摘要
En 中文
A horizontal alignment can be represented by three key factors: number of horizontal points of intersection (HPIs), their locations, and corresponding horizontal curve radii. Deciding all the three factors simultaneously requires extensive effort, which is not practically feasible in the manual alignment development process. Most available computer-aided methods prioritize some or all the three factors in the automated alignment development processes. However, approximation in HPI location or pre-selection of HPI number and curve radius are the few limitations of these methods. This study presents a modified motion-planning based algorithm for developing new horizontal alignments with optimized costs and impacts. It simultaneously uses a low-discrepancy sampling technique to develop increasingly dense potential HPIs, rapidly exploring random trees to find a suitable number of intermediate HPIs at appropriate locations and sequential quadratic algorithm to select optimally fitted curve radii. The proposed algorithm is integrated with the GIS database for realistic location-dependent cost and environmental impact assessment. Two real-world study areas were selected to compare the results with the one reported in the literature and to evaluate backtracking capability. Results indicated the proficiency of the proposed algorithm in developing new alignments. The sensitivity analyses revealed the effect of design speed and right-of-way width on the alignment generation. The proposed algorithm can automate the new horizontal highway alignment development process and support highway engineers in planning and development.
