Traditional textbooks on roadway designs focus on fundamental alignment elements and design criteria. When applying these in practice, engineers must try various design combinations, check whether the resulting alignments satisfy requirements, and evaluate their relative effectiveness. Introducing a systematic and efficient approach to optimize alignments, this essentially practical text emphasizes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in extensively automated highway design. Based on a series of research projects, it provides a thorough introduction to the mathematical models and solution algorithms for optimizing highway alignments, including horizontal, vertical, and three-dimensional alignments. The text is ideally suited to senior undergraduate or graduate students majoring in civil engineering or transportation management. Practicing highway design and transportation engineers will also find it of interest.
