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

国家的高速公路路面正在快速恶化，需要技术来帮助工程师制定修复策略。该项目将开发一个自动化的计算机程序，该程序将系统地形式化路面工程师通过该程序解释有关路面状况的有限和不确定数据，以便进行重铺、修复、修复和/或更换。研究结果将有利于负责公路路面状况的联邦、州和县工程师。

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.
