Research Initiation: A Knowledge-Based Expert System for Analysis and Design of Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies

该国的高速公路路面正在以快速的速度恶化，需要技术来帮助工程师制定修复战略。该项目将开发一个自动计算机程序，该程序将系统地将路面工程师解释有关路面状况的有限和不确定数据的过程形式化，以便重铺路面、修复、修复和/或替换。研究结果将对负责高速公路路面状况的联邦、州和县工程师有所裨益。

The nation's highway pavements are deteriorating at a fast rate and techniques are needed to assist engineers in developing rehabilitation strategies. This project will develop an automated computer program which will systematically formalize the process by which pavement engineers interpret limited and uncertain data concerning the condition of the pavement for resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, and/or replacement. The results will be beneficial to Federal, state, and county engineers who are responsible for the condition of the highway pavements.
