Abstract

Pursuing three important elements including economic, safety, and traffic are the overall objective of decision evaluation across all transport projects. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of the development of city interchanges and road connections for network users. To achieve this goal, a series of minor goals are required to be met in advance including determining benefits, costs of implement-ing new highway interchanges, quantifying the effective parameters, the increase in fuel consumption, the reduction in travel time, and finally influence on travel speed. In this study, geometric advancement of Hakim highway, and Yadegar-e-Emam Highway were investigated in the Macro view from the cloverleaf inter-section with a low capacity to a three-level directional intersection of the enhanced cloverleaf. For this purpose, the simulation was done by EMME software of INRO Company. The results of the method were evaluated by the objective of net present value (NPV), and the benefit and cost of each one was stated precisely in different years. At the end, some suggestion has been provided.
