A BENCHMARKING APPROACH TO PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT: LESSONS FROM VIETNAM

抄録

 This paper presents an analytical methodology to obtain heterogeneity factor of individual pavement technological group based on local mixing mechanism. Furthermore, a benchmarking approach for selecting the best possible technology for standardization and long term application is proposed. Special focus is on benchmarking of pavement management system in developing countries, where the best possible option of pavement design and management has not generally standardized yet. Empirical study was conducted on the dataset of highway system in Vietnam for testing the applicability of the model. Estimation results demonstrate a high feasibility of benchmarking application to utilize the model in real practices.
