This book systematically addresses the issue of interdependence
between road projects in a network, when prioritising and
scheduling road expansion and maintenance. The book presents
substantial applications for both rural and urban projects and to
the optimization of maintenance. The authors confirm the extreme
sensitivity to project timing but also show that solutions with
almost equal net present values may have dissimilar work schedules.
One of these may be selected on environmental or other grounds
without losing road user benefits. They go on to explore and
demonstrate the issues associated with the integration of
evolutionary computing technique, transport modelling and cost -
benefit analysis to achieve an optimal road investment timetable.
Demonstrating the application of evolutionary computing technique
to an exceptionally complex problem in the real business world,
Cost - Benefit Analysis and Evolutionary Computing will be of great
value to academics and those practitioners and researchers
interested in addressing the classic issue of evaluating road
expansion and maintenance programs.
