Evaluation of Traffic Organization Scheme during Highway Reconstruction Period

Article Preview

Abstract:

An appropriate traffic organization scheme of highway reconstruction can ensure the normal operation of the traffic flow, and reduce the influence of reconstruction. Based on evaluation principles, this paper will analysis and screen index systems such as level of service, negative economic benefit and traffic environmental impact. The evaluation criterion of each index will be ascertained based on existing research results of level of service for highway. Then an integrated approach combined with dynamic comprehensive evaluation and analytic hierarchy process is proposed to evaluate the traffic organization during the highway construction. Last, we combine an example of a highway reconstruction project to analysis the proposed integrated approach.
