Title Of Article :
Route Optimization in Linear Engineering Structures with Geographic Information Systems: The Case of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline
Abstract :
Route determination process is a complex process that requires analysis of many variables at the same time, and it is one of the important steps for all process in the Linear Engineering Structure (LES) projects. To promote LES optimally, the route should be identified in a most appropriate way. Firstly, the basic factors affecting the LES route should be determined. A degree of influence to route of each factor weights coefficient is determined, and they must be analyzed within the spatial basis. In this study, Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline routes have been determined and the weights of factors affect to route were calculated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). As a result of the study, benefits provided by Geographic Information System based AHP is evaluated for the determination of optimal routes determinations in the Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline works.
