Dynamic traffic management (DTM) is acknowledged in various policy documents as an important instrument to improve network performance. This network performance is not only a matter of accessibility, since the externalities of traffic are becoming more and more important objectives as well. Optimization of network performance using DTM measures is a specific example of a network design problem ...

Two multicriterion decision-making methods, namely ‘compromise programming’ and the ‘technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution’ are employed to prioritise 22 micro-catchments (A1 to A22) of Kherthal catchment, Rajasthan, India and comparative analysis is performed using the compound parameter approach. Seven criteria – drainage density, bifurcation ratio, stream frequenc...

The purpose of this article is to introduce a new scheme for robust multivariate ranking by making use of a not so familiar notion called monotonicity. Under this scheme, as in the case of classical outward ranking, we get an increasing sequence of regions diverging away from a central region (may be a single point) as nucleus. The nuclear region may be deened as the median region.
