Abstract
Conventional human-involved maintenance methods for asphalt pavement pose significant challenges when applied to high-traffic road sections, often leading to congestion and safety risks, as well as reduced maintenance efficiency. In recent years, explorations into unmanned construction technology for newly constructed expressways have yielded beneficial and encouraging results. However, its application in road maintenance in more complex environments still needs to be expanded. In this study, an intelligent unmanned maintenance technology for asphalt pavement was applied to the Lilong Highway in Zhejiang Province, China, and the compactability, thickness, surface smoothness, permeability coefficient, and constructure depth of maintenance road sections were measured. Then, based on fuzzy comprehensive mathematics and the analytic hierarchy process, a comprehensive evaluation was performed on the intelligent unmanned maintenance technology, considering the aspects of road quality, safety, application, and socio-economic benefits. The results show that the road quality of intelligent unmanned maintenance technology can meet the road specification requirements. In addition, the membership degree of unmanned maintenance technology in the excellent grade is the highest, reaching 0.805, and the quantified value for the overall evaluation of the application effectiveness of unmanned maintenance technology is 92.10. This means that the final comprehensive evaluation result of unmanned maintenance technology is rated as excellent. The research findings provide decision-makers with valuable insights into the unmanned automation maintenance challenges faced by asphalt pavement, enabling them to implement appropriate measures to elevate the maintenance standards of road transportation.
