Optimization techniques keep road performance at a good level using a cost-effective maintenance strategy. Thus, the trade-off between cost and road performance is a multi-objective function. This paper offers a new multi-objective stochastic algorithm for discrete variables, which is called the integer search algorithm (ISA). This algorithm is applied to an optimal pavement maintenance management system (PMMS), where the variables are discrete. The PMMS optimization can be achieved by maximizing the condition of pavement with a minimum cost at specified constraints, so the PMMS is a constrained multi-objective problem. The ISA and genetic algorithm (GA) are applied to improve the performance condition rating (PCR) of the pavement in developing countries, where the annual budget is limited, so a minimum cost for three years’ maintenance is scheduled. Study results revealed that the ISA produced an optimal solution for multi-function objectives better than the optimal solution of GA. |
