Sustainable pavement maintenance and rehabilitation planning using the marine predator optimization algorithm
The sustainability of pavement, especially in Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) scheduling, has become an immense concern and has received limited attention in previous studies. Therefore, this study aimed to develop the M&R scheduling optimization based on sustainability. To this end, a novel sustainability index was introduced, in which all the sustainable development aspects were considered, including highway agency cost, environmental impacts, and social effects. A conventional model was used to assess the sustainable model’s effectiveness. Two new constraints are introduced to reduce the budget fluctuation and not to apply the M&R treatments for two consecutive years to make the model practical. On the other hand, highway agencies face large-scale networks, in which the optimization of M&R scheduling has computational complexities. Thus, the novel and powerful metaheuristic algorithm, named Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA), was applied to solve the pavement M&R scheduling problem. A large-scale pavement network, including 110 sections, was analyzed over a 5-year plan as the case study. The results indicated that using the sustainable model rather than the conventional one leads to a 6.5% reduction in CO2 emission. Besides, utilizing the sustainable approach enhances the equity and safety indices by 40.7% and 2.5% compared to the conventional treatment. However, the highway agency cost is increased by 1.1% using the sustainable model.
