Network‐Level Road Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Scheduling for Optimal Performance Improvement and Budget Utilization

This article discusses how to efficiently and completely solve a bi-objective pavement maintenance and rehabilitation-scheduling problem, which aims at optimizing two objectives of pavement condition im- provement and budget utilization in a simultaneous man- ner. This problem may be addressed by the weight- ing method, constraint method, ranking method, and various metaheuristic methods. However, none of these methods can guarantee the complete Pareto-optimal so- lution set, which would potentially lead to suboptimal decisions. In this article, a parametric method is sug- gested to solve the bi-objective pavement maintenance and rehabilitation-scheduling problem. The effective- ness and efficiency of the parametric method is investi- gated and demonstrated through a case study using the real-world data set from the Dallas District's Pavement Management Information System. A performance com- parison between the widely used weighting method and the parametric method clearly justifies the computational advantages of the parametric method.
