The Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) has been used by the Ministry of Transport (MOT) in Saudi Arabia to report pavement condition. The World Bank developed the PCR in 1986. PCR is based on International Roughness Index (IRI), Rutting (RUT), Cracking (CRA), and Raveling (RAV). The MOT collects pavement condition data using a digital inspection vehicle called Road Surface Tester (RST) vehicle. On some expressways, the MOT measures the Skid Number (SN) using a Skid Test Unit as complimentary measurement for safety issues. The objective of this paper is to develop PCR model and pavement roughness model using survey data for overlaid sections on some expressways in the network with total observation number is 3469. The PCR model is a function of pavement age (T), Traffic Volume (TV), and IRI. The IRI model is a function of RUT, RAV, and CRA. Overlaid sections across the entire network have been selected to study the mechanisms of pavement deterioration, to develop the model and to draw conclusions.
