Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling (2015)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (in press). Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, https://doi.org/10.1093/imaman/dpv031

This paper presents a road maintenance planning model that can be used to balance out maintenance cost and road user cost, since performing road maintenance at night can be convenient for road users but costly for highway agency. Based on the platfor... Read More about Road maintenance planning using network flow modelling.

Petri net modelling of bridge asset management using maintenance-related state conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Le, B., & Andrews, J. (in press). Petri net modelling of bridge asset management using maintenance-related state conditions. Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 12(6), https://doi.org/10.1080/15732479.2015.1043639

Bridge structures are an important part of the UK transportation network. They are also experiencing increasing rates of deterioration due to the increasing traffic volume and load intensity. Available bridge models have many restrictions due to the... Read More about Petri net modelling of bridge asset management using maintenance-related state conditions.

Application of network traffic flow model to road maintenance (2015)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2015). Application of network traffic flow model to road maintenance. Proceedings of the ICE - Transport, 168(3), https://doi.org/10.1680/tran.13.00067

The study shows how the evolution of two-way traffic flows on a local highway network can be predicted over time using a network-level traffic flow model (NTFM) to model both urban and motorway road networks. After a brief review of the main principl... Read More about Application of network traffic flow model to road maintenance.

Modelling wind turbine degradation and maintenance (2015)
Journal Article
Le, B., & Andrews, J. (2016). Modelling wind turbine degradation and maintenance. Wind Energy, 19(4), 571-591. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.1851

degradation, inspection and maintenance processes. The model was developed based on the Petri net method that effectively captures the stochastic nature of the dynamic processes through the use of appropriate statistical distributions. The versatilit... Read More about Modelling wind turbine degradation and maintenance.

A holistic approach to railway infrastructure asset management (2015)
Journal Article
Rama, D., & Andrews, J. D. (2015). A holistic approach to railway infrastructure asset management. International Journal of Performability Engineering, 11(2),

In the railway industry asset management decisions are focused on the maintenance, enhancement and renewal of assets in order to ensure a required level of dependability and improvement in services at the lowest whole life costs. To achieve these obj... Read More about A holistic approach to railway infrastructure asset management.
