Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for the assessment of road pavement condition, based on three powerful concepts, aimed to accommodate the uncertainty caused by the complex interrelationships, material defects, structural deficiencies, human errors, and ambient fluctuations characterizing the pavement systems. These very useful concepts, selected with the aim, to approach, in a new comprehensive manner, the difficult task of assessment of road pavement condition are as follows: the concept of chance, expressed in terms of probabilities and reliability; the concept of change, expressed in terms of dynamics, e.g. of change of the pavement condition in time; the concept of entropy, expressed in terms of differences in pavement system's entropy, occurred in time, as an appropriate quantitative parameter, measuring the degree of uncertainty of a pavement to meet its specific structural, surface and traffic safety requirements.
