Abstract:Striping operations generate a significant workload for MoDOT maintenance operations. The requirement for each striping crew
to replenish its stock of paint and other consumable items from a bulk storage facility, along with the necessity to make several
passes on most of the routes to stripe all the lines on that road, introduce the potential for inefficiencies in the form of “deadhead
miles” that striping crew vehicles must travel while not actively applying pavement markings. These inefficiencies generate
unnecessary travel, wasted time, and vehicle wear.
This report updates a 2015 report that developed a decision support tool for scheduling and routing road striping operations. The
updates presented in this report improve the optimization model, and generate more user-friendly outputs.
