Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Based on a Geospatial Information System (GIS)

Abstract

A Geospatial Information System (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geospatial data. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) based on the GIS is one of the indirect and efficient methods in identifying areas. In this work, an analytical computational process combined with a spatial analysis was used to identify pavement zones for a city. The zoning results were categorized in four classes, including very high, high, medium risk, and low risk zones. The high and very high risk zones have been considered as a whole. The work circumstances include the Mean Profile Depth (MPD) data as a function of the number of wheel passes and the temperature; ten (10) specimens were selected from a set of 23 specimens. The results showed a good correlation between the parameters, including the number of wheels passing, the temperature, and the MPD.
