【 摘 要 】

This paper is aimed at developing a highway toll stations route optimization model (HTSROM) for cost-effective and sustainable highway infrastructure planning and design. There are many factors for the locations of highway toll stations, including potential ridership, costs of land, construction and operation, and travel times. We developed HTSROM algorithm which used a genetic model to optimize and integrate a geographic information system for transfer of land-use, environmental, and topographic data during the optimal search process. The experimental results are discussed on the application, and more extensions of the HTSROM model remain to be studied in the future work.
