Multi-Objective Decision-Making For Road Design

Multi-objective analysis is a popular tool to solve many economic, managerial and construction problems. The objective of this research is to develop and implement a methodology for multi-objective optimization of multi-alternative decisions in road construction. After a rough overview of the articles dealing with the multi-objective decision and assessment of road design alternatives described by discrete values, Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of the Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method was selected. This method focuses on a matrix of alternative responses on the objectives. A case study demonstrates the concept of multi-objective optimization of road design alternatives and the best road design alternative is determined.
