Abstract:

Transportation alignment is a very complex process. The selection of a route for a highway should take into account topography, soil conditions, socioeconomic factors, environmental impacts, and construction, operation and maintenance costs. To arrive at the optimum route, these factors can be considered through a cost function. The present paper makes a review on the various components of the cost function for the selection of the optimum route for a highway in cost heterogeneous terrain. The development of a cost map for a cost heterogeneous terrain has been demonstrated.
