The need for cooperation in the planning of metropolitan trans­ portation facilities has taken on added significance as a result of the Interstate Road Program with its emphasis on arterial improvement in urban areas. A meeting to discuss this problem more fully was held in October 1958 at Syracuse University. This meeting, the National Conference on Highways and Urban Redevelopment (more commo...

GPS provides longitude, latitude, and elevation points and is already integrated into some highway data collection processes at the Kansas Department of Transportation. For instance, GPS tracks have been systematically collected on the 11,500 mile Kansas state highway system since 1997 as part of two separate data collection activities: videolog and pavement management. While not the primary pu...

A major responsibility of highway engineers is to provide for the public a highway system capable of accommodating vehicle and pedestrian travel in a safe, efficient, and economic manner. In developing this highway system, the engineer is responsible for the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of that system. In many instances the maintenance function is relegated to a mi...

Adding new corridors to a highway network represents a multicriteria decision process in which a variety of social, environmental and economic factors must be evaluated and weighted for a large number of corridor alternatives. This paper proposes a new bi-level continuous location model for expansion of a highway network by adding several highway corridors within a geographical region. The uppe...
