Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on maintenance optimization
models and associated case studies. For these optimization models critical observations are …

Purpose The findings of this study have lightened the focal research areas in maintenance
planning and scheduling. These also served as effective guidelines for future studies in this …

There is growing interest in reducing building energy consumption through increased
sensor data and increased computational support for building controls. The goal of reduced …

Railway big data technologies are transforming the existing track inspection and
maintenance policy deployed for railroads in North America. This paper develops a data …

Bridge management systems have adopted Markov-chain models for predicting the future
condition of bridge components, systems, and networks. These models are developed …

The overall objective of this two part study is to highlight the advanced attributes, capabilities
and use of stochastic control techniques, and especially Partially Observable Markov …

To address effectively the urgent societal need for safe structures and infrastructure systems
under limited resources, science-based management of assets is needed. The overall …

Civil infrastructure during its service life is subject to progressive deterioration due to
aggressive environments and sudden deterioration due to natural and/or manmade …

We illustrate how to assess the Value of Information (VoI) in sequential decision making
problems modeled by Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) …

The objective of infrastructure management is to provide optimal maintenance, rehabilitation
and replacement (MR&R) policies for a system of facilities over a planning horizon. While …
