Broad band route selection by program BRUTUS: test on a selection of motorway

A computerized method has been developed jointly by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory and University College London to locate promising routes for new roads within a broad band of interest. It is intended for use at an early stage of road design and it is called brutus (broad band route selection). The report outlines the method and describes a successful test on a motorway design.
