Abstract

A computer simulation method of economically optimising motorway lamp replacement and maintenance policies is developed. The model samples from the bi-modal Weibull distribution using the rejection method. Expected unit costs for different maintenance policies are compared and optimised. Special attention is paid to r-in-a-row replacement policies.
