Application of analytic hierarchy process in the selection of transit route for large-scale cargo transportation

The selection of the optimized transit route is the prime task in the early stage of large-scale cargo transportation. The article first discusses in detail the principles and process of the selection of transit route for large-scale cargo transportation, and then, the analytic hierarchy process is applied, in combination of Matlab mathematical software, to establish a mathematical model for the selection of the optimized transit route of large-scale cargo transportation which can be used to solve the problem of routes optimization of an actual project. This evaluation model is proved to be stable and effective by the project evaluation, and provides a simple practical method for engineering and technical personnel in route optimization.
