Apply De Novo Programming in Pavement Maintenance Strategy Optimization

With the highway network of Taiwan is intact gradually, the management of highway engineering is improving technology level to management level. Reducing the influence with pavement deteriorating, improving the pavement age and achieving the need of pavement service quality, it is a pavement agencys object. Present maintenance work depend on subjective experience judgment of civil engineer, but the kind of method is lack systemic planning. In view of this, Pavement Management system use multi-objectives goal programming to solving priority with the pavement maintenance works. But the multi-objectives programming method is considering multiple-objective, so it cans satisfied the ideal point. The De Novo Method is a new method to approach the ideal point. We try to using this method to solving Taiwan Freeways maintenance work programming.
