SETTING PRIORITIES OF HIGHWAY PROJECTS BY SUCCESSIVE SUBSETTING TECHNIQUE

The development of a technique that can be used to set priorities within a given work category of highway improvement projects is described. After impact categories have been developed, respective priority evaluation measures assess the importance of specific projects within each impact category. The proposed technique of successive subsetting combines the impacts of each candidate project in a work category to determine which projects should be implemented for a given budget. A sample problem consisting of a group of bridge replacement projects is presented to illustrate the application of the technique. (Author)
