Integrated planning of maintenance interventions on road sections comprised of assets of multiple types (MINERVA)
The future of national roads is one where both human driven and automated vehicles travel seamlessly from their origins to their destinations. Potential disruptions to unhindered travel will be foreseen with the extensive use of surveillance technologies, and either prevented through the implementation of detailed action plans or their consequences eliminated with the seamless rerouting of vehicles along alternate routes so that there are virtually no traffic jams and as little as possible lost travel time. Interventions on the infrastructure, whether it be the filling of pavement cracks, or the rehabilitation of bridges, will be grouped together in ways that minimize traffic disruption, while maintaining as low as possible costs.
