路面损坏，特别是坑洼，表明恶化的高级阶段。英国道路网中坑洞数量的迅速增加不仅引起了公众的关注，而且也对维护预算造成了重大压力。在本文中，从定性研究的结果集中在坑洼管理在英国地方当局的环境。英国的地方当局负责管理大约90%的道路网。这项研究涉及了解坑槽修复和坑槽管理的技术成熟度现状，包括专家对未来研发需求的意见。总的来说，80个地方当局的答复表明，尽管在材料选择上有很好的一致性，但坑洞的定义以及修补技术的差异很大，导致修补性能不一致。大约40%的受访者表示，尽管在中央数据库或本地化系统中记录了数字化的坑洞记录，但没有重复维修的记录。结果发现，大约87%的受访者没有一个补丁修复的整个生命周期的成本模型。与会者强烈建议进一步研究和开发修理工艺、修理系统的全面管理和操作人员的培训。
Road surface damage, particularly, potholes indicate an advance stage of deterioration. The rapid increase in the number of potholes in the UK road network is not only generating public concern, but also creating significant strain on maintenance budget. In this paper, results from a qualitative study focused on pothole management in local authority environment in the UK are presented. Local authorities in the UK are responsible for managing approximately 90% of the road network. The study involved developing an understanding on the current state of technical maturity of pothole repair, pothole management, including experts’ opinion on future needs for research and development. In total, the response from eighty local authorities showed that despite good agreement on material selection, the definition of pothole together with the techniques for patch repair is widely variable resulting inconsistence repair performance. Approximately 40% respondents indicated no record of repeat repair despite digital means of pothole recording either in a central database or in a localized system. It was found that approximately 87% respondents do not have a whole life cost model for patch repair. A strong opinion was expressed for further research and development on the repair process, overall management of the repair system and training to operatives.
