This paper discusses the use of neural networks as a management tool for the maintenance of jointed concrete pavements. The backpropagation algorithm is applied to model the condition rating scheme adopted by Oregon State Department of Transportation. The backpropagation technique was successful in accurately capturing the nonlinear characteristics of the condition rating model. A large training set of actual pavement condition cases was used to train the network. The training was terminated when the average training error reached 0.022. A set of 6802 cases was used to test the generalization ability of the system. The trained network was able to accurately determine the correct condition ratings with the average testing error of 0.024. Finally, a statistical hypothesis test was conducted to demonstrate the system's fault-tolerance and generalization properties.
