Abstract

This report uses AHP method to determine the weight of each element, using raster computing to build cost grid, running GIS spatial analysis function to analyse. After that, the cost path between the two provides the basis for route alignment. The GIFFNOCK to DARVEL route alignment is taken as an example to verify this method.

Keywords

Geographic information system (GIS), Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Route alignment
