Abstract
Highways are vital infrastructures that play a crucial role in providing social welfare. Highway structures could experience different types of deterioration (e.g. pavement ageing, pavement cracking, potholes, bridge structure deteriorations, and rockfall due to unstable slopes). Minimal attention has been directed towards developing a comprehensive model to effectively reduce the potential hazards for the entire highway network while considering the associated individual and overall risks. An integrated risk management model is used to separately assess each section's risk value and the extent of its impact on the network. An efficient model has been developed to identify the highway sections that its maintenance will effectively reduce the total risk within the highway network. The developed model competence is examined and verified after evaluating a four major highway network in Florida. The results of the highway's analysis were compared for all routes within the network. Also, the developed model's proficiency in optimally reducing the network's overall risk is presented. The proposed model could be utilized as a support-decision tool to decide which highway segments must be maintained to minimize the network's potential risk.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
