A Decision Support System for Infrastructure Rehabilitation Planning
More and more state and local communities are relying on maintaining, operating, and refining the existing infrastructure systems instead of new large capital programs to improve the performance of infrastructure. Therefore, it is important for every governing agency to plan effectively for rehabilitation of existing facilities within the constraints of the capital program. This paper presents a computer based tool called the Model for Infrastructure Rehabilitation Planning (MIRP) to help governing agencies plan, select, and make decisions on infrastructure rehabilitation. With a group evaluation module and a flexible evaluation criteria database, the Model for Infrastructure Rehabilitation Planning can evaluate the facilities for rehabilitation needs at five different levels: (1) technical/social evaluation including functional criteria and social/community/political criteria; (2) group evaluation that allows multiple user evaluation; (3) cost evaluation, which includes cost estimates for partial and full rehabilitation of facilities with respect to functional and social/political criteria; (4) funding sources and constraints; and (5) management considerations. The paper also describes the software package and illustrates a hypothetical example to explain the model and software.
