Abstract
The development and operation of an Urban Pavement Management System (UPMS) meet many barriers in the public sector. Brazil presents a deficiency of reference documents in the urban sphere, making it a discouragement to deploy better procedures in government planning and operational agencies. Municipal agencies depend on concepts used by highway agencies, even conflicting their traffic characteristics and road network. This study aims to evaluate maintenance and rehabilitation scenarios in urban pavements through the use of an analytical model based on decision trees. The building process consisted of treating and categorizing available variables defined by literature. After selecting the maintenance and rehabilitation activities, they were hierarchized with the inventory and pavements’ evaluation data of a public agency from the Federal District. Lastly, professionals and academics were asked about choosing the same activities. The results of this study are decision tree models and highlight convergence points found in questionnaires responses. An analysis of results shows the relevance of autonomy in making technical decisions, even when noted an inherent subjectivity during the analytical model development process.
