Application of Road Selection Model for Transportation Improvement in Informal Settlements

The Road Selection Model was developed for the purpose of transportation improvement in informal settlements that minimises demolition of houses and compensation costs required in roads widening. The need of the model was to guide and support decision makers on challenges of widening narrow roads for accessibility and mobility improvement as part of upgrading informal settlements. This paper explains how the model was applied to produce meaningful results for decision making on roads selection and henceforth its relevance for replication in roads selection for improvement in informal settlements.
