“…Since the environmental, social, and economic aspects with their own measurement units can be aggregated in this approach, it is known as a reliable method for sustainable transport decisionmaking problems 13 . Tsamboulas 14 used multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT) to rank transportation projects. Halouani et al 15 studied the aggregation of quantitative and qualitative information by introducing two multi-criteria group decision methods to select the right projects.…”

Selecting transport project to invest is an important task. This paper offers a new sustainable transport investment selection approach that applies interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs) to address uncertainty. Relative preference relation is employed to address importance of criteria. Judgments of experts are given a weight based on all the gathered judgments and the expertise of experts. Furthermore, the concept of Prospect theory is used to rank the alternatives. The approach is applied to a case study and the results are discussed.

“…In this case, the degree of exploitation of the existing infrastructure is analyzed, confronting the demand and offer. Indicators as this one are very common in transportation infrastructure studies as shown in Tsamboulas (2006).…”

Infrastructure construction, one of the biggest driving forces of the economy nowadays, requires a huge analysis and clear transparency to decide what projects have to be executed with the few resources available. With the aim to provide the public administrations a tool with which they can make their decisions easier, the Sustainability Index of Infrastructure Projects (SIIP) has been defined, with a multi-criteria decision system called MIVES, in order to classify non-uniform investments. This index evaluates, in two inseparable stages, the contribution to the sustainable development of each infrastructure project, analyzing its social, environmental and economic impact. The result of the SIIP allows to decide the order with which projects will be prioritized. The case of study developed proves the adaptability and utility of this tool for the ordinary budget management.

“…They have been successfully applied to decision processes concerning transport systems and are promoted within guidelines on feasibility studies (see, e.g., [13]). A good number of articles have been published that present applications of MCDA to infrastructural projects (e.g., [14][15][16]) and transport plans or policies (e.g., [12]). Several studies confirm the above-mentioned advantages of MCDA with respect to economic-based methods, but, in line with official guidelines, they usually suggest to carry out both analyses to have a complete picture of a project's effectiveness and efficiency (see, in particular, [7,8]).…”

Applications and Theory of Analytic Hierarchy Process - Decision Making for Strategic Decisions

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The chapter reports on the application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to a strategic decision in the transport sector, concerning the reconfiguration of the railway infrastructure of the seaport of Trieste. The proposed solutions should not only solve some technical and operational problems of the terminal, but they could allow the port to be included in the Trans-European Network-Transport Programme (TEN-T), promoted by the European Union and aimed to develop the Trans-European Networks of Transport. Accordingly, the selection of the solution with the most promising potential to satisfy the goals of the TEN-T policy is a fundamental stage of the project. The case study is an actual AHP application to an evaluation process concerning a prefeasibility study of strategic solutions in the logistics and transport fields. Some practical aspects regarding the application of the AHP and the building of the model, when several stakeholders are involved in the decision process, are highlighted and discussed.
