Modeling and Predicting the Deterioration of Pedestrian Assets

Transportation agencies closely monitor and evaluate roads for needed repairs, but pedestrian infrastructure such as sidewalks receive less attention. When left in disrepair, this infrastructure is susceptible to deterioration and can have significant negative impacts on communities. This project collected and integrated pertinent data and developed a model that measured the deterioration of pedestrian assets to predict the effects of aging. With this additional information, agencies can better prioritize areas of need and allocate resources more effectively to maintain and repair pedestrian assets.
