Abstract

In the past, engineers were not familiar with pavement management and only paid attention to pavement maintenance. Pavements that require repair and maintenance should be selected for repair and maintenance before reaching a critical state, and this operation requires the experience of engineers based on the pavement management status. Prioritizing road maintenance is one of the most essential measures for allocating funds to road and pavement improvement projects. The simultaneous use of different factors in conventional project prioritization models seems to be essential. In this study, using factors such as the Damage Index (PCI), traffic and service level, surrounding uses, accident rates, and machinery, the maintenance of several important streets in Hamedan city has been prioritized using the ANP method. The results of the sensitivity analysis showed that Axis 2 (Mahdieh Street) with a weight of 0.39 and Axis 1 (Sadaf Street) with a weight of 0.27 have the lowest priority. This indicates that relying on a single criterion cannot provide a correct analysis of the condition of existing roads.
