Development of a Methodology for Optimal Control of the Reliability of Highways at the Stages of Their Design and Stages of Construction, Reconstruction, Repair, and Maintenance

Abstract

A methodological approach to the problem of research and selection of specific optimal procedures while ensuring indicators of the reliability of highways is stated, oriented in relation to both their temporal and spatial coordinates. In general, their mathematical models are presented in the form of continuous or discrete random processes. A specific methodological approach to the choice of rational intervals is proposed, based on statistical modeling of processes that affect the numerical values of the time variables of the defining parameters of highways using elements of the general correlation theory of random processes. The main calculation ratios are presented, which are necessary for the implementation of optimization procedures while ensuring the numerical values of the defining parameters of highways in their characteristic control points, which affect the reliability indicators of highways. A meaningful analysis of individual approaches to the choice of rational control intervals from the point of view of their practical use, in relation to the tasks of ensuring reliability indicators of highways at the stages of their design and stages of construction, reconstruction, repair, and maintenance is carried out.
