Abstract:Navigation channels are critical maritime infrastructure that supports economic and recreational activities and intermodal freight supply chains, impacting broad areas of the hinterland. Maintenance of the maritime infrastructure is vital to the operations of the transportation system. Agencies like New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) face the big challenge of optimally allocating a limited budget while maintaining operations and achieving the desired level of service, given the complexity of spatially and temporally managing the hundreds of miles of navigation channels and CDFs in their jurisdiction. This project studies the strategic level maritime infrastructure asset management problem for planning of navigation channel maintenance dredging and dredged material management. Mathematical models and solution algorithms have been developed to prioritize channels and optimize channel dredging planning and dredged material management in confined disposal facilities (CDFs). In addition, a software called maritime asset management system (MAMS) has been developed to implement the methodological framework with analytical models. This report presents the mathematical model framework and introduces the details about the MAMS software. The MAMS has been in use by NJDOT and is expected to significantly save the dredging cost and facilitate the planning and management practice.
