Data Analysis in Pavement Engineering: Methodologies and Applications introduces thetheories and methods as well as definitions, principles, and algorithms of data analysis appliedin pavement and transportation infrastructure analysis, tests, maintenance, and operation.This book provides case studies that demonstrate how these methods can be applied tosolve problems in pavement engineering. Through these real-life examples, readers can gaina better understanding of how to utilize these data analysis techniques effectively.Data Analysis in Pavement Engineering: Methodologies and Applications serves as areference for engineers or a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate students indisciplines related to transportation infrastructure.
- The first comprehensive resource to cover all potential scenarios of data
analysis in pavement and transportation infrastructure research, including areas such as
materials testing, performance modeling, distress detection, and pavement evaluation. - Provides coverage of significance tests, design of experiments, data mining, data
modeling, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. - Summarizes the latest research in data analysis within pavement engineering,
encompassing over 300 research papers. - Delves into the fundamental concepts, elements, and parameters of data analysis,
empowering pavement engineers to undertake tasks typically reserved for statisticians
and data scientists. - Presents 21 step-by-step case studies, showcasing the application of the
data analysis method to address various problems in pavement engineering and draw
meaningful conclusions.
for use as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in pavement engineering, bridge engineering, civil engineering, and other related majors of transportation infrastructure or as a reference book for engineers in the field of pavement and transportation infrastructure maintenance and operation.
