Pavements are major assets of highway infrastructure. Maintenance and rehabilitation of these pavements to the desired level of serviceability is one of the challenging problems faced by pavement engineers and administration in the highway sector. The evaluation of pavement performance using pavement condition indicators is a basic component of any PavementManagement System. Various indicators like Pavement Condition Index (PCI), Potehole Index(PI),Alligator Cracking Index(ACI),Longitudinal Cacking Index (LCI), Traverse Cracking Index (TCI), Rutting Index (RI),Roughness Index (RI), Structural Capacity Index etc. have been commonly used to assign a maintenance strategy for the existing pavements.
