.46604/ijeti.2024.13334.
Full textAbstract:
This study delves into quantifying the adverse effects of road damage on users, particularly focusing on the increased travel time and consequent financial burdens stemming from delayed repairs. Utilizing a comparative method, the research underscores notable reductions in speed and prolonged travel times due to damaged roads, leading to substantial economic losses for road users. To streamline the estimation of road user costs (RUC), the study proposes a simulation model that incorporates varying traffic volumes and repair delays. This model demonstrates a high level of accuracy in estimating RUC, revealing heightened sensitivity to fluctuations in traffic volume and repair delays compared to agency costs. Consequently, the research underscores the imperative of implementing effective repair strategies to alleviate these impacts efficiently, thereby emphasizing the significance of timely infrastructure maintenance in mitigating financial burdens on road users.

Full textAbstract:
The maintenance of critical infrastructure is a costly necessity that developing countries often struggle to deliver timely repairs. The transport system acts as the arteries of any economy in development, and the formation of potholes on roads can lead to injuries and the loss of lives. Recently, several countries have enabled pothole reporting platforms for their citizens, so that repair work data can be centralised and visible for everyone. Nevertheless, many of these platforms have been interrupted because of the rapid growth of requests made by users. Not only have these platforms failed to filter duplicate or fake reports, but they have also failed to classify their severity, albeit that this information would be key in prioritising repair work and improving the safety of roads. In this work, we aimed to develop a prioritisation system that combines deep learning models and traditional computer vision techniques to automate the analysis of road irregularities reported by citizens. The system consists of three main components. First, we propose a processing pipeline that segments road sections of repair requests with a UNet-based model that integrates a pretrained Resnet34 as the encoder. Second, we assessed the performance of two object detection architectures—EfficientDet and YOLOv5—in the task of road damage localisation and classification. Two public datasets, the Indian Driving Dataset (IDD) and the Road Damage Detection Dataset (RDD2020), were preprocessed and augmented to train and evaluate our segmentation and damage detection models. Third, we applied feature extraction and feature matching to find possible duplicated reports. The combination of these three approaches allowed us to cluster reports according to their location and severity using clustering techniques. The results showed that this approach is a promising direction for authorities to leverage limited road maintenance resources in an impactful and effective way.

Full textAbstract:
AC-WC asphalt layer is a surface layer of flexible pavement construction that bears a direct load from the vehicle wheels. The increase in the number and load of traffic that occurs every year impacts road conditions and can cause damage. This requires analysis, repair and maintenance of roads for roads to function properly. The purpose of this study was to analyze road damage and provide alternative treatments for each road based on the type and level of damage that occurs. The method used was literature study, observation, documentation, and analysis with the PCI method. Observations were made on roads with class III flexible pavement in South Surabaya City. The results obtained were that the most dominant type of damage was crack damage, the level of road damage varies (low, medium, high severity) and there were different types of damage at the same point. The highest percentage and value of the damage were on Kembang Kuning Road and Pakis Tirtosari III Road. Based on the PCI method, the condition value of Dukuh Kupang XX Road was the lowest, at 25 (very poor). On Kembang Kuning Road and Pakis Tirtosari III Road maintenance work was needed, while Dukuh Kupang Road required road repairs.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1980s, many Finnish low-volume gravel roads were paved. This option was reasonable at that time because the price of bitumen was exceptionally low. No heavy structural rehabilitation was carried out on these roads before paving. It was assumed that these cheap and light pavements would last some 5 years. Now many of those roads have reached 10 to 15 years in age, still without any proper reconstruction, and are becoming increasingly deteriorated. For almost a decade now, the Finnish government has been reducing its spending on public roads. Maintenance and repair efforts have been concentrated on the main road network, and the minor network has deteriorated more and more. Calculations show that from the road agency’s point of view, upkeep of gravel roads is economically feasible compared with maintaining paved roads that are in poor condition. Therefore, road authorities have converted some of these paved low-volume roads back to gravel roads. In 2001, the Häme, Turku, and Uusimaa road districts agreed on common principles for these actions. Furthermore, they described minimum requirements for each case in which a paved road in poor condition was turned into a gravel road. Public opposition and political resistance were quite strong before these actions, since the gravel roads are seen as a decline of service level. People living along the road, however, generally admit that new gravel roads are more comfortable to drive on throughout the year than old deteriorated pavements. The road agency still has to focus on problems such as dust.

Full textAbstract:
Tarakan City has several road segments on provincial roads that have experienced significant damage in the form of sinkholes and substantial potholes on the road surface. These deteriorations are primarily attributed to the impact of traffic, excessive traffic loads, subgrade soil conditions that fall short of requirements, and the use of pavement materials that do not meet the specified standards. To devise effective road repair plans, the collection of field data is crucial. Two distinct methods are employed for data collection to assess pavement conditions: the International Roughness Index (IRI) and the Surface Distress Index (SDI). The IRI method measures road roughness using the Rough meter III instrument, while the SDI method focuses on parameters like crack area, crack width, pothole count, and wheel path rut depth. The surveyed road sections encompass Amal Lama, Gunung Selatan, Aji Iskandar, Bhayangkara, Aki Pingka, and the Ring Road of Tarakan City. Research findings reveal the surface damage level of roads in Tarakan City using the SDI and IRI methods, with the following breakdown: roads in good condition account for 42.86%, those in moderate condition make up 51.90%, slightly damaged roads constitute 4.8%, and heavily damaged roads represent 0.44%. Additionally, the study has determined the percentage of each type of maintenance required: Routine Maintenance at 94.77%, Periodic Maintenance at 4.8%, and Reconstruction at 0.44%.

Road conditions in Indonesia specifically in the city of Semarang are more often damaged during the rainy season. If needed it will not be repaired users can increase fuel usage and vehicle maintenance until it passes through traffic safety. One of the solutions to these problems is to provide up-to-date information on the surface of the road so that the department can repair roads quickly. This study discusses the grouping of road data using the k-medoids method. Road condition data collection uses an accelerometer sensor that supports data according to mobile devices. From the data used, the number of 638 data was successfully grouped into 3 clusters which could indicate the level of frequency of roads that were good, lightly damaged and heavily damaged

Safety of road network is an essential part of economic and social development of any industrialized country. Decisions to maintain and improve the reliability, functionality and infrastructure structures can only be achieved through integrated planning and management life cycle routes. Always it has been a tendency to revise road maintenance strategies, but there is still a serious and reliable administration not only because of the shortage of funds, but also problems due to the reorganization of the system. Safety and performance of the road system depends on the continuous activity of road maintenance management. For it to be effective, it is necessary to intervene before depreciation has caused irreparable damages, or damages with a high economic cost of repairs. Investment in road infrastructure during 2006-2014 show that the life of these projects presents problems with maintenance and performance management life cycle in a wide range of component elements. Maintenance planning involves various problems that depend on the degree of degradation of the asphalt layers, the degree of deterioration of road structures (roads, tunnels, culverts, and economic planning of resources to repair them. The aim of this study is the first to provide a brief summary of the issues in the field of maintenance and management of the life cycle of investments in road infrastructure, proposing ways to reorganize the sector of management and maintenance of roads in the next and second testing and evaluation of the work and the nature of the standards are different types of road infrastructure projects, through a methodology consisting of a) development, b) collection of data, and c) analysis.

ntroduction. The new approach to determining the cost of road works and services is adapted to international standards of costs formation in the road sector, and the changes provided by the pricing system will be implemented by all participants of the road sector. Problem Statement. The necessary conditions for new construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of public roads financed from the budget are to ensure that their cost is determined in accordance with the principles of market pricing and using free prices, timely and correct settlements, as well as meeting all deadlines and high-quality road works and services. That is why the pricing model, taking into account its peculiarities, needed to be improved and brought in line with modern European norms and standards. At the same time, the approach to determining the cost of future investment projects for new construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of public roads should be based on uniform rules and methods that are formed taking into account state, territorial, public and private interests.

Introduction. Many tasks in the field of operation of road machines in modern conditions have become irrelevant from a scientific point of view. This is due to the emergence of new regulatory documents that contribute to the solution of many problems, for example, the tasks of forming fleets of road machines for road maintenance. In addition, the active implementation of CALS-technologies; modern monitoring systems for road machines; the commitment to automate and robotic work processes; change in the volume and pace of road construction; increasing requirements for the quality of work performed; extension of the warranty period of road service; the existence of mega road organizations; the absence to date of generally accepted criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of one form or another of organizing maintenance and repair work (unscheduled repairs) of road machines; active development of a network of toll roads, etc. they require a radical review and systematization of issues related to the formulation of scientific problems in the study of the life cycle system of road vehicles in modern conditions.Materials and methods. The well-known methods of mathematical, factor analysis and expert estimates of parameters were used that determine the main differences that affect mainly on the rational operation of road machines. 218.2.018-2012 ‘Methodological recommendations for determining the necessary fleet of road maintenance equipment for the maintenance of roads in the development of road maintenance projects’ industry road methodology (IRM) contributes to the integrated solution of the main tasks of forming parks with vehicles for road maintenance. Today, the ERA-GLONASS system and similar systems are actively used in all areas of the road economy and allow tracking the position and other technical parameters of road machines over a long period of time. In addition, automation and robotization of production processes are actively used.Results. The factor analysis and the method of expert assessments made it possible to identify the main differences between the modern life cycle system of road machines used for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of highways than a similar life cycle system of road machines 10-20 years ago. Some features have been identified in the study of the life cycle system of road machines in modern conditions. The main tasks of modern research on the road machines life cycle system are outlined. It has been established that the basis of the industry road guidance documents that have been published at present, as well as those preparing to be published in the nearest future, are largely based on the scientific research conducted 10-20 years ago by Russian scientists. The current industry documents are advisory in modern conditions, which is not always applicable to specific construction objects and sets of road machines, and the installation of tracking systems on road machines only contributes to the scientific research.Discussion and conclusions. In the course of the study, a vector was determined for the further development of such a scientific direction as the study of the life cycle system of the road machines in modern conditions. Some ways are proposed for solving scientific problems, taking into account the modern features of the road machines operations for the construction, reconstruction, repair and maintenance of roads, which allows scientists, especially the young ones, to more accurately and correctly formulate their scientific problems when setting them at the beginning of the research in this area.

Full textAbstract:
Climate variability is a global phenomenon that is posing a threat to the infrastructure and agricultural sector. Intense precipitation often results in the deterioration of rural road infrastructure resulting in inaccessibility. Rainfall and temperature data from 1989 to 2019 was obtained from Kenya Meteorological Department. Data on Greenleaf and cost of repairs and maintenances are from selected tea factories managed by Kenya Tea Development Agency. Data on perception is based on a questionnaire survey of 398 randomly selected tea farmers. Results show that climate variability is experienced in Kericho (p < 0.005). There is a varsity variation in mean maximum temperatures F(0.05, 29) ꞊ 5.564 (p ꞊ 0.009) and mean minimum temperature F(29) =8.503 (p ꞊ 0.000). However, the linear regression analysis shows that rainfall has decreased (y ꞊ 2.5476x - 40.778) while the temperature has increased (y ꞊ 0.028x - 0.4473). There is a significant positive correlation between the amount of rainfall and cost of repairs and maintenances for five factories (r ꞊ 0.122, r = 0.046, r = 0.029, r = 0.255) except one (r = -.261, p ꞊ .466). Therefore, the climate has significantly varied from 1989-2019 and heavy rains occur periodically that damage rural tea roads, thus impacting negatively on tea transportation. There is a need, therefore, for heavy investment of emergency funds for repair and maintenance of rural tea roads based on rainfall variability and heavy rain return period pattern.

Accidents owing to potholes have become an alarming problem in today‘s life. The first step to solve this problem requires, designing a device embedded in the vehicle which can continuously scan the road surface for identifying potholes, alerting the driver in time, and enable the driver to avoid the pothole. The importance of the road infrastructure for society could be compared with the importance of blood vessels for humans. The major problems in developing countries are the maintenance of roads. To ensure road surface quality it should be monitored continuously and repaired as necessary. The optimal distribution of resources for road repairs is possible providing the availability of comprehensive and objective real-time data about the state of the roads. The data in the system can be made available to the general public as well as municipalities and road maintenance agencies. Awareness of the location of potholes will help drivers to avoid those roads and being more careful while driving on the same roads. The paper is describing a custom map system for road irregularity detection using Android-based smartphones. IdentificationofpavementIdentificationofpavement only helps drivers to avoid accidents or vehicle damages but also helps authorities to maintain roads.

Full textAbstract:
Roads in Finland are exposed to seasonal strength variation. Because of industrial policy, the maximum weight of heavy trucks is 60 metric tons all year. The policies applied by the Finnish National Road Administration (Finnra) to mitigate the effects of seasonal road strength variations on public roads, and the current research on the topic in Finland, are investigated. It has been estimated that the annual cost of road repairs because of spring damages is about $10 million under the present load restriction policy. The costs for road repairs would be $35 million without restrictions. The annual additional cost for all heavy transport is estimated at $15 million. An internal Finnra survey revealed that $80 million to $100 million is needed to repair all known frost-susceptible road sections. Finnra load restrictions are intended to prevent damage to roads by heavy vehicles during spring thaw. The restrictions will reduce and possibly eliminate increases in annual road maintenance costs. On the other hand, the restrictions will allow a minimum standard for vital transport. Finnra’s Road Structures Research Programme (TPPT) studies improvements in the durability, strength, and economy of road structures. A key part of the TPPT project concerns problems associated with frost, especially durability against frost action. The most important factors of frost action on roads are the freezing index, duration of frost and thaw seasons, surface temperature, and ground water level. Methods for testing and calculating frost effects are discussed, as are the questions that must be answered before more precise models can be published.

Full textAbstract:
Total length of paved road in Rajshahi City is about 186.64 km (2011 census). It shows that about 23% of total road lengths are present in failure condition. This study shows an investigation to compute the flexible pavement’s failure types, to define and identify the causes, and select the best maintenance for that failures of flexible pavement within Rajshahi City. There are many types of failures occur on the roads such as different types of cracks, potholes, raveling, water bleeding, corrugation and shoving, depression, and rutting. The possible causes of flexible pavement failures are improper bituminous mixes with poor quality of materials, heavy traffic loads, heavy rainfall, and bad drainage on pavement. The failures are gradually raised due to lack of proper planning, inspection, and treatment. These failures create different types of disadvantages like traffic jam, discomfort to the passengers as well as drivers, increasing vehicle operating, maintenance cost, etc. This study proves that the authorities practice maintenance procedures to repair the failures of pavement which are about 60% similar to the conventional road maintenance procedures. The authorities as Roads and Highway Department and Rajshahi City Corporation are suggested to do maintenance according to the requirements of urgent maintenance and availability of fund which is found in this investigation.

The current conditions of Russian territories road infrastructure, regional budgetary funding, differences in economic potential and the economy structure of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation determine the relevance of the development and improvement of the regional regulatory base. This is important in the field of tariff policy, one of the elements of which is the approval of basic standards and rules for calculating the amount of budgetary funds for capital repairs, repairs and maintenance of regional road network. This article is devoted to the study of the regional practice that has developed in the Russian Federation for the establishment of standard costs for capital repairs, repairs and maintenance of regional and intermunicipal roads in comparison with federal ones. The work consists of two logically related structural elements: an overview and an analytical part. The review revealed the differentiation of the size of budgetary allocations in the context of subjects and federal districts. In the analytical part, an attempt is made to determine the closeness between federal and regional standards and, as a result, to identify the range of regions that practice linking regional standards to federal ones.

Full textAbstract:
The empirical analysis of the distribution of risk related to the repair or replacement of road safety devices in existing performance-based maintenance contracts and the analysis of claims adjustment procedures indicate a certain imbalance in risk distribution between the road administrator and the entrepreneurs who have concluded road maintenance contracts, in particular performance based contracts. Relevant legal rules allow for a different, fairer distribution of the risk of suffering repair costs in certain damage scenarios. Insurance policy with a wide coverage of both property and liability risks appears as an optimal way of managing risks of losses to road infrastructure. Both contracting parties have an interest in obtaining first party insurance in the discussed field, although in practice it can be economical only to the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA). The law provides parties who suffered loss with a direct action against a traffic liability insurer of the wrongdoer who caused the damage.

This paper raises problem issues of technical conditions of the roads in the Republic in connection with the address of Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, the President of the country to the people of Kazakhstan.The main problem is poor condition of roads infrastructure resulting in a high level of accidents on dual highways. The second problem is slow rate of roads’ construction and reconstruction according to outdated designing methods and traditional construction technologies for a short operating time of not more than 15-20 years that does not comply with worldwide standards of repair-free service life of roads of 50 years and more. Motorization of the country and freight traffic increases by 25-40% annually, the road load increased 2-3 times resulting in intensive destruction of outdated roads pavements. In connection with this the volume of repairs with respect to costs exceeds more than 50% of total road industry financing. The third problem is a high cost of roads construction. Cost plus technologies are still being widely applied in Kazakhstan. At the same time industrial waste discharge of Kazakhstan’s enterprises accumulated more than 45 billion tons of anthropogenic wastes including petroleum and bitumen containing anthropogenic materials with the application of which innovative resource-saving and power-saving nanotechnologies and nanostructured long-life materials were developed. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the cost of construction and expenses for road maintenance by 2-3 times within 50 years. In addition, to accelerate construction and repairs of 1-2 category roads by 2-3- times, while 3-4 category by 5-6 times. The scientific and technical program headed by national Engineering Academy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2021-2023 “To develop and implement efficient technologies of cast-insitu construction of road-transport structures according to world standards with a complex recycling of industrial anthropogenic wastes and recoverable resources” is developed for wide application of nanotechnologies and nanostructured materials in roads construction.

The provincial roads maintenance and repair are often constrained by limited budgets, so that the road management priority is generally determined by policy factors, which often cause roads treatment disparity. The purpose of this study was to determine the criteria and sub-criteria, the weights of criteria and sub-criteria, as well as develop a mathematical equation in order to determine to roads handling priority in the area of Purwakarta, West Java. The Delphi and Cut Off Point methods were applied to determine the criteria, which result in three criteria selected i.e. road condition, traffic volume and economic factors respectively. Afterward, the Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to determine the weighting factors for the criteria and sub-criteria. The results for the criteria weights were as follows: the roads conditions had a weighting factor of 67.7%, the traffic volume of 18.3% and the economy of 13.0%. Based on the criteria and sub-criteria weight, a mathematical equation was developed to define the handling priority of roads in Purwakarta.

The emergence of social media has ushered in a new era of information dissemination which allows everybody the opportunity to participate and contribute opinions and views on public issues. Social media is Internet-based software and interfaces that allow individuals to interact with one another, exchange details about their lives such as biographical data, professional information, personal photos and up-to the minute thoughts. Just as the conventional traditional media like newspaper, radio and television are used to communicate development issues, social media has also become a tool for development communication. This study investigated role of social media in enhancing the development of road infrastructure in South East Nigeria. The study employed critical literature review method. It was anchored on Development Media Theory. Two research questions guided the investigation. Findings show that social media reportage makes the government aware of the state of roads in South East Nigeria, this makes the government to intervene in the repair of bad roads in South East Nigeria. The paper recommends that users of social media should intensify reports on the state of bad roads in South East Nigeria in order to draw more government attention; social media users should balance their reports of bad roads and good roads to encourage the government to do more.

An analysis is made of the current regulatory framework in the Russian Federation for assessing the level of maintenance of highways. It shows the incorrectness of the current approach, which does not take into account the systemic interaction of factors for assessing the level of content. The results of such an assessment do not allow planning and organizing work on the maintenance and repair of the road with sufficient accuracy. Proposals are made to improve the current regulatory framework. The main advantages of the proposed methodology are the objectivity of the assessment and the possibility of identifying road sections that require maintenance and repair work, primarily on the basis of a multivariate analysis that takes into account the relationship and interdependence of factors.

The socio-economic development of a country and its integration into the global community largely depend on the level of road maintenance. The issue of road maintenance has become especially relevant and important during the period of martial law, since, for obvious reasons, roads are critical infrastructure facilities. Of course, the treatment of such facilities should be appropriate to their purpose. All of this requires research, assessment of the effects of the war on the condition of roads due to their destruction, and development of measures to improve the state of road construction. An important role is assigned to the resource base of road construction - first of all, the availability of bitumen and mineral fillers.
The length of public roads in Ukraine is analyzed in comparison with the leading countries of the world. Positive trends in the market of road construction and repair related to the reform of the road sector are identified. The quality of roads and their saturation in comparison with other countries of the world is assessed.
The problematic issues of domestic production and imports of bitumen are investigated. The article shows Ukraine's import dependence and lack of organic binder, as well as the practical absence of concrete road construction. The author analyzes the development and improvement of the regulatory framework for the design and construction of roads.
Prospects for the implementation of the public-private partnership mechanism are shown, taking into account international experience The necessity of implementing the public-private partnership mechanism, in particular, through the concession mechanism, is substantiated.

Full textAbstract:
Performance-based contracts (PBC) have been adopted increasingly in various countries. However, establishing an objective and convincing benefit evaluation framework to facilitate promotion remains a significant challenge for those who wish to use PBCs. A recent study introduced PBC in the context of daily inspection and repair of urban roads. The pilot program in that study successfully addressed the needs of road users, road maintenance authorities, and contractors. Consequently, this study develops the benefit evaluation framework for this type of PBC for broader applications. The proposed benefit evaluation framework, consisting of one qualitative and eight quantitative performanceevaluation items, calculates the effectiveness of introducing PBC to verify its practicality. The validation results show that qualitative benefit evaluation using the Pavement Condition Index achieves a “satisfactory” rating. For the quantitative benefit evaluation, an overall benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 5.35 suggests that it is economically viable. The developed benefit evaluation framework can be used as a simple and easy-to-use evaluation tool for other organizations to assess whether to introduce PBC. This study fills this research gap by addressing the use of PBCs in the maintenance of all categories of toll-free roads, and contributes to expanding the application of PBCs in road maintenance services.

Abstract: A pavement or a road which is smooth, free of any potholes and cracks, easy to maintain and very quick to repair is the most ideal type of a road. But, with the construction of bitumen or concrete roads we don't see that happening, the present roads which are generally constructed using bitumen or concrete has shown many defects in them like cracks, potholes during every rainy season, frequency and difficulty in maintenance, and very difficult to repair them in quick time. So to overcome this situation every year, this project aims at constructing a pavement or a road which is jointless which will minimize lots of defects, minimize potholes, a road which does not require frequent repairs and which is easy to maintain. All the above remedies could be possible if we blend bitumen and concrete together to concrete a road. This project aims at checking the feasibility (to what extent it can be done) of constructing this mix road which is a blend between bitumen and concrete by testing its various parameters. For creating a strong bond between bitumen and concrete, various materials, combination of materials and their different proportions were used. After experimenting and several trials and error methods later, a strong bond between bitumen and concrete was created by using combination of materials and their different proportions. The strength to withstand the load of vehicles was achieved after adding different admixtures into it. Once, the fundamental parameters were fulfilled, it was time to perform different tests on its specimen. The results of tests like flexural, split tensile, compressive and water penetration were all satisfactory. Thus, feasibility check for constructing this mix road was successful.

Full textAbstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been used more often over the past decade than before in new construction as well as in repair of deteriorated bridges. Many of these bridges are on low-volume roads, where they receive very little attention. It is imperative that new bridge construction or repair be long lasting, nearly maintenance free, and as economical as possible. Relative to those factors, FRP composite bridges have been found to be structurally adequate and feasible because of their reduced maintenance cost and limited environmental impact (i.e., no harmful chemicals leaching into the atmosphere with longer service life). In West Virginia, 23 FRP composite bridges have been constructed, among which 18 are built on low-volume roads that have an average daily traffic (ADT) of less than 1,000, including 7 with ADT less than 400. General FRP composite bridge geometry and preliminary field responses are presented as are some of the preliminary construction specifications and cost data of FRP composite bridges built on low-volume roads in West Virginia

Maintenance has a major impact on the financial plan of road managers. To ameliorate road conditions and reduce safety constraints, distress evaluation methods should be efficient and should avoid being time consuming. That is why road cadastral catalogs should be updated periodically, and interventions should be provided for specific management plans. This paper focuses on the setting of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) for road pavement distress monitoring, and the Rover for bituminOus pAvement Distress Survey (ROADS) prototype is presented in this paper. ROADS has a multisensory platform fixed on it that is able to collect different parameters. Navigation and environment sensors support a two-image acquisition system which is composed of a high-resolution digital camera and a multispectral imaging sensor. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the Image Distress Quantity (IDQ) are, respectively, calculated by field activities and image computation. The model used to calculate the IROADS index from PCI had an accuracy of 74.2%. Such results show that the retrieval of PCI from image-based approach is achievable and values can be categorized as “Good”/“Preventive Maintenance”, “Fair”/“Rehabilitation”, “Poor”/“Reconstruction”, which are ranges of the custom PCI ranting scale and represents a typical repair strategy.

The development of transportation infrastructure is crucial for a country's progress as it enables access to social and economic amenities and acts as a vital link between production and consumption. This is particularly significant for landlocked nations like Zambia, which heavily rely on a wide network of public highways, including both paved and unsurfaced roads. Regardless of their quality and construction, all road surfaces degrade over time due to the combined effects of traffic load and environmental factors. If not properly managed, this can lead to costly repairs and rehabilitation efforts. Government organizations face a dilemma when deciding which public roads to prioritize for maintenance. This follows that the inherent hurdle is competing needs within limited finances for infrastructure development. However, the challenge of road maintenance prioritization can be addressed by adopting a multi-criteria approach. This study aims to address the issue of sustainability and provides insights into which public roads should be given priority for maintenance. The research proposes a comprehensive set of criteria focusing on sustainability and assigns relative importance to them, with emphasis on state of deterioration, emergency function, climate resilience, environment, strategic importance, social considerations, economic factors, and political importance. It suggests that road maintenance decision-making should prioritize sustainability, resilience, and societal well-being, challenging traditional assumptions.

The reduction of the current road repair costs is possible to be ensured by reducing its labour intensity and increasing interrepair periods. To achieve these goals, it is proposed to create a system of the road planned preventive maintenance (RPPM) based on the automated road stress-strain state diagnostics with constant measurement of the surface deformation by using the GLONASS and GPS navigation satellite systems operating in real time mode. The RPPM system will be based on the Global Navigation Network of permanently operating base stations, which allow to continuously monitor the dynamics of changes in the stress-strain state of roads and effectively plan any repair works thereupon. A preliminary economic analysis showed that by using of permanent geonavigation base stations the road repair costs will be annually reduced by 18.57% for the first five years, and then by half in the following two years. In this case, the payback period will be 5.4 years. In order to adapt the existing geo-navigation control systems of road building machines to the Solution of the problem of road repairing it is necessary to make an appropriate experimental and design engineering development. The use of satellite measurements in the diagnosis of road conditions is the basis of the system of preventive maintenance in the road sector and the stage of development of the domestic intelligent transport system.

Full textAbstract:
The magnitude of failure/damages for several Nigerian roadways has prompted several scholars/analysts to look into the causes of these failures. In this paper, the underlying factors for roadway degradation on Nigerian highways are examined, along with potential solutions. An essential infrastructure in any settlement is recognised as the roadway. Solid pathways make it easier to move people and things around, which boosts the economy. High accident rates, longer travel times, higher costs for vehicle maintenance, and high crime rates are just a few consequences of road failure that have been observed. Geology plays a significant role in the construction of roads because they are built on geologic earth materials and are significantly influenced by them. The main reasons why Nigerian roads fail are further identified in this paper as insufficient preliminary geological investigation, poor road design and construction, poor monitoring and quality workmanship, inadequate routine and regular maintenance, poor drainage, employing poor and low-quality materials, traffic congestion, overuse, incorrect use, and inadequate punishment for roadways failures. The majority of experts agree that Nigeria's road failure rate has recently grown despite the lack of concrete statistics. The solutions suggested include providing acceptable and adequate designs, oversight and quality control, clearing traffic on Nigerian roadways, prompt repair of such roads, constructing highway facilities, deploying skilled staff, and supportive government policies.

Full textAbstract:
Drilling activity produces a significant amount of road traffic through unpaved and paved local roads. Because oil production is an important contributor to the local economy in the state of North Dakota, the state and local transportation agencies make efforts to support local energy logistics through the expansion and good repair and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. As part of this effort, it is important to build new roads and bridges, maintain existing road pavement and non-marked road surface conditions, and improve bridge and other transportation infrastructure. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to review previous oil location prediction models and propose a novel geospatial model to predict drilling locations which have a significant impact on local roads, to verify and provide a better prediction model. Then, this study proposes a SIR (susceptible–infected–recovered) epidemic model to predict oil drilling locations which are traffic generators. The simulation has been done on the historical data from 1980 to 2015. The study found that the best fit parameters of β (contact rate) and μ (recovery rate) were estimated by using a dataset of historical oil wells. The study found that the SIR epidemic model can be applied to predict the locations of oil wells. The proposed model can be used to predict other drilling locations and can assist with traffic, road conditions, and other related issues, which is a much needed predictive model that is key in transportation planning and pavement design and maintenance.

Full textAbstract:
Road safety management begins with a detailed analysis of accidents, which is reflected in Article 24 of the Law of Ukraine “On Road Traffic” which states that when performing repairs and maintenance of roads, streets and railway crossings road maintenance organizations in the first place should take measures for road safety on the basis of accounting and analysis of road accidents, results of inspections and surveys of roads, streets and railway crossings, and especially in emergency and dangerous areas and in places of concentration of road accidents. The problem of reducing the accident rate and reducing the number of victims of road accidents during the maintenance of roads has so far been solved mainly by identifying areas (places) of concentration of accidents with the development of measures to improve road conditions and improve the organization of traffic on them and conducting annual commission spring and autumn inspections of the road network by representatives of road organizations and the police. However, the areas of concentration of road accidents were not fully covered on the road network of local significance due to the lack of accurate reference of the places of accident in the accident registration cards, as well as they were not identified on the streets and roads of cities and other settlements due to the absence of any criteria for their identification and therefore the maximum efficiency from introduction of management of sites (places) of concentration of road accident isn’t reached. The article analyzes the criteria for determining the areas of concentration of accidents on public roads in different periods, examines the dynamics of the number of areas of concentration of accidents and considers other modern opportunities for effective traffic safety management, in particular, inspection (inspection) of existing roads.

Full textAbstract:
Forest roads are the key infrastructures that provide access to forest areas for sustainable management, protection, and utilization of forest resources. In order to benefit from the important functions of forest roads, they should be built in with adequate technical road standards. The road network with low technical standards require more frequent major repairs to ensure continues access to forest resources. In addition, only small trucks with low load capacity can move on the low standard roads. Furthermore, the low road standards limit the truck speed that increases vehicle travel time. These negative effects increase the transportation costs which are an important part of the timber production costs in Turkey. Thus, improving the road standards and developing forest transportation planning should be evaluated together in the most appropriate way. Large logging trucks with high load capacity are generally preferred for efficient transportation of wood-based forest products. In Turkey, large logging trucks, however, cannot operate on the most of the forest roads because insufficient technical road standards (road width, curve radius, surface materials, road structures) limit the maneuverability of large logging trucks. In this study, the objective is to determine the effects of improving forest road standards on total net profit of forest products by using the NETWORK 2000 program, a heuristic approach for solving forest transportation problems. Three Forest Enterprise Chiefs (FECs) located in Mustafakemalpaşa Forest Enterprise Directorate (FED) in Bursa Forest Regional Directorate were selected as the study area. The digital data layers for forest road network was generated by using ArcGIS 10.4 software. In the solution process, firstly, the optimum routes that minimize the transportation cost and maximize the total net profit of forest products on existing forest road networks were investigated for a truck type (15 ton) currently used in the region. In the second case, forest transportation was planned for the high load capacity truck (29 ton) moving on the forest roads with improved standards. In the first case, the transportation costs and annual major repair costs were considered in the calculation of the net profit of forest products, while one time cost of road improvement activities (i.e. road improvement construction, road structure installation, road surface construction) and annual maintenance costs were considered along with transportation costs in the second case. In both cases, the costs of other forest operations (i.e. felling, logging, etc.) were not considered since it was assumed that they do not vary with the forest transportation alternatives. As a result of the transportation plan developed for high load capacity truck, the annual transportation cost decreased by 46.85% comparing to the local logging trucks with low load capacity. Using improved road standards, the total road costs computed for the time period of 30 years (i.e. the average expected life cycle of forest roads) were reduced by 4.64%. The total net profit of forest products transported by using a high load capacity truck was 473,340 Euro more than that of using low load capacity truck on the existing forest road network. Thus, improving road standards might result in some additional costs in the road construction stage, but total net profit of forest products increase since transportation costs along with maintenance and repair costs considerably decrease in the long term.

The function of Primary arterial street is to serve as road users to connect to the national activity center and for regional activity, which is long-distance travel. On that road, there are so many roads damaged, damaged due to heavy vehicle loads and some high frequencies. The study aims to identify the type of damage and to help in how the maintenance management of this street through system will be managed and systematically stored in the form of databases. The research used Bina Marga methods, assessments of road conditions refer to the Organizing of Urban Road Maintenance Programs issued by the Directorate General of Bina Marga. The survey was divided into 20 segments per 100 meters, the data were obtained from field surveys, with damage data and field photos, and then input data of the street table that use the file formats in ArcGIS software, and later data can be further analyzed. Research shows that the dominant damage happens in grains and patching. Research results on the road of Soekarno-Hatta KM 8-10 have a pretty low rate of damage, shown by the maintenance priorities listed in a regular maintenance program, which means maintenance or repair simply top layer without repairing road structures

Abstract In this research, the condition of a road pavement was investigated for the Aborshada Road in the Gharian region of Libya to determine the optimal maintenance works. Previously, a simple engineering judgment was the only procedure followed by the Gharian municipal engineers for evaluating pavements and prioritizing maintenance. The surface condition of the Aborshada Road pavement was investigated using “the Pavement Condition Index (PCI)” visual technique. The pavement was inspected to survey the different distresses in each sample unit. Ninteen pavement distresses were classified according to the PCI standards (PCI for roads and parking lots became an ASTM standard in 2007 (D6433-07)). It was necessary to know the most common distresses of the Aborshada Road to provide assistance for the decision maker in his evaluation of the pavement and the optimum repair method to be selected. This study reveals the actual performance of the pavements and suggests the research required for dealing with the pavement maintenance problem in Libya, especially in the western region. The best maintenance alternative for Aborshada Road was Case No. 3 (Potholes, Long. & Trans. Cracking and Alligator Crack Maintenance). Also, the most common pavement distresses on the Aborshada Road were Distress Nos. 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 13 according to the ASTM - D6433-07 classification

Road is a very vital land transportation infrastructure and transportation route. Apart from being transportation, roads also function as a medium of socialization and accessibility for the community. Damage to the road is a big problem for some people who use the road every day. Therefore, a public complaint system is needed to the authorities in reporting the location of damaged roads, so that road repairs can be carried out quickly. The purpose of this study is to make it easier for the public to report damaged road conditions using a damaged road reporting system website that can be accessed online. The research method used in this study is the waterfall method. This waterfall method has a sequential flow of software starting from planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance. The design of this system uses Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Object Oriented Analysis Design (OOAD). The programming language used is PHP Framework Yii and MySQL database. This research was conducted on a website reporting damaged roads in Kampar Regency which also provides information on roads that have been repaired in Kampar Regency and provides information related to the Kampar PUPR Service. With this system, PUPR's performance in repairing damaged roads that have been reported by the general public will be better.

Road infrastructure in the Republic of Moldova represents the totality of road networks classified in express, republican and regional, including a complex of objects that ensure the efficiency of road traffic, such as bridges, gas stations, pedestrian crossings, street lighting, etc. Road construction and maintenance also require changes in geographical systems, including within river basins. The research highlights the impact of the river network on road infrastructure construction and maintenance projects and at the same time the impact of the road network on the river network in the environmental conditions within the Răut river basin. Therefore, the most frequent environmental impressions are left by the relief levelling and geological settlement works, by the extraction and displacement of mineral substances (gravel, sand) according to construction or repair projects, river valley modelling for bridge construction, landscaping of the space adjacent to the roads by deforestation of trees, irradiation of the soil layer, by modification of surface runoff and environmental pollution.

Background: Water floods have a considerable impact on roads sustainability by creating roads cracks, breaking down and holes, and failure for some other parts. The existence of good drainage system serviced the road and draining the water resulted from rain floods is crucial. These significant influences can be classified as positive or negative, low, moderate, or high. Aim and Objectives: This paper discusses the water floods and rainfall effects on roads and highways in Jordan as well as the drainage system on road sustainability and performance. The main aim of this paper is to investigate and analyse water as rainfall or floods affecting roads and highways in Jordan. The importance of this study is represented by studying and analysing the effects of rainfall and water floods on road construction and sustainability in Jordan after the latest high rain sizes of this winter and water floods, which affect the roads and highways in a good percentage. The other importance of the study is represented in offering solutions to problems caused by the environmental effects, specially floods and high rainfall rates. Methodology: all data and information about status of Jordanian roads during winter and floods are collected from real cases of about 40 main and semi-main roads in Jordan. Results and Conclusions: A good drainage system and repair operations and maintenance generally have a positive impact on road sustainability and survival age. The effects of slopes of the road and surface of the asphalt, rainfall intensity, and water flow velocity on drainage length and drainage time and water depth are discussed here.

The purpose of the paper is to study the condition of the Baikal region road network. Statistical data on the development level of road networks, as well as the regulatory and technical legal documents governing the road industry in Russia and in the Baikal Region, we reanalysed. Firstly, the Baikal Region, as well as the Russian Federation as a whole, lags far behind most developed countries in terms of the development of road networks. Secondly, the road network in the Baikal Region has a very low density in the northern parts and a relatively high density in the southern parts, which are more developed and populated. Thirdly, the actual condition of the roads significantly differs from the regulatory and engineering requirements. Fourthly, the final cost of the product is twice as high as in developed countries. This is due to the low level of quality and development of the road network, as well as the high transport expenses. Moreover, the low quality of the roads has a direct impact on the number of accidents. It can be concluded that an effective mechanism for the modernization of the road industry in the Baikal region has not been developed. The existing regulatory framework and the deadlines set by various development programs do not accomplish the development indicators of regional and local road networks. It is essential that approaches to road capital repair and maintenance of regional and local roads should be modified. A repair of a whole stretch of a road should replace the traditional approach of repairing individual small sections of a road and its structures. To this end, theoretical and methodological provisions and practical guidelines for developing road networks in the Baikal region should be established.
