A model for the pavement temperature prediction at specified depth using neural networks

Abstract

Earlier researches have established that the ambient temperature is one of the most important factors for pavement temperature analysis.This paper examines the existing models for predicting pavement temperatures at specified depth and formulates a new one using neural networks depending on the surface pavement temperature and depth. It was also conducted the validation of the model comparing predicted with measured temperatures.
