dc.description.abstractPavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) is important for transportation agencies to have a sustainable transportation infrastructure. In maintenance operations, obtaining limits of homogeneous sections is a key problem because appropriate segmentation can help yield a more cost effective M&R plan. The purpose of this study is to present the result of investigation on various research works and to suggest the direction of developing an enhanced methodological framework. Existing approaches for pavement segmentation was explored through a literature review and data analysis. Autocorrelation tests, change-point approaches, a Bayesian method, and a hidden Markov model were performed using pavement condition data. Future work directions were suggested to develop a segmentation method capable of handling the issues found in the study.
