An Approach for Determining Rules used to Select Viable Junction Design Alternatives Based on Multiple Objectives
Abstract:
Transport planners and engineers frequently face the challenge to determine the best design for a specific junction. Many road design manuals provide guidelines for the design and evaluation of different junction alternatives, however these mostly refer to specialized software in which the performances of design alternatives can be modelled. In the first stage of the…

Design Optimization of Open Office Building Form for Thermal Energy Performance using Genetic Algorithm
Abstract:
Consideration of building energy performance in the early stage of the design process is very important to help minimizing energy consumed by the built environment. Therefore, help in minimizing energy crisis problem. Optimization of building form and orientation at the early stage of the design process can save a significant amount of energy consumed by…
