Popis: We study a dynamic optimization problem arising in the (long-term) planning of road rehabilitation activities. In this area one seeks a pavement resurfacing plan for a road network under budget constraints. Our main approach is to model this as an integer programming problem with underlying dynamic programming structure. We investigate properties of this model and propose a solution method based on Lagrangian relaxation where one gets subproblems that are shortest path problems. Some computational experiences based on realistic data are reported.
