This paper provides a review of predictive analytics for roads, identifying gaps and limitations in current methodologies. It explores the implications of these limitations on accuracy and application, while also discussing how advanced predictive analytics can address these challenges. The article acknowledges the transformative shift brought about by technological advancements and increased computational capabilities. The degradation of pavement surfaces due to increased road users has resulted in safety and comfort issues. Researchers have conducted studies to assess pavement condition and predict future changes in pavement structure. Pavement Management Systems are crucial in developing prediction performance models that estimate pavement condition and degradation severity over time. Machine learning algorithms, artificial neural networks, and regression models have been used, with strengths and weaknesses. Researchers generally agree on their accuracy in estimating pavement condition considering factors like traffic, pavement age, and weather conditions. However, it is important to carefully select an appropriate prediction model to achieve a high-quality prediction performance system. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each model enables informed decisions for implementing prediction models that suit specific needs. The advancement of prediction models, coupled with innovative technologies, will contribute to improved pavement management and the overall safety and comfort of road users.
