GOAL-PROGRAMMING APPROACH TO MULTIOBJECTIVE HIGHWAY NETWORK DESIGN MODEL (ABRIDGEMENT)

A new approach to the highway network design model is presented that allows comparisonsof networks on the basis of multiple incommensurable objectives with different degrees of importance. The goal-programming approach is not only capable of solving the multiobjective network design problem in a relatively efficient manner, but it can also be used to generate the multidimensional trade-off curve that provides additional important information to that provided in the two-dimensional curve derived by using the linear programming model. An example illustrates the application of the linear goal-programming model with four objectives. (Author)
