Abstract
- The formulation of the highway network design problem (NDP) as a bilevel linear program (BLP) allows more realistic solutions taking into account the reaction of users 10 improvements made by the system. In this paper, a conceptual framework for the optimization of investments in inter-regional highway networks in developing countries is proposed. The model is applied to the Tunisian network using actual data. Considerable effort was expended to make the implementation as realistic as possible, taking into consideration travel times, operating costs, accident costs, improvement costs, conservation laws, and effects of intra-regional flows. A new formulation allowing the incorporation of any improvement cost functions, including non-convex and non-concave functions, is introduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
