Introduction:

Transportation networks face increasing pressure from traffic growth, environmental exposure, and aging infrastructure, requiring more structured and data driven approaches to roadway inspection and maintenance. Pavement systems no longer rely solely on conventional evaluation methods, but on integrated analytical models that connect material behavior, structural performance, and condition assessment within unified engineering frameworks. Advanced roadway management depends on systematic inspection technologies, performance modeling structures, and maintenance planning systems that support long term asset reliability and cost efficiency.
