Policies for the Dynamic Traveling Maintainer Problem with Alerts. (arXiv:2105.15119v2 [math.OC] UPDATED)

Downtime of industrial assets such as wind turbines and medical imaging
devices comes at a sharp cost. To avoid such downtime costs, companies seek to
initiate maintenance just before failure. Unfortunately, this is challenging
for the following two reasons: On the one hand, because asset failures are
notoriously difficult to predict, even in the presence of real-time monitoring
devices which signal early degradation. On the other hand, because the
available resources to serve a network of geographically dispersed assets are …
