Congested flowgate ranking is a process to rank flowgates by the potential benefits associated with each flowgate when it is relieved. The rank can be used to help identify top congested flowgates for full evaluation and planning. Ideally, congested flowgates should be ranked by their potential benefits when congestion is relieved individually. This approach however requires one change case simulation...
