{{Short description|Design of highway systems to maximize utility}}
'''Highway network optimization''' is the problem of configuring highway networks to maximize economic and social utility. Numerous mathematical optimization techniques have been brought to bear on the problem, including linear programming and deep learning.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Sakhapov |first1=R L |last2=Nikolaeva |first2=R V |last3=Gatiyatullin |first3=M H |last4=Makhmutov |first4=M M |date=December 2017 |title=Mathematical model of highways network optimization |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/936/1/012032 |journal=Journal of Physics: Conference Series |volume=936 |issue=1 |article-number=012032 |doi=10.1088/1742-6596/936/1/012032 |bibcode=2017JPhCS.936a2032S |issn=1742-6588|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Ben-Ayed |first1=Omar |last2=Blair |first2=Charles E. |last3=Boyce |first3=David E. |last4=LeBlanc |first4=Larry J. |date=1992-12-01 |title=Construction of a real-world bilevel linear programming model of the highway network design problem |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02098181 |journal=Annals of Operations Research |volume=34 |issue=1 |pages=219–254 |doi=10.1007/BF02098181 |issn=1572-9338|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Zhang |first=Jiankang |date=2024-07-25 |title=Optimization design of highway route based on deep learning |journal=Frontiers in Future Transportation |volume=5 |doi=10.3389/ffutr.2024.1430509 |doi-access=free |issn=2673-5210}}</ref>
