| Abstract | This research studies the performance of multi-period network planning under traffic uncertainty. The study is based on existing frameworks for multi-period network planning method (Geary et al., 2001a) and network performance evaluation under traffic uncertainty (Geary et al., 2001b). All results in this research are based on information in a case study in which some parts of it are assumed to simplify the overall process. The final results of this research allow us to observe relations of multi-period planning methods and their performances based on the percentage of system-wide overload and investment cost. From the results in the research, we observe that the O3 approach, which is planning based on the final year's traffic, is suitable for network planning if minimum system-wide overload is required on early years. In addition, this approach is also suitable for small discount factors for equipment costs. The O1+ approach, which is year-by-year planning, is suitable for network planning if minimum system-wide overload is required after early years. In addition, this approach is also suitable for large discount factors. The O2+ approach, as a hybrid approach, has low system-wide overloads on early and last years. In addition, this approach is suitable for medium discount factors. Finally, if we consider the average of system-wide overload over all years, we notice that the O2+ approach gives the lowest system-wide overload. |
