  • Budget Allocation for Dredging Project Selection to Maximize Waterway System Capacity Improvement
    Abstract: This paper concerns budget allocation to dredging projects at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Among a large number of projects requested, only a subset may be selected for funding. The benefit of one dredging project depends on other projects in order to maintain the system carrying capacity; thereby selecting a number of ports among all potentials should be considered as an interdependent problem. This paper proposes integer programming models and solution algorithms to select dredging projects to fund. The models consider the waterway network topology to improve the overall system capacity. The solution algorithms ensure efficient computational performance and quality of solutions. The models and algorithms are tested with the Great Lakes region and inland waterways data and are shown to significantly improve on the current practices, especially when the budget becomes tight.

    Submit a Discussion

    Attendees are welcome to submit a written discussion of any paper presented at the Annual Meeting. Written discussions will be considered for publication in the TRB Transportation Research Record series along with the paper being discussed. The author of the paper is given the opportunity to submit a written closure to the discussion. Please notify Rosa Allen at TRB by February 1, if you plan to submit a written discussion. When this notification is received, TRB staff will verify that the paper being discussed will be published and will provide the most recent version of the paper. This notification is therefore critical to ensure that all prepared discussions are used and to address issues in the most recent version of the paper in question.

    The discussion manuscript should be submitted to Rosa Allen by April 15 in electronic format as a Microsoft Word file (6.0 or later version). For the criteria used for discussions and for information on how to submit discussions for papers, see the Information for Authors document online at the TRB Annual Meeting website, under the Participant and Attendee Guides.
