ABSTRACT
Efficient and economical transportation is essential for smart cities, while roads deteriorate with time due to the combined influence of the traffic load and environmental conditions, leading to impact on its capacity and usage efficiency. Road maintenance is therefore of great importance. In this study we investigate the deteriorating mechanism of parallel road system and introduce a condition-based cost-minimization maintenance model. Parallel road system is a basic shape of road network in transportation system. It consists two nodes (departure and destination node), between which there are several independent, repairable and parallel roads. Based on the deteriorating mechanism of the roads which is influenced by the distribution mechanism of traffic volume, Markov decision process and dynamic programming are used to find the optimal maintenance policy for the parallel road system. We provide a numerical study on a parallel roads system to illustrate structural insights of the proposed model, including a sensitivity analysis on costs.
