A study on TNB transmission line route sustainability and suitability using GIS-AHP

摘要

This study defines the sustainable and suitable route planning for transmission line by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based on Geographical Information System (GIS) approached. The criteria needed to be taken into account to define the route of the transmission line were evaluated with expert who doing this business in the available system for this study. For determine of the suitable route, many factors which affect the route should be considered all together. Some of these factors are (i) technical factors (ii) environmental factors (iii) social-economic factors. Each of these factors basically corresponds to a spatial dataset. Routes defined with AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) to minimize economic, environmental and time cost and depending on the quality of data used.
