Guide to Asset Management Part 5H provide guidance on the selection, formulation and calibration of pavement performance models for application in the management of road networks. The modelling considered is intended to facilitate reporting of current conditions and life-cycle predictions of future pavement performance for application in the management of road networks. The modelling considered extends from static models for the derivation of composite indicators (such as key performance indicators, KPIs) from a range of individual measures, through to future prediction using comprehensive dynamic pavement performance modelling of functional, structural, and works effects. The models include strategic models based on a few individual measures and significant input parameters which may be used to provide broad estimates of current and future conditions, through to more detailed modelling of functional and structural conditions, and works effects involving interactive component incremental models.
