A multi-objective analysis of a rural road network problem in the hilly regions of Nepal
https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6731-3894
Highlights New method for supporting the choice of rural roads to upgrade in hilly regions. The method focuses on both economic as well as social objectives. Applicability was tested in a real-world scenario: Gorkha district of Nepal. The model is easily extendable to rural areas of other developing countries.
Abstract This paper considers the rural road network upgrading problem, using a multi-objective optimization model, to support decision-makers in the choice of roads to upgrade in the hilly regions of Nepal. The model considers two objectives: minimization of user operation costs and maximization of population covered. The problem was solved for a real-world rural road network in the Gorkha district of Nepal. For this case, all non-dominated solutions were obtained and the ones providing more interesting trade-offs were analysed. The model was found suitable for the case under study, and possibly, easily extendable to rural areas of other developing countries.
