This research developed a methodology to optimize roadway access intersection design using an expert system to guide design in accordance with published criteria, a graphical multi-criteria evaluation system, which revealed marginal impacts of changing design parameters across three objective functions (delay, safety, and cost); and intelligent techniques, which suggested design parameter changes and found optimal solutions.
