{{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](/source/mathematical_optimization) techniques have been brought to bear on the problem, including [linear programming](/source/linear_programming) and [deep learning](/source/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>
