"Machine learning-assisted optimal schedule of underground water pipe inspection"

There are over 2.2 million miles of underground water pipes serving the cities in the United States. Many are in poor conditions and deteriorate rapidly. Inspection provides crucial information for pipe condition assessment and maintenance plan; it, however, is very expensive for underground pipes due to accessibility issues. Therefore, water agencies commonly face the challenge to 1) decide whether it is worthwhile to schedule expensive water pipe inspections under financial constraints, and 2) if so, how to optimize the inspection schedule to maximize its value. This study leverages the physical model and data-based ML (ML) models for underground water pipe failure prediction to shed light on these two important questions for decision making.
