Abstract
A method for determining optimal path arrangements for an infrastructure link between two geographic locations. The method includes modelling a geographic terrain containing the two geographic locations; optimizing an arrangement cost and a repair rate for two or more potential paths based on the modelled geographic terrain, an arrangement cost model, and a repair rate model, taking into account at least two design levels; and determining the optimal path arrangements each including multiple path portions and respective design levels associated with the path portions based on the optimization.
