“…The S-AHP routes are shown in Figure 5(a) and (b), the S-TOPSIS analysis (LCPA) is particularly useful for this purpose. The LCPA method allows the user to find the cheapest path from one point to another over a cost or friction surface (Mahini & Abedian, 2014).…”

In accordance with current demands, the natural gas transmission pipeline (NGTP) is one of the most appropriate methods used in the distribution of existing reserves. Construction of long-distance pipelines requires large expenditures. Decreasing the time and cost of such construction and minimising environmental damage depend upon identifying the optimum routes from the onset of the project. Route determination is one of the most important steps in NGTP projects. The route determination process requires obtaining the existing graphic and non-graphic data from different institutions and organisations, as well as gathering, storing, querying and analysing non-existing data in an appropriate and efficient manner. Accessing the correct results rapidly by analysing such large data-sets can be achieved with spatial multicriteria decision-making technologies based on the geographic information system as an effective decision support tool. In this study, three methods were implemented for two NGTP projects of 103.60 and 60.89 km in length. At the end of this study, it was concluded that Spatial technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution was the most effective of the three pipeline routing methods and that it could reduce project costs by approximately 21%.

“…The output file is called stability map. Designing trails on instable land zones may lead to choose the routes with high skidding cost and environmental risk (Mahini, Abedian 2014). Several skid trails with the total length of 6.5 km were designed and tracked in a field survey by GPS on the stable area.…”

Parsakhoo A., Mostafa M., Shataee S., Lotfalian M. (2017): Decision support system to find a skid trail network for extracting marked trees. J. For. Sci., 63: 62-69.Careful planning of skid trails as wood extraction routes in forests is an ongoing task and necessary for minimizing the environmental damage. The main objective of this study is to find skid trails to extract marked trees from stand sites to landing sites using a GIS-based decision support system (DSS) and network analysis techniques, where environmental information is incorporated into the objective. The techniques were applied in a stand where single trees are felled in near-to-nature conditions. This system is called a single tree selection cutting method. Parameters considered for mapping the terrain stability include slope, soil and stream network. The analytical hierarchy process was used to estimate the weights of these parameters. Routing between marked trees and log landing was done using a GPS-tracking survey and then the analysis was done using new route and service area tools in GIS. The service area tool shows accessibility of marked trees by skid trails. Results showed that on average the length of the route decreased by 6.65 and 19.22% with the use of a new route tool in compartments 29 and 4, respectively. In conclusion, DSS techniques increased accessibility of marked trees and decreased the length of the route.

Abstract. Population explosion in the city of Johor Bahru has led to traffic congestions, which hitherto to that there were better movements and flow of vehicles in and around the city. Road transportation in particular has played a gargantuan role in creating and maintaining easy and quick access to various destinations. Increases in the number of vehicle indicate a higher economic prosperity that contributes to traffic congestion within the city. This can be seen in a number of developments such as increased population density and creation of alternative routes over several years, which has still not totally eradicated the traffic congestion problems of the city. Ideally, a good public transport service would carry the passenger directly from their origin to their destination without having to face traffic congestion. The buses may not be available and accessible from certain origins or destinations of residents or they may need to walk some distances from their residents to the bus stops resulting into discouragement for most of the people using public transport services. This paper aims to utilise geospatial analysis approach to suggest effective bus routing that would be able to increase connectivity to rural areas and boost commercial activities through better transportation. Route selection is the process of finding locations that meet the selection criteria for each parameter using Geographic Information System (GIS). The process employs applied multi-criteria decision analysis and network analysis to generate thpsye highest score areas for bus rapid transit (BRT) route by maximising network and mobility and ensuring the newly suggested routes are connected to the existing networks of BRT to serve the community.
