Development of Distress Index Prediction Models for Rehabilitation Treatments in Louisiana Using Advance Machine Learning Techniques

The objective of this study is to utilize advanced machine learning techniques to develop and validate distress index prediction models for rehabilitation treatments in Louisiana. CatBoosT is a recently developed machine learning algorithm that is widely recognized among the computer science community for its robustness in handling high multi-collinearity and high dimensionality of large datasets. No such algorithm has been employed in previous studies to model the pavement performance. Therefore, this study will investigate the effectiveness of CatBoost in modeling pavement performance in Louisiana. It is expected that the developed models will assist transportation agencies in South-Central U.S enhance their pavement asset management practices and make better economic and defensible decisions on pavement treatment selection.
