Title
Multi-stage optimization for periodic inspection planning of geo-distributed infrastructure systems.
Abstract
•A method for finding inspection intervals of geo-distributed infrastructure systems is proposed.•The system is partitioned into groups based on pre-specified features.•The group’s inspection interval is first computed based on the expected cost per cycle.•We find the system inspection schedule considering the workforce and budget constraints.•An integer program and a heuristics are introduced to determine the inspection schedule.
