ANALYSIS OF PREDICTION METHODS FOR THE FUNCTIONAL DURABILITY OF ROAD MARKINGS by V. V. Golubenko, A. A. Aleksandrov, V. V. Sirotyuk

“…The authors came to the conclusion that attempts to create a single reliable mathematical model that takes into account more than 40 factors couldn’t be realistic. Therefore, there is a task of developing a number of models that allow to have greater extent that take into account the properties of the road surface, the location and variety of marking lines and predict the functional durability of horizontal road markings for different types of road pavement more reliably.…”
