A Study on the Application of Genetic Algorithms to the Optimization of Road Maintenance Strategies

This study proposes an optimization method that considers both section resurfacing and localized repairs of damaged points, based on the highly uneven distribution of pavement distress locations and under budget constraints. The model is formulated as an MILP (mixed-integer linear programming) model...
