Approach for Optimizing 3D Highway Alignments Based on Two-stage Dynamic Programming

Journal of Software, 2013
Optimizing highway alignments is a very complex engineering problem. None of existing methods has totally solved the problem In this paper we build an optimization model for highway 3D alignment based on two-stage dynamic programming, in which the comprehensive cost and design constraints are embedded.
