Computer-assisted resource access road route location
Robert A. Douglas, Bruce S. Henderson · Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering · 1988
The development of resource access road route location methods is outlined, leading to the conclusion that there is a need for an access road route location system which uses an overall optimization scheme, facilitates sensitivity analyses, can be implemented on widely available microcomputers, and can be easily integrated into geographic information systems. The algorithm for a microcomputer program, which is designed to fit this specification, is presented and tested with atypical route location problem. Key words: access roads, resource roads, route location, dynamic programming, microcomputers, optimization.
