Scheduling Forest Road Maintenance Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Heuristics
The management of low-volume roads has transitioned from focusing on maintenance designed to protect a capital investment in road infrastructure to also include environmental effects. In this study, two models using mathematical programming are applied to schedule forest road maintenance and upgrade activities involving non-monetary benefits. Model I uses a linear objective function formulation...
متن کاملAnalytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); Road Traffic Accident; Rescue; Air Transport
BACKGROUND: Timely delivery of emergency care and reducing the transmission time of injured people to health centers is very effective in reducing the number of deaths and injuries in accidents. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting road traffic accident relief in Iran with an emphasis on air transport. METHODS: The present study was performed through resorting to Mul...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Stakeholder Perception Differences in Forest Road Assessment Factors Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Many factors, with differing priority ratios, need to be assessed in the evaluation of forest roads. Stakeholder perceptions differ in the road assessment process and this research addresses those differences between academic and practitioner groups. The focus was on four main forest road assessment factor groups (technical, economic, environmental, and social) within 23 sub-factors to determin...
متن کاملThe Analytic Hierarchy Process
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), introduced by Thomas Saaty (1980), is an effective tool for dealing with complex decision making, and may aid the decision maker to set priorities and make the best decision. By reducing complex decisions to a series of pairwise comparisons, and then synthesizing the results, the AHP helps to capture both subjective and objective aspects of a decision. In a...
متن کاملUse of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process in Pavement Maintenance Planning
In pavement management, prioritized resource allocation is imperative given the fact that there is rarely enough funding with highway agencies to address all the pavement sections. In view of the complexity involved in the decision making process, subjective evaluation based on expert’s judgments is unavoidable. Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) has been applied by researchers to solve pavement ...
