Abstract:

This paper discusses using search trees and decision trees in transportation planning and analysis. Decision trees are a formal decision support methodology that is often seen in business and the healthcare fields. However, they are seldom seen, in the formal sense, in transportation planning and analysis. This paper briefly discusses decision trees, including the definition of a decision tree and the method of construction a decision tree. The paper also discusses the advantages of decision trees and provides an example of how a decision tree is applicable to systems planning.
