Abstract

In maintenance of (public) infrastructures, such as the national highway network, an asset manager is responsible for high network quality and throughput, while limiting expenses to a minimum. The maintenance activities, however, are often performed by commercial contractors, mainly driven by profit. Using a network-based payment mechanism we align the objectives of both stakeholders. Nonetheless, this greatly increases the complexity of planning maintenance activities, rendering it very difficult for human planners to develop (near-)optimal maintenance plans. We demonstrate a support tool that facilitates multiagent planning for contractors so that they can coordinate their activities with other contractors in the network. This tool is initially intended as a serious game to create awareness and support amongst practitioners concerning this novel network-based coordination. In later stages we foresee great potential in the use of our tool as part of future dynamic contracting procedures.
