Abstract:

A pilot application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for the measurement of the efficiency of highway maintenance patrols is demonstrated. Selection of pertinent factors is discussed and the potential benefits of the analysis listed. A bounded DEA model is constructed and results are compared to those obtained from a conventional DEA model. The effects of secondary factors on the relative efficiencies of patrols are examined by analyses of sub-groups of Decision Making Units (DMUs), differing in the intensities of the respective factors.
