Mathematical Modeling and Simulation of Energy-Constrained Pavement Crack Maintenance Using XFEM-Based Crack Evolution and AI-Driven Repair Strategy Optimization

Research focus and approach

Pavement maintenance decisions must account for crack development and the resources required for repair. This study combines XFEM-based crack evolution with AI-driven repair-strategy optimisation in a mathematical modelling and simulation framework. Energy constraints provide a further dimension to the maintenance-planning problem.
