Deterioration-based Maintenance Management Algorithm

The Road Management Systems (and the PMS) usually do not take intoconsideration the future traffic change. The maintenance and rehabilitation actions and thedevelopment of the road network structure and the changing traffic structure modify theamount of the traffic on the road section. The deterioration process depends on mostly thevolume of the traffic. That is why it is important to take into consideration the change of thetraffic volume during the planning time horizon. In the lecture some techniques are shownwhich handle this problem: in multiperiod, long time model at each planning period thetraffic volume change is take into consideration. In ranking models the problem could behandled and solved. In the case of one period Markov stabile model there is nothing to do.In the multiperiod model the problem could be solved also.
