Application and Comparison of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Network Methods in Path Finding of Pipeline Water Transmission System, from Taleghan’s Dam to Hashtgerd New City, Tehran, Iran
These instructions give
you guidelines for preparing
determination of optimum path by considering technical and engineering, environment and cost
management visions.
In this point of view from Taleghan’s dam
to Hashtgerd
New City case study, we
need to distinguish and apply
the essential parameters such as topographic and morphologic conditions, environmental issues by consideration on sustainable development, population distribution patterns, roads and etc. by using base
map and extraction
of expected points geometrical location from Google Earth, position land surveying done. Then the mentioned co-parameters data layer loaded in GIS environment and after allocation the special
coefficient and value
for weighting parameters and combine them based on MCE method and the cost map made based on AHP method which Lead to determination of optimum path by using
LCPA method.
Paths include of ABFA path and two evaluated optimum path compared and indicated that two optimum
paths overlapped
mostly. Cost comparison between optimum path and ABFA path imply 14% decrease in expenditure
Which the main extra
expense of ABFA path due to more intersection with rivers, roads and necessity construct of
structures to keep water
natural regimes, passing unauthorized areas and personal parcels need to pay, path finding only by
personal experience
underestimating academic science, data analyzing software’s which Cause to increasing the length of
water supply
pipeline.
