Description
This paper presents an approach for optimization of segment-linked maintenance and rehabilitation
plan for a pavement network by using shuffled complex evolution. It extends the works of Nunuo
and Agyei (2000) by improving the exploration-exploitation balance of the algorithm and by using a
realistic pavement deterioration model to solve the problem of multiple maintenance and
rehabilitation activities. An example to maximize the serviceability of the road network under a
fixed budget and minimum serviceability level policy is also presented. The result of the
optimization process using a part of Kanagawa prefecture road network showed very good results
with reasonable computational times.
