Chapter 1 – Understanding Road Maintenance Paradigms

1.1 Roads as Critical Public Infrastructure

Road networks are the arteries of modern economies. They connect people to jobs,
education, and healthcare; enable the movement of goods; and underpin social cohesion
and national development. Yet in many parts of the world, roads are deteriorating faster
than they are being maintained. This growing crisis is not only technical but also
institutional and financial — and requires a new way of thinking.

In an era of climate volatility, rapid urbanization, and constrained public budgets, how we
maintain our roads is as important as how we build them. Maintenance is no longer a
background task—it is the front line of resilience.

1.2 The Three Paradigms of Maintenance

Public road agencies traditionally follow one of three maintenance strategies: Corrective,
Preventive, and Predictive.

🔧 Corrective Maintenance (Reactive)

Interventions are made after a problem is reported or observed (e.g., a pothole or surface
failure).

Typically results in higher costs, user complaints, and reduced safety.

Common in under-resourced municipalities.

💡 Policy Insight: While corrective maintenance is unavoidable in emergencies, relying on it

exclusively signals institutional underperformance and risk misallocation of funds.

Preventive Maintenance (Scheduled)

Interventions are based on expected lifecycles or calendar schedules (e.g., resurfacing every
5 years).

Helps reduce long-term costs and service disruptions.

Still may over-maintain good roads and miss unexpected degradation.

💡 Policy Insight: Preventive maintenance is a step forward, but may still rely heavily on
assumptions, not real-world conditions.

🧠 Predictive Maintenance (Data-Driven)

Uses real-time or historical data and algorithms to predict failure before it occurs.

Inputs may include: surface roughness (IRI), cracking data, traffic load, weather patterns,
and even satellite imagery.

Enables targeted, timely, and cost-effective interventions.

💡 Policy Insight: Predictive maintenance allows governments to “do more with less.” It
maximizes ROI, improves safety, and aligns with performance-based infrastructure
management.

1.3 Common Pavement Condition Metrics

Understanding what makes a road “fail” is central to any maintenance strategy. Here are the
primary indicators used globally:

📷 [Placeholder for illustration: Examples of cracking, rutting, potholes with labels]

1.4 Why This Paradigm Shift Matters

A predictive maintenance strategy is not just a technical upgrade—it is a policy

reorientation. It shifts responsibility from firefighting to foresight.

1.5 Road Maintenance in the Global Context

A 2022 study by the World Bank noted that 60% of road infrastructure in low- and middle-
income countries is in “poor or very poor” condition. In developed countries, aging
infrastructure and deferred maintenance create mounting fiscal pressure. Predictive
maintenance presents a way to:

Extend the life of road assets by 30–40%

Reduce reactive repair costs by 50%

Improve safety outcomes and user satisfaction

📷 [Placeholder for bar chart: Cost comparison of reactive vs preventive vs predictive

maintenance]

1.6 Institutional Readiness and Strategic Alignment

Predictive maintenance is not a plug-and-play technology. It requires:

Data collection infrastructure (e.g., sensors, drones, traffic logs)

Analytical capabilities (e.g., machine learning, GIS)

Inter-agency coordination

Clear KPIs and outcome-based performance tracking

💡 Policy Insight: Institutional readiness is the #1 predictor of successful predictive

maintenance adoption—not just budget or tech access.

Conclusion
This chapter laid the foundation for understanding how road maintenance strategies differ
— and why predictive approaches are the future of infrastructure management. The next
chapters will explore the technologies, data sources, case studies, and policy frameworks
that can enable resilient, intelligent, and sustainable road systems.

Chapter 2 – The Predictive Maintenance Revolution

2.1 From Reactive to Intelligent Systems

For decades, public infrastructure maintenance operated on reports, routine inspections,

and budget cycles. Roads were fixed after failures, resurfaced on estimated life cycles, or
patched when funding allowed. But today, a new paradigm is emerging—one driven by
data, sensors, and machine learning.

The transition to predictive maintenance is not just a technological upgrade. It’s a

governance innovation that shifts road infrastructure from a reactive liability to a strategic,
data-informed asset.

2.2 What Is Predictive Maintenance?

Predictive maintenance refers to the use of data analytics and forecasting models to predict
when a road section is likely to deteriorate—before it fails. This enables governments to
schedule cost-effective, timely interventions, avoiding service disruptions and reducing
repair costs.

Key components of a predictive maintenance system:

Sensor networks or data feeds

Analytics engine (often powered by AI/ML)

Condition prediction and risk scores

Decision-support systems for maintenance planning

💡 Policy Insight: Predictive maintenance turns the question from “When will the road
break?” to “What is the smartest time to act?”

2.3 Technologies Powering the Revolution

A range of technologies enables predictive road maintenance:

📡 Sensors and IoT

Vibration and accelerometer data from vehicles

Road-embedded sensors

Smartphone-based monitoring

Traffic counters and environmental stations

Remote Sensing

UAV imagery for crack detection

Satellite-based road surface monitoring (optical and radar)

Thermal imaging to identify hidden subsurface issues

🧠 Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Time-series forecasting (e.g., IRI over 3–5 years)

Image classification for surface distresses

Domain adaptation to transfer models across cities or countries

GIS and Digital Twins

Spatial models of entire road networks

Integration with weather, land use, and traffic datasets

Scenario modeling under climate or load stress

📷 [Placeholder for system diagram: Sensors → Data Pipeline → AI Model → Predictive Map →
Maintenance Action]

2.4 Why Predictive Maintenance Outperforms Traditional Methods

Results:

30–50% cost reduction in long-term maintenance

Up to 80% fewer failures in high-priority corridors

Improved public trust and satisfaction

2.5 Implementation Models

Countries and cities are adopting different models:

Centralized Systems

Led by national ministries or road authorities

Data collected and analyzed at the top level

Uniform standards and funding pools

Decentralized or Hybrid Models

Regional and municipal roads included

Shared data platforms and open APIs

Allows innovation at the local level

💡 Policy Insight: Centralized systems offer scale; decentralized systems offer adaptability.
The best national models blend both.

2.6 Global Examples

🇯🇵 Japan: UAV-Powered Crack Detection

Drones fly over highways capturing high-resolution images.

Deep learning models classify cracks and severity.

Government mandates UAV inspections in annual road audits.

2.7 Barriers to Adoption

Despite its promise, predictive maintenance faces real-world hurdles:

Data silos: Agencies often don’t share or standardize data.

Lack of technical skills: Data science and AI not always present in public works
departments.

Procurement rigidity: Contracts not designed for iterative, data-rich projects.

Short-termism: Political cycles discourage long-term planning.

📷 [Placeholder: Chart showing key institutional readiness factors]

2.8 Opportunities for Policy Makers

Create national digital infrastructure strategies that include road maintenance.

Mandate open data standards for road condition and traffic metrics.

Incentivize public-private data partnerships, especially with telecom and mobility

platforms.

Train city engineers and public works staff in data analytics and predictive modeling.

Conclusion

Predictive maintenance is more than a technical evolution—it’s a revolution in how

governments understand and care for their road networks. It empowers agencies to use
data as a public good, planning not for the next election, but for the next generation.

In the next chapter, we’ll examine policy and institutional bottlenecks—and how
governments can reform structures to fully harness this transformation.

Chapter 3 – Policy Bottlenecks and Institutional Gaps

3.1 The Policy-Technology Mismatch

Despite the promise of predictive maintenance, many public infrastructure systems remain
stuck in reactive or preventive modes. This is rarely due to a lack of awareness or
technology—but rather due to a mismatch between what technology enables and what
policy frameworks allow.
In other words, technology is moving faster than public institutions can adapt. This gap
creates inertia, inefficiency, and missed opportunities.

💡 Insight: Road authorities may “know what’s coming” technologically, but be constrained by
legacy policies, siloed data systems, outdated procurement models, or political timelines.

3.2 Fragmented Governance and Decision-Making

One of the largest barriers to predictive maintenance is institutional fragmentation.

Common patterns include:

Roads being managed by multiple levels: national, regional, municipal

Infrastructure planning split across transport, public works, finance, and digital affairs

Inconsistent data standards and reporting between agencies

Political turnover leading to strategy discontinuity

📷 [Placeholder for diagram: Road maintenance ecosystem map with overlapping

jurisdictions]

This fragmentation leads to unclear mandates, conflicting priorities, and loss of institutional
memory—especially critical for long-term, data-driven projects.

3.3 Budgeting and Procurement Constraints

Predictive maintenance requires:

Continuous funding for monitoring infrastructure

Flexible contracts to allow for iterative model improvement

Data collection and cloud-based services

However, many public procurement rules are:

Rigid: Designed for fixed-scope civil works, not dynamic analytics.

Short-term oriented: Budgets often operate on annual cycles, discouraging long-term ROI
strategies.

Output-based: Measuring surface repairs, not predictive performance or condition

avoidance.

Consequences:
Governments fund “repair” but not “prevention.”

Innovation gets buried in red tape.

Infrastructure remains a cost center, not a performance asset.

3.4 Data Ownership and Accessibility Issues

Predictive models are only as good as the data that feeds them. But in many systems:

Data is siloed across departments (e.g., traffic vs environment).

No standard format for road condition, maintenance logs, or weather inputs.

Limited access to real-time data from private partners (e.g., ride-sharing platforms,
telecoms).

No incentives or mandates for data sharing.

💡 Insight: Countries with open infrastructure data (e.g., Denmark, the UK, Estonia) are
progressing faster in predictive policy implementation.

3.5 Skills and Capacity Gaps

To adopt predictive maintenance, agencies need more than tech—they need talent and
processes.

Skill gaps include:

Data science and machine learning

GIS analysis and spatial modeling

Procurement for innovation

Systems thinking for integrated infrastructure

Many road authorities are still organized around engineering and construction, not data and
analytics.

3.6 The Political Economy of Maintenance

Unlike building a new road, maintaining one doesn’t cut a ribbon. Maintenance lacks the
political visibility of capital projects.
As a result:

Maintenance budgets are often first to be cut during crises.

Preventive or predictive investments are harder to “sell” politically.

Benefits are long-term, but political terms are short.

📷 [Placeholder: Timeline showing mismatch between political cycles and infrastructure ROI]

3.7 Enabling Institutional Reform

To close these gaps, governments must embrace institutional innovation:

Key reforms:

Appoint Chief Infrastructure Data Officers (CIDO) at national or city levels

Legislate for open data and inter-agency integration

Adopt flexible procurement models (e.g., outcome-based contracts, innovation

partnerships)

Create infrastructure innovation labs within transport ministries

Invest in training programs for civil servants on predictive technologies

3.8 A Path Forward

Governments should begin by assessing their institutional readiness:

📷 [Placeholder: Readiness self-assessment matrix]

Once readiness is established, pilot programs can be deployed, evaluated, and scaled.

Conclusion

Predictive maintenance offers immense value, but without reforms in governance,

budgeting, data policy, and capacity building, its potential will remain locked. This chapter
highlighted the key bottlenecks that block progress—and the institutional innovations that
can unlock resilient infrastructure systems.

Next, we turn to the global case studies that show what successful adoption looks like
across varying policy, geographic, and economic contexts.
Chapter 4 – Global Case Studies

4.1 Why Case Studies Matter

Real-world examples are the best way to move from policy aspiration to practical
application. They reveal how predictive maintenance systems perform under different
institutional, technological, and fiscal conditions. This chapter showcases a selection of
international case studies, demonstrating the diversity of approaches and lessons learned.

4.2 Japan – Drone-Based Pavement Inspection at Scale

Context:

Roads were automatically classified into categories needing repair, inspection, or

monitoring.

Results:

High-frequency data coverage for a fraction of traditional cost

Created open data platform for municipalities

Enabled targeting of critical repairs without exhaustive field surveys

💡 Key Policy Insight: Frugal innovation and public-private partnerships can leapfrog
expensive technologies in low-income settings.

4.5 United States – State-Level Integration in Pavement Management Systems

Context:

U.S. state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are responsible for vast networks with
high traffic volumes and strict federal reporting standards.

Solution:

Several DOTs (notably in Michigan, California, and Texas) have begun integrating predictive
AI models into their existing pavement management systems.

Machine learning models forecast pavement condition up to 5 years in advance.

Predictive outputs feed into investment planning and maintenance scheduling.

Data from weigh-in-motion sensors, weather stations, and visual inspections are fused for
accuracy.

Results:

Improved prioritization of critical assets under constrained budgets

Enhanced accountability and performance tracking

Laid groundwork for performance-based contracting

💡 Key Policy Insight: Integration into existing regulatory and planning frameworks is crucial
for scale and institutional buy-in.

4.6 Rwanda – Predictive Maintenance for Resilience and Equity

Context:

As part of its national Vision 2050, Rwanda seeks to modernize road infrastructure while
ensuring rural access and climate resilience.

Solution:
In collaboration with international donors and researchers, Rwanda piloted a GIS-based
predictive model to identify roads most at risk due to rainfall and slope instability.

Integrated rainfall patterns, terrain data, and road quality scores

Enabled targeting of climate-vulnerable road segments

Informed budget prioritization across provinces

Results:

Increased maintenance access in underserved rural zones

Early warnings reduced emergency repair needs

Demonstrated that predictive maintenance can also serve equity and resilience goals

💡 Key Policy Insight: Predictive infrastructure tools can align with climate and social policy,
not just engineering efficiency.

4.7 Summary of Lessons Learned

Conclusion

There is no one-size-fits-all model for predictive maintenance. Each case reflects the
interplay between technology, governance, and context. What they all share is a willingness
to innovate, a commitment to data-driven decision making, and a policy environment that
enables learning and scaling.

The next chapter will turn from inspiration to practical planning—outlining how
governments can integrate predictive maintenance into their infrastructure strategies.

Chapter 5 – Planning Resilient Infrastructure

5.1 The New Mandate: Resilience

In an age of climate instability, aging infrastructure, urban congestion, and limited public
funding, the planning of road infrastructure must go beyond capacity and cost-efficiency.
The new mandate is resilience—the ability of road networks to withstand, adapt to, and
recover from disruptions.
Predictive maintenance is a key enabler of resilience because it allows road authorities to
anticipate degradation and prioritize interventions before failure occurs. But to make this
shift, infrastructure planning must be reframed.

💡 Insight: Resilience is not just about withstanding shocks like floods or landslides—it's
about systematically preventing preventable failures through better data and decision-
making.

5.2 Integrating Predictive Maintenance into Infrastructure Planning

Historically, road planning has focused on:

Design standards (pavement type, width, drainage)

Initial construction cost

Average daily traffic (ADT)

To enable predictive strategies, planners must:

Embed long-term maintenance projections into lifecycle cost models

Use deterioration forecasting to prioritize projects

Create dynamic asset registries that update with real-world data

Key components:

Predictive degradation curves by road type

Budget simulations under different traffic/climate scenarios

Real-time condition feedback from monitoring systems

📷 [Placeholder: Diagram showing feedback loop between planning → data → maintenance →

replanning]

5.3 Resilience to Climate Change and Extreme Weather

Climate risks to road infrastructure include:

Heatwaves (asphalt softening)

Flooding (roadbed erosion, culvert overflow)

Landslides and slope instability

Sea level rise affecting coastal roads

Predictive maintenance supports climate resilience by:

Using environmental data (rainfall, soil saturation, wind) as inputs to risk models

Identifying vulnerable segments before disaster

Supporting prioritized investment in adaptation

💡 Policy Tip: Overlaying climate projections with predictive maintenance models creates
dual-benefit planning: better asset management and climate adaptation.

5.4 Infrastructure Equity and Maintenance Prioritization

Maintenance planning is often driven by traffic volume or political pressure. But this can
disadvantage:

Low-income neighborhoods

Rural roads

Non-motorized users (e.g., bike lanes, pedestrian crossings)

Predictive maintenance allows for transparent, criteria-based planning that can factor in:

Access needs (e.g., schools, hospitals)

Social vulnerability indices

Mobility justice principles

📷 [Placeholder: Map showing prioritized repairs based on access + condition + equity

scoring]

💡 Policy Tip: Integrating social metrics into predictive planning ensures resilience isn't only
for the well-connected.

5.5 Performance-Based and Data-Driven Contracting

Predictive maintenance planning requires changes not only in what we build, but in how we
procure and govern it.

Emerging models:

Performance-based contracts: Contractors are paid based on road condition outcomes, not
just delivery milestones.
Data-sharing clauses: Require providers to supply condition and usage data during and
after works.

Long-term public-private partnerships (PPPs): Shift focus from capital expenditure to long-
term value.

Benefits:

Aligns incentives between governments and contractors

Encourages innovation in monitoring and risk reduction

Supports integration of AI and digital twins into infrastructure management

5.6 Building Institutional Capacity for Resilient Planning

To institutionalize resilient infrastructure planning, governments need:

Interdisciplinary teams: planners, engineers, data scientists, climate experts

Integrated tools: combining GIS, forecasting, and policy dashboards

Training programs: for local officials, public works managers, and procurement officers

Governance reforms: such as Chief Resilience Officers or Digital Infrastructure Units

💡 Policy Tip: Capacity building is the “soft infrastructure” that enables predictive and
resilient road systems to function effectively.

5.7 Planning Under Uncertainty

Predictive infrastructure planning must accept uncertainty—but not paralysis. Scenario-

based tools help governments simulate:

Climate change impacts over 20–50 years

Urban growth and traffic patterns

Infrastructure degradation under different budget levels

By stress-testing policies and budgets under these conditions, planners can develop
adaptive strategies that evolve with time.

📷 [Placeholder: Stress-test matrix showing policy robustness across climate, traffic, and
funding scenarios]
Conclusion

Resilient infrastructure is not just about stronger materials—it’s about smarter planning.
Predictive maintenance, when embedded into infrastructure strategies, enables
governments to anticipate problems, adapt to change, and allocate resources equitably and
efficiently.

The next chapter will translate these concepts into actionable steps, offering a roadmap for
policy makers and public agencies to launch and scale predictive maintenance programs.

Chapter 6 – Building a Predictive Maintenance Strategy

6.1 From Vision to Implementation

By this point, the value of predictive maintenance is clear. But how do public agencies move
from inspiration to execution? This chapter outlines a structured, step-by-step strategy for
designing and deploying predictive maintenance systems for road infrastructure—adapted
for different institutional sizes, budgets, and capacities.

💡 Insight: A successful predictive strategy is not a tech-first project—it is a governance-

driven transformation supported by data and digital tools.

6.2 Step 1: Define Objectives and Success Metrics

Before launching any system, agencies must clarify:

What problem are we solving?

Reducing repair backlog?

Extending road lifespan?

Improving service equity?

What does success look like?

% reduction in emergency repairs?

Smoother rides (lower IRI)?

Faster response to citizen complaints?

Setting measurable KPIs ensures strategic alignment and accountability.

📷 [Placeholder: Table showing sample goals and corresponding metrics]

6.3 Step 2: Assess Data Readiness

Predictive maintenance requires quality data inputs. Begin with an inventory of existing
datasets:

Evaluate:

Completeness

Frequency

Accessibility

Standards compliance

💡 Policy Tip: Even incomplete datasets can be used to start pilots—focus on building
iterative capacity, not perfect data.

6.4 Step 3: Choose the Right Technology Stack

Agencies should avoid "silver bullet" tech promises. Instead, select tools based on:

Use case fit (e.g., cracking prediction vs. traffic risk analysis)

Integration ease with existing systems

Skill availability (can staff maintain it?)

Vendor transparency (is it explainable and auditable?)

Options include:

Open-source ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch)

Commercial asset management platforms

GIS software (QGIS, ArcGIS)

Custom dashboards or mobile apps

📷 [Placeholder: Predictive system architecture diagram]

6.5 Step 4: Pilot, Evaluate, and Iterate

Start small: a pilot on a subset of urban roads or rural corridors.

Pilot Plan Example:

Objective: Forecast IRI change over 12 months

Area: 50 km of suburban asphalt roads

Data: 3 years of condition logs + recent traffic + rainfall

Model: Random forest or LSTM neural network

Evaluation: Compare predicted vs. observed degradation

Key success factors:

Baseline measurement before intervention

Internal champions who understand both tech and policy

Clear feedback loops to adjust and improve models

💡 Policy Tip: Pilots should include not only tech performance but also governance indicators:
data flow, decision-making, and stakeholder coordination.

6.6 Step 5: Institutionalize the Program

To move beyond pilot, predictive maintenance must be embedded into:

Budgeting processes

Performance-based contracts

Procurement criteria

Inter-agency planning routines

Consider creating:

Dedicated roles (e.g., Predictive Infrastructure Officer)

Shared platforms across transport, environment, and public works

Training programs for city engineers and planners

📷 [Placeholder: Checklist for institutional integration]

6.7 Step 6: Monitor, Improve, and Scale

No predictive system is ever “finished.” Conditions evolve, data grows, and models must
adapt.

Establish ongoing processes to:

Monitor model drift or accuracy loss

Include user feedback (from contractors, inspectors, or citizens)

Publish regular performance reports (transparency builds trust)

Scale to new asset types (e.g., bridges, cycle lanes, rural roads)

💡 Insight: A predictive system is a living part of infrastructure—not a one-time installation.

6.8 Cost and Funding Models

Funding predictive maintenance isn’t just about technology—it’s about shifting budget
priorities.

Options:

Redirect % of existing maintenance funds to early warning and prevention

Leverage climate resilience or smart city funding streams

Use performance savings (fewer failures = more spare capacity)

Apply for EU or World Bank infrastructure digitalization grants

6.9 Summary: A Six-Step Strategy

Define objectives and success metrics

Assess data availability and quality

Select technology aligned with use case and capacity

Pilot and iterate, focusing on both tech and governance

Institutionalize within planning, budgeting, and contracting

Monitor, improve, and scale over time

Conclusion
Building a predictive maintenance strategy is not about finding the perfect algorithm—it's
about building the organizational muscle to make smarter, faster, and fairer infrastructure
decisions. With a clear plan, even small agencies can begin a journey that transforms how
roads are maintained, financed, and governed.

In the next and final chapter, we’ll turn to policy recommendations, laying out a national
and local roadmap to embed predictive maintenance into future infrastructure policy.

Chapter 7 – Recommendations for Policy Makers

7.1 Turning Vision into Policy

Predictive maintenance has emerged not just as a technical solution, but as a policy
imperative. It enables governments to maximize return on infrastructure investments,
improve public service delivery, enhance climate resilience, and build equity into
infrastructure systems.

But realizing this potential requires more than pilots and prototypes. It requires intentional
policy decisions—backed by governance reform, funding shifts, and institutional
coordination.

This chapter lays out a concrete policy roadmap for leaders seeking to implement predictive
infrastructure strategies at scale.

7.2 National-Level Recommendations

✅ 1. Establish a National Infrastructure Digitalization Strategy

Predictive maintenance should be part of a coherent national vision for digital

infrastructure.

Key actions:

Define standards for asset data (IRI, PCI, traffic, GIS)

Mandate digital reporting of maintenance activities

Align predictive maintenance with broader goals (e.g. smart cities, climate adaptation)

💡 Policy Insight: Countries with national infrastructure data strategies (e.g., UK, Denmark,
Singapore) are far ahead in predictive adoption.
✅ 2. Create Dedicated Funding Mechanisms

Predictive maintenance must be budgeted for intentionally, not as a byproduct of broader

repair funding.

Options include:

Predictive innovation funds

Resilience bonds

Matching grants to reward cities that integrate predictive tools

📷 [Placeholder: Diagram showing reallocation of budget from reactive to predictive

programs]

✅ 3. Mandate Open and Interoperable Data

Data silos are one of the biggest obstacles. Governments should:

Mandate machine-readable formats for all infrastructure data

Create open APIs for road condition, repair logs, and environmental data

Incentivize private sector data sharing (e.g., telecoms, fleet operators)

💡 Policy Tip: Interoperability is a force multiplier—once data flows, multiple agencies and
use cases can benefit.

✅ 4. Invest in Skills and Institutional Reform

Enable long-term change by:

Creating predictive infrastructure units within transport ministries

Offering scholarships and training for civil servants in AI, GIS, and systems thinking

Reforming civil service hiring to include data roles

📷 [Placeholder: Roadmap of capacity building across ministry levels]

7.3 City and Regional-Level Recommendations

✅ 5. Start with a Scalable Pilot

Cities and regions can lead innovation even in the absence of national mandates.

Key ingredients:

A focused corridor or district

Basic data and clear use case

Internal champions and budget autonomy

Example: A 10 km bike lane network monitored using smartphone vibration data to

schedule micro-resurfacing.

✅ 6. Procure for Performance, Not Just Products

Update procurement frameworks to:

Reward long-term performance (e.g., smoother rides, fewer failures)

Allow for flexible, iterative project scopes

Require data transparency and explainable AI

💡 Policy Tip: Contracts that pay for outcomes—not just delivery—naturally incentivize
predictive strategies.

✅ 7. Link Predictive Maintenance to Broader Goals

Integrate predictive maintenance into:

Vision Zero (road safety)

Net Zero (climate mitigation)

Mobility justice (equitable access to transport)

Smart city platforms and digital twins

This ensures funding and political support, while maximizing social impact.

7.4 A Shared Agenda for the Future

Governments, private providers, civil society, and academia can align around a shared
agenda:
📷 [Placeholder: Network map of multi-stakeholder collaboration]

7.5 Suggested Policy Timeline (Example)

Conclusion: The Road Ahead

Resilient infrastructure is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Predictive maintenance

offers a powerful opportunity to modernize how roads are planned, maintained, and
governed. But it requires courage, collaboration, and policy innovation.

This book has laid out the case, the tools, the models, and the steps. The next move belongs
to you—the policy makers, planners, engineers, and advocates shaping the future of
mobility.

Let us not wait for the next failure to act.

Let us build the future of infrastructure by predicting it—then maintaining it wisely.
