Abstract

The ability to identify and collect low-volume roads’ data, especially gravel roads, is critical in transportation planning. Developing an effective method for gravel-road data collection allows both decision-makers and local agencies to efficiently obtain information regarding road conditions. In this study, a geographical information system (GIS)-based decision- support system was applied to assist local agencies in determining reliable access routes to all gravel roads in Wyoming. The routing criteria were developed using the Network Analyst tool of ArcGIS software based on the restrictions on average daily traffic (ADT) volume values, speed limits, driving distances and driving hours per day. Results indicated that the routing maps created by ArcGIS software were an easy-to-use method to plan and schedule data collection on gravel roads. The routing analysis provided a reliable means to minimize driving time and distance. The methodology developed in this study may be employed by local transportation agencies for road-maintenance purposes in rural areas. KEYWORDS: Low-volume roads, Gravel roads, Route optimization, ArcGIS, Data collection.

将多准则路径优化与ArcGIS集成用于砾石道路数据采集

识别和收集低流量道路数据的能力，尤其是砾石道路，在交通规划中至关重要。开发一种有效的砾石道路数据收集方法，可以让决策者和地方机构有效地获得有关道路状况的信息。在这项研究中，基于地理信息系统（GIS）的决策支持系统被应用于帮助地方机构确定通往怀俄明州所有碎石路的可靠通道。路线标准是使用ArcGIS软件的网络分析工具根据对平均每日交通量（ADT）值、速度限制、行驶距离和每天行驶时间的限制制定的。结果表明，ArcGIS软件创建的路线图是一种易于使用的方法，可以规划和安排砾石道路上的数据收集。路线分析提供了一种可靠的方法来最大限度地减少驾驶时间和距离。本研究中开发的方法可供当地交通机构用于农村地区的道路维护。关键词：低流量道路，碎石路，路线优化，ArcGIS，数据采集。
