Cover Story: Pavements are one of the major assets of urban roadway systems. Maintenance and rehabilitation of these assets to maintain and achieve an acceptable level of service is a difficult challenge for urban development. This work presents a specified procedure for the assessment of urban road distress based on the standard Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Moreover, new distress identification guidelines have been proposed to achieve a novel distress identification manual for urban surfaces. View this paper
