Parameterized Logistic Models for Efficient Bridge Maintenance Scheduling

Bridge maintenance is integral to bridge functionality and safety. However, for authorities with large inventories, such as the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) in Canada which manages about 3000 bridges, management poses a challenge in light of budget and resource limitations. This study proposes an efficient yet easy-to-implement framework for life-cycle bridge management that is based on parameterized logistic models. First, a …
