ABSTRACT: One of the major problems facing transportation agencies is that of evaluating pavement maintenance alternatives and finding the optimum maintenance strategy for defected pavement segments. Applying the optimum maintenance strategy reduces the total maintenance costs over the service life of pavements, postpones the costs of major rehabilitation, and maximizes the benefits gained from limited budgets. Pavement maintenance activities are usually triggered based on Surface Condition Rating (SCR) process The main objective of this paper is to present a Decision Support System (DSS) for prioritizing pavement maintenance activities using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for Alberta Infrastructure (Al) as a multi-criteria decision-making technique.
