Highway Alignment

Research on highway alignment optimization has been quite intensive over the last two decades. Determining the best candidate for highway alignment is one of the most complex highway design stages due to the different effects of various parameters. Hence, in the present study, Analytic Hierarchy Process technique and Geographic Information System are proposed to determine the best highway candidate with special focus on the constraint, cost and safety criteria. The methodology presented in the current research is not limited to the constraint, cost and safety criteria but can be extended to other criteria. This methodology has been implemented on a case study region in northwestern of Iran, and therefore the constraint, cost and safety criteria have been obtained for the case study conditions. The final result of the current paper indicates that the optimal highway candidate obtained with the proposed methodology can concurrently satisfy all relative parameters in highway alignment optimization based on their impact.

With the recent fast economy development and rapid urbanization, the huge generation of construction waste has become a threat to sustainable development in China. Though efforts have been made to promote reuse and recycling of construction waste, landfilling of waste remains the most commonly adapted approach for construction waste disposal. As the space for landfills is limited and because of the negative issues in terms of environmental and social aspects that may be caused, the appropriate site selection of landfills is crucial. With this background, this paper aims to establish a framework for facilitating landfill selection for construction waste. To begin with, a total of sixteen factors that may influence landfill site selection were identified from a literature review. Then, based on the combined analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy method, the weights and the final comprehensive scores of the identified factors were calculated. According to the derived results, potential sites for landfills were divided into three levels, namely the most appropriate (0.38%), appropriate (17.58%), and inappropriate (82.04%). The proposed decision-making methods in this paper can provide a valuable reference for the selection of construction waste landfill sites.
