Abstract：

Based　on　theories　of　optimization　for　the　route　of　heavy　cargo　transportation　on　roads　and　operating　characteristics　of　heavy　cargo　transportation,　an　objective　function　which　incorporates　risk　cost　is　developed　for　heavy　cargo　transportation.　In　order　to　analyze　the　optimal　route　more　clearly　and　conveniently,　connectivity　and　network　parameters　such　as　blocking　and　restraint　were　defined　in　the　Transcad　software.　Based　on　road　sections,　results　minimizing　total　cost,　including　risk　cost,　are　presented.　An　example　verifies　the　feasibility　of　the　model.　©　2010　ASCE.
