139 Part III Maintenance optimisation of multi-state components III.1 Introduction Part III focuses on Maintenance Policy Optimisation (MPO) of components with Multi-State Deterioration via Deep Reinforcement Learning, with applications to sewer mains. The general research question we address here is how can near-optimal maintenance strategies be devised for components with Multi-State Deterioration such as sewer mains using Deep Reinforcement Learning? This part is structured as follows: Section III.2 summarises the nomenclature used in Part III. Section III.3 reviews the related work common to all chapters. Section III.4 presents the formal definitions used in Part III. The chapter contained here is: Chapter 7.
