Determining an Optimal Set of Work Zones on Large Infrastructure Networks in a GIS Framework

A road network consists of multiple objects that deteriorate over time with different speeds of deterioration. In order to provide an adequate level of service over time, these objects will eventually require interventions. As road managers are …

Determination of Markov Transition Probabilities to be Used in Bridge Management from Mechanistic-Empirical Models

Many bridge management systems use Markov models to predict the future deterioration of structural elements. This information is subsequently used in the determination of optimal intervention strategies and intervention programs. The input for these …
