Connectivity-Based Optimal Scheduling for Maintenance of Bridge Networks
This paper addresses the issue of connectivity- and cost-based optimal scheduling for maintenance of bridges at the transportation network level. Previous studies in the same field have considered the connectivity just between two points or other network performance indicators, such as the total travel time. In this paper, the maximization of the total network connectivity is chosen as the objective of the optimization, together with the minimization of the total maintenance cost. From a computational point of view, several numerical tools are combined to achieve efficiency and applicability to real cases. Random field theory and numerical models for the time-dependent structural reliability are used to handle the uncertainties involved in the problem. Latin hypercube sampling is used to keep the computational effort feasible for practical applications. Genetic algorithms are used to solve the optimization problem. Numerical applications to bridge networks illustrate the characteristics of the procedure and its applicability to realistic scenarios.
