    This document presents a multi-objective optimization approach to support pavement maintenance decision making. The study uses data from 110km of roads in Nigeria to formulate an optimization model with objectives of minimizing cost and maximizing pavement level of service. Several pareto optimal solutions are identified and the weighted sum method is used to select a satisfactory solution based on the agency's goals. The selected optimal solution involves applying medium rehabilitation to 2.2% of the network at a cost of 245 million Naira and achieving a level of service of 4.12 out of 5. The study demonstrates the suitability of multi-objective optimization for pavement maintenance problems.

    INTRODUCTION
     Pavement Maintenance: Work preformed to
    sustain serviceability of roadway surface
    condition.
     Levels of pavement maintenance decision
    making
     Strategic level
     Network level
     Project Selection level
     Project level

     Major Objectives: Minimize Cost vs Maximize


    Pavement LOS or benefit
    Lower levels: Time and material availability
    considered
    PROBLEM STATEMENT
     Multiple and competing agency goals are
    usually limited by single objective approaches.

     Most weighted sum methods analyse pareto


    optimal results using one method of selection
    of satisfactory solution.

     No single multi criteria decision making


    method is considered superior to the other.

     Need to investigate selection of pareto


    solution for different decision making
    scenarios.
    CASE STUDY AND DATA
     IRI data of 110 km road length from FERMA,
    Nigeria.

     Network length is divided into sections based


    on areas with similar roughness degree.
    Impractical section lengths are combined
    with others.

    Preventive Maint.: 3.89
    CONCLUSION
     Weighted sum approach to multi-objective is suitable
    for bi-objective problems with manageable number of
    variables.

     Multi criteria decision making methods depend mostly


    on the intent and preference of the agency.

     Another method for fifty-fifty trade-off scenario.(i.e.


    Shortest Total Euclidean Distance of Pareto point from
    all other pareto points) is discovered and applied to
    select a solution.

     There is need to develop a method that ensures equal


    spread of pareto points in the objective space for ease
    of pavement management decision making.
