Constraint handling methods in pavement maintenance programming

摘要

The problem of pavement maintenance management at the network level is one of maintaining as high a level of serviceability as possible for a pavement network system through reactive and proactive repair actions, whilst optimising the use of available resources. This problem has traditionally been solved using techniques like mathematical programming and heuristic methods. Lately, the use of genetic algorithms (Gas)to solve resource allocation problems like the network pavement maintenance problem techniques in terms of solution quality and diversity.
