Abstract

It is necessary to study the long-term and dynamic relationships or interactions between the highway and stakeholders such as operator, government department and users in planning the highway maintenance system. The system dynamics method is adopted to model the long-term and dynamic relationships among the highway and stakeholders. The causal loop diagram and stock-flow diagram for the system dynamics model is developed based on the quantitative relationships among relevant variables such as pavement performance, total costs, maintenances policies, threshold to initiate maintenance operations, yearly government investment scheme and subsidy allocation rule, and users’ attitude. Application of the proposed system dynamics model is demonstrated through a case study. This study provides an alternative platform to help stakeholders plan and evaluate maintenance polices and relevant management mechanisms from the perspective of a long time period.
