Description
Summary:Priority analysis is a multi-criteria process that determines the best ranking list of candidate sections for maintenance based on several factors. In this paper, two methods for priority ranking of road maintenance, viz. (a) ranking based on subjective rating and (b) ranking based on economic indicator, are evaluated. The subjective ranking was done using maintenance priority index which is a function of road condition index, traffic volume factor, special factor and drainage factor. The second ranking method was based on economic indicator in which NPV/Cost ratio was calculated for each pavement section using the HDM-4 software.
