Effect of Objective Function on the Optimization of Highway Vertical Alignment by Means of Metaheuristic Algorithms
The main purpose of this work is the comparison of several objective functions for optimization of the vertical alignment. To this end, after formulation of optimum vertical alignment problem based on different constraints, the objective function was considered as four forms including: 1) the sum of the absolute value of variance between the vertical alignment and the existing ground; 2) the su...
متن کاملAesthetics of Highway Design
There is a danger in looking at highway design strictly from the viewpoint of aesthetics without indicating how this relates to other phases of design. An optimum design is only possible when the stand ards of structural design, geometric design, and aesthetic design are integrated and in perfect balance with each other. However, not being qualified to discuss structural or geometric design, n...
متن کاملHighway design by constraint specification
This paper describes the application of AI techniques to the problem of designing civil engineering objects like highways or roads. These design processes must cope with a complex environment, and constraints and alternatives are not predefined, but chosen during the process of designing. Several abstract models of design are presented and their applicability to road design is discussed. Finall...
متن کاملA Family of Methods for Preliminary Highway Alignment
The alignment of a highway is usually determined in two or even three stages. The preliminary stage, also referred to as the corridor selection, is concerned with finding a piecewise linear trajectory, which is refined in the higher stages. In this paper we present a family of methods for this preliminary design, which includes some published methods and some new ones. The new methods shown wer...
متن کاملHighway Alignment Optimization Using Cost-Benefit Analysis Under User Equilibrium
Usually, selection of a highway alignment depends on an economical route that minimizes alignment sensitive costs, such as construction cost, user cost, right-of-way cost, and earthwork cost. Most of the available highway alignment optimization algorithms do not consider traffic assignment and distribution of traffic as a result of the new road network consisting of the new alignment as well as...
