Models for optimal project grouping in highway maintenance
Abstract This paper investigates the problem of grouping, at the pre-contract award stage, of pavement sections which have been designated for corrective maintenance. Two grouping models are developed, the objectives of which are to combine adjacent sections in such a manner that the total of fixed and variable costs is minimized. In the first model it is assumed that the servicing facility for any group assigned to the same contract will be at the centre of that group. In the second model a more general framework allows for possible non-central location of servicing facilities. Solution procedures are discussed and illustrative examples are given.
