Outline
Outline
 Defining Route Selection
 Data Collection (Desk study followed by field
reconnaissance)
 Defining project goals and objectives
 Identification of possible Alternative routes
 Preliminary study and design of alternative routes
for comparison
 Multi-level criteria analysis for route selection

 Route selection is a Process of Selecting the best
and feasible alternative Route of a Project.
It have 4 essential Steps
 Project Identification
 Selection of route Corridor
 Identification of route options within the corridor
 Selection of the preferred route option
Route selection:

Data Collection
Data Collection
 Data collection is a process carried out both by desk
study and field reconnaissance. The desk study consists
of identifying sources of information, collecting
necessary information and analyzing and summarizing
the identified and collected data.

Verification and amendment of desk study information
Collection of additional data and information shall be
conducted
The field reconnaissance consists of visual inspection of the
site and conducting of Early Local Issues Meeting with the
officials and the public in the localities
Local information may be gathered by conducting initial public
outreach which aims at reaching a broad spectrum of
interested parties through early informational meeting and
continuous meetings at strategic milestones

members
To evaluate the comments and incorporate into the project
planning
Individual outreach meetings
There may be key individuals, local officials, agencies,
advocacy groups, and “Yager shimagiles” who may be worth
seeking out for valuable input (often identified at the local issues
meeting). Any significant issues concerned with understanding

Project Goals and Objectives
Project Goals and Objectives
From information obtained during data collection and the input
received at the Early Local Issues Meeting (as discussed below),
the team will define goals and objectives for the project
consistent with the plans and policies of the state and local
community.
This statement will be the crux of the definition and evaluation
of alternatives and the development of the planning and
route selection.

Project Goals and Objectives
Project Goals and Objectives
The project goals and objectives include basic information about
the project road expressed in terms of
Set of alternative project control towns, and villages
Functional classification of the road which is related to the
most common types and purposes of travels and trips
Geometric design standard of the road: which is related to
the forecasted traffic volume (expressed in terms of AADT),
and economical feasibility on the basis of the proposed
standard. The geometric standard determines the design
speeds, roadway dimensions (horizontal and vertical
alignment, and cross section elements) and generally the
physical characteristics of the roadway.
Classification by type of area and corresponding types and
requirements of road users. Different objectives shall be set
for the different types of area in the project section (rural,
urban and peri-urban, etc)

Preliminary Screening of Possible alternatives
The alternative routes are then evaluated and screened giving due consideration to the
towns and villages in the TOR and identified in consultation with the Weredas’ officials and
community elders to limit their number to a maximum of three for ease of analysis,
comparison and selection. Accordingly,
 Alternative A-1 connect all the towns and villages identified above except Nejate
and Kus villages including Aseko town, Irecha vilage, Chefe kebele, Teleta town,
Dibu village, and Bedeyi town, Considering this, the alternative is considered as
feasible alternative route for comparison and selection.
 Alternative A-2 connect all the towns and villages identified above except Dibu
village including Aseko town, Irecha vilage, Chefe kebele, Teleta town, Nejate
village, Ata village and Bedeyi town, Considering this, the alternative is considered
as feasible alternative route for comparison and selection.
 Alternative A-3 connect all the towns and villages identified above including Aseko
town, Irecha vilage, Chefe kebele, Dibu village, Teleta town, Nejate village, Kus
village and Bedeyi town, Considering this, the alternative is considered as feasible
alternative route for comparison and selection.
 Alternative A-4 doesn’t connect Teleta towns, Nejate village and Kus village
identified above including Aseko town, Irecha vilage, Chefe kebele, Dibu village
and Bedeyi town. Considering this, the alternative isnot considered as feasible
alternative route for comparison and selection.
