• Abstract:
  The study found that there are significant benefits associated with maintenance treatments, and that such short-term impacts generally involve an increase in pavement condition or a decrease in deterioration rate. It was found that the timing of maintenance with respect to performance monitoring was vital for correct assessment of maintenance effectiveness, without which maintenance effectiveness could be greatly under- or over-estimated.
