Analysis of Hill Road Network Structure in Developing Countries
Journal Title: Invention Journal of Research Technology in Engineering & Management - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical road links and intersections in a road network which have a great influence on the road network. A framework of road network structure measurement model is proposed. The node importance number and the link importance number are introduced in this model to define road network structure. Using this model, the critical components of the road network can be identified. Then, necessary interventions in a road network can be designed to improve its structure either adding a new link/s or upgrading the properties of the existing link/s or node/s (e.g. geometry, safety, capacity). The road network of the hill town of Tansen in Nepal is analyzed by using this model. The network structure measurement method proposed in this paper can be generalized to hill road network in developing countries.
