Abstract EN
A mixed transportation network design problem considering sustainable development was studied in this paper.
Based on the discretization of continuous link-grade decision variables, a bilevel programming model was proposed to describe the problem, in which sustainability factors, including vehicle exhaust emissions, land-use scale, link load, and financial budget, are considered.
The objective of the model is to minimize the total amount of resources exploited under the premise of meeting all the construction goals.
A heuristic algorithm, which combined the simulated annealing and path-based gradient projection algorithm, was developed to solve the model.
The numerical example shows that the transportation network optimized with the method above not only significantly alleviates the congestion on the link, but also reduces vehicle exhaust emissions within the network by up to 41.56%.
