Smith, 1998;Koganzon, 1999; Kamenchukov, 2015). Besides, the deterioration in the road pavement quality leads to a decrease of the period between repairs and an increase in costs of road elements' maintenance and repair. Modern road-building and road-repair machinery makes it possible to use various repair methods and technologies at the same operating conditions (quality) of the road pavement, whereas the final quality of the repaired pavement will not be the same (Radovskiy, 2006). In order to evaluate the efficiency, feasibility and quality of repair works, a "cost of works" parameter is used (i.e. the total amount of expenses for the restoration of transport and operational road characteristics), whereas indicators of operating conditions of the road are scarcely taken into account (Radovskiy, 2006;Rosavtodor, 2013). Thus, the goal of this study is to develop additional principles and methods for the evaluation of the efficiency of road repair and maintenance in terms of ensuring traffic quality and safety. 2. Study background It was reliably ascertained that the most important factor for ensuring high-quality, safe traffic is stable operation of the system "earth bed subgrade — road pavement" (Wise, 1994; Koganzon, 1999;Eremin and Eremina, 2017). The main factors affecting the system efficiency are as follows: uneven operating temperature conditions; periodic watering with surface and ground waters; deep seasonal freezing; uneven thawing of pavement layers; dynamic and static impact of transport load; fatigue in materials of structures. That is why to evaluate the efficiency, feasibility and quality of repair works, first of all, it is necessary to take into account natural and climatic conditions, seasonality of works, constructability, labor intensity, operating road conditions before and after the repair, road operation mode, traffic volume and its type. In Russia, a method developed by professor A. P. Vasiliev to evaluate operating conditions of motor roads is used. In this case, road conditions are evaluated by the final value of the design speed ratio DSR (Rosavtodor, 2002). A method taking into account the cost of road pavement maintenance and repair during the entire period between repairs is used for technical and economic comparison of road pavement options, with allowance for the residual cost of the road pavement (Rosavtodor, 2013;Yakimenko et al., 2017). In Europe and the USA, to evaluate operating conditions of the road pavement, a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) reflecting the extent of pavement deterioration is used (Radovskiy, 2006;Onyango et al., 2018). Cost of works depends on methods and means of work performance and is given for 1 m2 of the repaired pavement. Both methods of evaluating operating conditions of roads take into account a pavement condition score, but do not provide clear limits for the applicability of each specific method and/or technology of repair works. Therefore, the applicability of such methods, depending on operating conditions of the pavement before repair, was evaluated (Kamenchukov and Yarmolinskiy, 2013; Hauser et al., 2018). The results are given in Table 1. Since it is possible to use several repair methods for each level of pavement's operating conditions, and each repair technology has numerous design options (repair methods), the task of evaluating the efficiency, feasibility and quality of repair works has a probabilistic nature. The mathematical interpretation of the task is as follows: it is necessary to choose one repair method among the variety of those; and this method should provide the best balance between the traffic quality, traffic safety, and cost of works, depending on actual operating conditions of the road pavement.

3. Methodology for traffic safety quality assessment Thus, the task can be represented in the following way: ������ ���(���; ���) ��� → ��� � ��� ∈ � ⎨ ��� → ��� ⎪ ⎩ ��� ∈ � ⎧ ⎪

(1)

An integrated indicator of repair efficiency and quality PRQ (Pavement Repair Quality) is determined individually for each option. It reflects a non-linear dependence between the operational efficiency of the repaired road section OER (Operational Efficiency of Renovations) and the costs for maintenance and repair of the repaired road section EER (Economic Efficiency of Renovations). The amount of costs is determined by known methods and similar projects (Rosavtodor, 2013;Ahmed et al., 2017). Let us consider the process of evaluating road quality and safety after repair (OER) in detail. The operational efficiency of the repaired road section (OER) is determined by the following condition:

OER  PEOP(K  PQI )

(2)

The value of a relative increase in the pavement strength factor ΔK is determined as the difference between the strength factor of the repaired pavement calculated mathematically according to the established procedure, and the actual weighted average pavement strength factor at the section being repaired which is determined by the field test method. In order to determine the PEOP (Period of Efficient Operation of Pavement), it is necessary to calculate the ratio between the warranty service life of the pavement and the period between its repairs:

PEOP 

WSLP  PBRP

(3)

The PBRP (Period Between Repairs of Pavements) is individually determined by regulatory and technical documents for the country and area of works. The WSLP (Warranty Service Life of Pavements) determines the period of time during which the operational efficiency of the pavement meets the requirements of regulatory and technical documents, i.e. the pavement remains in excellent condition. The WSLP indicator depends not only on the work method and quality of construction materials, but also on natural and climatic conditions in the area of works. The WSLP indicator can theoretically be determined by the established method (Bakhrakh, 2014; Khan et al., 2017)or taken as the expected service life of the road pavement (Radovskiy, 2006). The β coefficient takes into account the peculiarities of road pavement operation under various natural and climatic conditions and their influence on the rate of defects and deformations' formation on the pavement. The influence of natural and climatic conditions on the road pavement quality and durability were studied by several authors (Kamenchukov, 2015; Eremin and Eremina, 2017).The values of the β indicator for the territory of Russia have been determined empirically and are given in Table 2.

The traffic quality and safety directly depend on the pavement condition, therefore, to evaluate operating conditions of the repaired road section, it is necessary to take into account the effects of pavement quality improvement PQI:

PQI   K i

(4)

The PQI indicator takes into account the generalized net effect of changes in operating conditions of the road pavement after the removal of one or more pavement defects and, as a result, improvement in the traffic quality and safety. C coefficients take into account changes in the traffic speed after the removal of the corresponding pavement defect (C1–C9), the joint effect of defects on changes in the traffic speed (C10–C12) and improvement of auxiliary road operation characteristics (C13–C15). The values of the coefficients are determined by the method of field measurements of the traffic speed on road sections before and after repair; the net weighted average values of C coefficients are given in Table 3.

4. Introduction and development of principles for result optimization, quality assessment and traffic safety To find the optimum solution of the task (1), it is necessary to consider at least 5 options belonging to the region of feasible solutions D, i.e. being competitive with respect to each other. Figure 1 showssuchregionoffeasible solutions with the ratios between OER and EER where 1 is the maximum value of the indicator in the group. It has been experimentally proved that a solution, for which the ratio between OER and EER is an extremum of function (1), i.e. it falls into the red area (Figure 1), cannot be considered as a competitive one as it will compare poorly or favorably to other options. Itisalsonotrecommended to perform comparison for a sample with more than two boundary solutions falling into the yellow area (Figure), i.e. options for which values of the OER or EER indicators differ from the extremum by one step only. Therefore, theoptimum solution of the optimization task (1) can be obtained when most considered indicators fall into the green area (Figure 1) and are considered competitive with respect to each other.

Fig. 1. Aregionofpossibleandfeasiblesolutionsofthe task (1) upon comparison of 5 options.

It is necessary to calculate the PQR indicator for each competitive option:

PRQ  OERI  P1  EERI  P2

(5)

As the task (1) is non-linear (efficiency criteria tend in different directions), in order to solve the task (5), it is necessary to determine the significance of coefficients P1 and P2 depending on the level of pavement's operating condition and the applicability of pavement repair methods. The values of coefficients P1 and P2 are determined by the expert evaluation method (Kamenchukov and Yarmolinskiy, 2013). A group of leading experts in the field of design, construction, repair and reconstruction of motor roads (in the territory of the south of the Far East) was formed for this purpose. The final values of coefficients P1 and P2 are presented in Table 4.

Since the OER and EER indicators have different dimensions, the task (5) cannot be solved in an explicit form. The indicators should be reduced to a one-dimensional value, i.e. they should vary within the range from 0 to 1. For this purpose, it is necessary to calculate the efficiency indices: Table 4. Recommended values of weights P1and P2. Operating characteristics

Transformations (6) and (7) will make it possible not only to reduce both OER and EER criteria to a onedimensional value, but also to ensure that both the OERI (Operational Efficiency of Renovations Index)and EERI (Economic Efficiency of Renovations Index) tend to the optimum value. At the same time, the OERI and EERI indices reflect the degree of result's approximation to the optimum value, i.e. regardless of the fact whether the indicator tends to the maximum OER value or to the minimum EER value, both OERI and EERI indices will tend to the minimum value, since 0 is the best approximation to the optimum. 5. Discussion and conclusions The developed method of integrated evaluation of road pavement repair efficiency allows the following:  to determine appropriate measures that should be applied to restore the consumer properties of the road, depending on pavement's operating conditions before repair;  to provide reasonable, balanced evaluation of the operational and economic efficiency regarding the application of each option of repair works, eliminate non-competitive options and choose the most appropriate technique;  to avoid over-expenditures of material, labor and financial resources and maximize the service life of the motor road. The developed method also has an undoubted advantage over the existing national and international methods: it is possible to predict operational and economic benefits of using a particular work method at the stage of justification of engineering solutions, and, based on methods of economic and mathematical modeling, predict what option will be the most appropriate and efficient.
