Humans account for cognitive costs when finding shortcuts: An information-theoretic analysis of navigation. by Gian Luca Lancia, Mattia Eluchans, Marco D'Alessandro, Hugo J Spiers, Giovanni Pezzulo

“…When faced with navigating back somewhere we have been before we might either retrace our steps or seek a shorter path. Both choices have costs. Here, we ask whether it is possible to characterize formally the choice of navigational plans as a bounded rational process that trades off the quality of the plan (e.g., its length) and the cognitive cost required to find and implement it. …”

Life-Cycle Maintenance Cost Model for Concrete Bridges Using Markovian Deterioration Curves by Kleopatra Petroutsatou, Theodora Vagdatli, Nikolaos Louloudakis, Panagiotis Panetsos

“…Actual records of 72 concrete bridges from motorways in Northern Greece were collected, documenting different detected defect types, condition states, and associated maintenance costs over time. Two discrete-time Markov-chain models for the bridge’s superstructure and substructure were produced, allowing for the prediction of maintenance costs that align with the given structural condition throughout its operational life. …”
