GIS based map overlay method for comprehensive assessment of road environmental impact
TLDR
A Geographic Information System (GIS) based map overlay method is developed to analyze comprehensively the environmental vulnerability around road and its impact on the environment, which is adapted for the comprehensive assessment of road environmental impact and the optimal selection of road alignments.Abstract:
By integrating the merits of the map overlay method and the matrix method, a Geographic Information System (GIS) based map overlay method is developed to analyze comprehensively the environmental vulnerability around road and its impact on the environment, which is adapted for the comprehensive assessment of road environmental impact and the optimal selection of road alignments. The assessment process of the GIS based map overlay method and a detailed case study are presented, which include deciding the system structure and weights of assessment factors, making environmental vulnerability grade maps, calculating the respective coefficients of road impact extent for each factor, and evaluating the alternative alignments comprehensively to obtain the best one.read more

Pran Nath Dadhich,Shinya Hanaoka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the urban growth of Jaipur, with its spatial and temporal changes, was mapped over a period of 16 years (1989-2000 and 2000-2005) using Landsat satellite data.
Evaluation of alternatives in transportation planning using multi-stakeholders multi-objectives ahp modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to transport decision making and related social interest groups were modeled in the decision process to reflect social preference, relative importance of each attribute in AHP was modeled by combining engineering model with decision model.

A comparison of two methods for determining the weights of belonging to fuzzy sets
TL;DR: A weighted least-square method is utilized to obtain the weights of belonging of each member to the set, which has the advantage that it involves the solution of a set of simultaneous linear algebraic equations and is thus conceptually easier to understand than the eigenvector method.
