OPTIMIZATION OF PAVEMENT REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE BY USE OF INTEGER PROGRAMMING. Academic Article

abstract

• An integer programming technique has been used to develop an operating computer program called RAMS, which determines optimal maintenance strategies for pavements by maximizing the overall maintenance effectiveness for all highway segments considered. The program can use numerous maintenance strategies, resources, and feasibility constraints to obtain solutions. An example problem that contains actual field data on 15 highway segments located in one Texas highway district was used to demonstrate program input and output.
