Highway design by constraint specification
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Finally, a partially new model is defined and applied to this problem. Outputs and inputs of an implemented prototype are shown.

The resource-constraint project scheduling problem of the project subcontractors in a cooperative environment: Highway construction case study
Large-scale projects often have several activities which are performed by subcontractors with limited multi-resources. Project scheduling with limited resources is one of the most famous problems in the research operations and optimization cases. The resource-constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem in which the activities of a project must be scheduled to reduce the p...
متن کاملAMIS: Development and Application of a GIS/Multicriteria Corridor Evaluation Methodology
This paper describes the design and evolution of a GIS-based corridor route planning methodology called Analytic Minimum Impedance Surface (AMIS). A local State Highway Agency (SHA) requested an analytic methodology that would facilitate choice of a route corridor for a section of a proposed Interstate highway connector in the southeastern U.S. The SHA’s specification demanded a robust, quantit...
متن کاملSome Considerations in Bituminous Mix Design Awaiting Implementation in Highway Construction
Bituminous mix design is a delicate balancing act between the proportions of aggregate sizes and bitumen content. For a given aggregate gradation, the optimum bitumen content is estimated by satisfying a number of mix design parameters recommended in the specifications. In this paper, some of new considerations related to the bituminous mix design are discussed. Bituminous mix design, with thes...
متن کاملMinimizing the maximum curvature of quadratic Bézier curves with a tetragonal concave polygonal boundary constraint
In curve design such as highway design andmotion planning of autonomous vehicles, it may be important to minimize the maximum curvature. In this paper we address the problem of minimizing the maximum curvature of a quadratic Bézier curve within a boundary constraint determined by a tetragonal concave polygon. The curve is parameterized by lengths between its control points, called the ‘‘control...
متن کاملOn Specifying the Reactive Behavior on Constraint Violations
Recent approaches to integrity enforcement in active databases suggest not only to check for inconsistencies by triggers but also to utilize triggers to perform repair actions on constraint violations. Typically, respective repairing triggers are derived automatically from constraint specifications following almost fixed derivation strategies. However, in order to incorporate more semantic know...
