SELECTION OF INTERCITY TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS UNDER THE VERITY BUDGET SCENARIOS IN TURKEY
AbstractTransportation area are rapidly growing in the Turkey. There are more transportation projects different area such as bridge, highway, urban transport, rail systems and inter-city transport projects. Highspeed rail and rapid train projects are one of these projects for intercity transport. Intercity transport is very important for people in terms of travel time and safe, are variety projects in this area. The allocated budget to this area is finite; thus, integration, demand, population, regional development and budget limitations should be considered to choose the most valuable project in the best ranking. This paper investigates an application study from a high-speed rail and rapid train projects in Turkey to selection the most suitable projects for rail transport network. An application consists of planned highspeed rail projects and rapid train projects and the goal is to find the most suitable and the best advantage projects in Turkey. In this paper, it used analytic hierarchy process(AHP) to find the weight of the identified criteria for the rail systems in first step. Then it is presented a zero-one goal programming (ZOGP) model to optimize and schedule the implementation procedure on the project budget and special limitation. Finally, the best suitable projects are selected among the planned highspeed rail and rapid train projects with variety budget scenarios for intercity transportation.
