Abstract
This paper presents the application of Machine Learning algorithm, such as artificial neural network and k-means as an alternative for estimation of services required for the accomplishment of highway conservation services in Brazil, based on data related to the highways of the Federal District. A database was created containing data for routine maintenance history, road solutions catalog and price lists. Next, the algorithms of were applied and evaluated. K-means algorithm was better suited to the problem.
