DESCRIPTION:Prof. Antonio Pais ANTUNES\, University of Coimbra (PT)\nThe r
 oad network of many countries suffers from severe lack of capacity\, and n
 eed to be significantly enhanced in the near future. This is\, in particul
 ar\, the case of Brazil\, China\, and India\, the current engines of the w
 orld economy. The road network planning solutions to implement will certai
 nly attend to economic objectives\, but should also take into account soci
 al and environmental concerns\, as key ingredients of a sustainable develo
 pment policy. In this presentation\, we analyze how the consideration of t
 hese concerns will affect road network planning solutions using a multi-ob
 jective optimization model. The type of results that can be obtained throu
 gh the analysis are exemplified for the State of Paraná\, Brazil.
