Contemporary Network Theory: Concepts and Implications for Transportation Asset Management
This thesis proposes a novel working paradigm for transportation infrastructure asset management by viewing the transportation networks as key components (or nodes) of a broader network of resources, which includes infrastructure linked with society's ecological, social, and economic systems. An …

Data-Driven sequential decision making with learning under ambiguity
… problems for both single- and multi-component systems. We first consider the problem of optimally maintaining a periodically inspected system with multi-level preventive maintenance whose effects are complex. We formulate the problem as an infinite-horizon Markov decision process with the …
