Dear all,

First of all I would like to thank you Prof.Venkatesh Raghavan to introduce
me again to this mailing list.

About using AHP with pgRouting, I was started using AHP for assign a
priority weigth to the elements that depending on their perceived relative
importance for computing route result.
For example, If we need to find the route from start point to the
destination point such as hospital in case of emergency route. The elements
were used for a judgments are Distance, Speed limit, Road width, Road type,
Junction delay, etc. (If we first  thinking only about the road condition).
Then, from AHP analysis we can get the priority weights values like this;

------------------------------------------------
  Criteria            | Priority (%)
-----------------------------------------------
|   distance         |   15.89%
|  Speel limit       |    8.82%
|  Road width      |    4.83%
|  Road type       |    6.78%
| Junction delay  |    12.88%
|   ....                 |    ....
|   ....                 |    ....
---------------------------------------------------
|   Sum              |   100%

Next step, I need to integrate this values with road netwrok attribute data
to compute the minimum cost for a route result.

Any ideas how to do this process?

Best regards,
Sittichai
