Book Development and Implementation of a Network level Pavement Optimization Model

Download or read book Development and Implementation of a Network level Pavement Optimization Model written by Shuo Wang and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimal use of pavement maintenance and rehabilitation dollars is essential in a constrained budget environment such as now. A network-level optimization tool, which could generate the best maintenance and rehabilitation strategies for the entire pavement network, has become necessary for many highway agencies. This thesis presents the development and implementation of a network-level optimization tool within a pavement management information system for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Future pavement condition is predicted based on historical pavement data using a Markov transition probability model. Such transition probabilities are updated automatically when new condition data become available each year. The network-level optimization tool integrates a linear programming model and the Markov transition probability model. This optimization tool is capable of (1) calculating the minimum budget required to achieve a desired level of pavement network condition, (2) maximizing the improvements of pavement network condition with a given amount of budget, and (3) determining the corresponding optimal treatment policy and budget allocations. It can be used by highway agencies as a decision support tool for network-level pavement management.

Book Pavement Management Methodologies to Select Projects and Recommend Preservation Treatments

Download or read book Pavement Management Methodologies to Select Projects and Recommend Preservation Treatments written by Kathryn A. Zimmerman and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1995 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators; pavement management system (PMS), maintenance, and computer engineers; and technologists involved with data collection and computer programming for the purposes of a PMS. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to pavement management methodologies to select projects and recommend preservation treatments. This report of the Transportation Research Board also describes the predominant pavement management methodologies being used by U.S. state and Canadian provincial transportation agencies; provides a general description of each methodology; and summarizes the requirements, benefits, hindrances, and constraints associated with each. It includes a review of domestic literature and a survey of current practices in North America. In addition, case studies are included to illustrate the use of these methodologies within transportation agencies. Operational and soon-to-be implemented technologies are also discussed, and an extensive bibliography is provided for further reference.

Book Pavement Asset Management

Download or read book Pavement Asset Management written by Ralph Haas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive and practical, Pavement Asset Management provides an essential resource for educators, students and those in public agencies and consultancies who are directly responsible for managing road and airport pavements. The book is comprehensive in the integration of activities that go into having safe and cost-effective pavements using the best technologies and management processes available. This is accomplished in seven major parts, and 42 component chapters, ranging from the evolution of pavement management to date requirements to determining needs and priority programming of rehabilitation and maintenance, followed by structural design and economic analysis, implementation of pavement management systems, basic features of working systems and finally by a part on looking ahead. The most current methodologies and practical applications of managing pavements are described in this one-of-a-kind book. Real world up-to-date examples are provided, as well as an extensive list of references for each part.

Book Development of Pavement Network Optimization System

Download or read book Development of Pavement Network Optimization System written by Suresh Venukanthen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computerized method has been developed to conduct network optimization analysis. The analysis uses performance models along with life-cycle cost analysis to identify the most effective treatment to be applied for a specific pavement section. Performance models were developed for the most common maintenance treatments: sand and chip seals, and rehabilitation treatments: overlay, roadbed modification, and mill and overlay. The models were developed using actual pavement management data collected on field sections for the past 15 years. The life-cycle cost analysis uses the present worth approach along with actual cost figures for initial and annual construction activities. The individual treatments are used to create alternatives that can provide the acceptable performance level for a given pavement section over the entire analysis period of 20 years. The annual performance of pavement sections is modeled in terms of the present serviceability index (PSI). The most effective treatment alternative is selected based on the highest benefit cost ratio which is defined as the ratio of area under the PSI versus time curve divided by the total cost of the alternative. Once the most effective alternative is selected for each pavement section, a summary of the annual expenditures is provided for the group of pavement sections that have been selected for analysis. The group of projects can be the entire network or a group of pavement sections that have been selected by the engineer.

Book Network Optimization

Download or read book Network Optimization written by Panos M. Pardalos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network optimization is important in the modeling of problems and processes from such fields as engineering, computer science, operations research, transportation, telecommunication, decision support systems, manufacturing, and airline scheduling. Recent advances in data structures, computer technology, and algorithm development have made it possible to solve classes of network optimization problems that until recently were intractable. The refereed papers in this volume reflect the interdisciplinary efforts of a large group of scientists from academia and industry to model and solve complicated large-scale network optimization problems.
