Disruptive events, such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides, may disrupt the service provided by transportation networks on a vast scale, as their occurrence is likely to cause multiple objects to fail simultaneously. The restoration program …
A road network consists of multiple objects that deteriorate over time with different speeds of deterioration. In order to provide an adequate level of service over time, these objects will eventually require interventions. As road managers are …
Many bridge management systems use Markov models to predict the future deterioration of structural elements. This information is subsequently used in the determination of optimal intervention strategies and intervention programs. The input for these …
In this paper, a real option approach to determine the optimal time to execute interventions on rail infrastructure, when it is not known for certain which intervention is to be executed, is presented (i.e. the optimal intervention window). Such an …
In the management of road networks, it is often desired to know the condition of individual road sections, which is approximated using the values of condition indicators. The values of these indicators can be used, for example, to determine whether …
