Operations Research Model Formulation for Road Maintenance Case
2019
Jānis Pekša, Kristaps Pēteris Rubulis

Operations research can be used to apply analytical methods that help make precise and reasonable decisions. In road maintenance, basic principles of operations research are used to create model formulation that could help lower costs in case of an inaccurately made decision. First, the paper provides a literature review on different model formulations. Afterward, hypotheses are proposed regarding the model formulation, and then the model that minimises total generalised costs from wrong duty orders for road maintenance is offered. In conclusion, the paper evaluates the hypotheses and the process of improving the mathematical model.
