Evaluation of Nodes Importance in of Highway Transportation Hubs Planning Based on Fuzzy-AHP

Abstract:

Nodes importance evaluation is the element of transportation network planning. From the aspects of society and economy, highway traffic volume, traffic location, an evaluation system on nodes importance and traffic location of Highway Transportation Junction is established. For the accuracy of evaluation, Fuzzy-AHP is applied to calculate weight of each indicator as fuzziness is existed when factors are compared mutually. Besides, case study is made in Shandong Province, results demonstrate that it is scientific and feasible for planning of highway transportation hubs.
