AI-Enabled Performance-Based Procurement and Life-Cycle Maintenance of Highway Bridges: Integrating Single-Bid Risk Analytics and PPP Payment Optimization

Model-based life-cycle evaluation indicates that AI-optimized PPP contracts reduce bridges reaching emergency condition by 30%–40% over a 30-year horizon while lowering life-cycle costs by 8%–12% compared with rule-based policies, providing infrastructure agencies and private concessionaires with an integrated AI-driven life-cycle management platform.
