Abstract
This paper studies review of the application of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for the prioritization of pavement maintenance. For a highway agency it is not possible to take up the maintenance requirements for all road sections within a road network at a time due to budget constraints. This makes a need for priority ranking model to select and schedule road sections for maintenance treatment according to their maintenance needs. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method for prioritization of pavement maintenance is wide spread now a day. In AHP method the relative importance assigned between scales 1 to 9 (on Saaty’s scale) to each parameters in hierarchy by the experts opinion (transportation professionals). The pair wise comparison matrix was prepared between each parameter. Normalized the matrix for determine weightage of parameter or alternative. Final priority Ranking was given to parameters or alternatives based on their weightage value. The parameter or alternative was ranked first which has highest weightage value and it was more prior than other so, considered first for the maintenance work.
