A Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating the Feasibility of Upgrading Road Category Based On Analytic Hierarchy Process - Case Study in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia

摘要

The gap between the financing needs to the funding allocated by the state resultedudin local government is hard to manage the road infrastructure. Solution offered is to change the category from district/municipally roads into provincial funded road and/or provincially roads into state funded roads. Since, there is no actual reference to these changes; this paper suggests a comprehensive assessment framework that enables to take a number of major quantitative and qualitative factors into consideration. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to evaluate and rank these road segments with respect to prescribed criterions. Four road segments in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia were subjected into 7 criterions with diverse metrics. Ranging from ???flow function??? to ???support system???, criterions defined by professional serve as multi-objective decision environment where sophisticated method such as AHP may play an appropriate role and consistently lead toward the final decision.
