“…The MCDM approach as an evaluation tool for decision-making related to European Corridors is discussed in [33]. The MCDA method Analytic Network Process (ANP) was used in [34] to investigate infrastructural development strategy for the regions connected through the axis of TEN-T railway corridor Genoa-Rotterdam. Nine subregions are studied taking into account five clusters (namely, economic development, spatial development, rail operation, environment, and logistics).…”

Railway networks have different levels of development, which affects the overall transport process and integrated sustainable development. This paper presents a methodology to assess and classify the railway network performance along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) core network corridor. The Orient-East Med corridor (OEM) has been examined. Twenty-two infrastructural, economic and technological criteria for assessment of railway transport have been proposed. The countries were ranked used multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), by applying the Sequential Interactive Modelling for Urban Systems (SIMUS). A sensitivity analysis was performed regarding each objective, and then, their allowable range of variation was determined without modifying the whole ranking of countries. The criteria weights have been determined on the basis of the output of using the SIMUS method. It was found that the main criteria for ranking the countries are: length of the connecting railway lines of the corridor in the country, length of the railway lines in the country, number of intermodal terminals, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, passengers transport performance, freight transport performance for the railway network, corridor freight usage intensity. It was found that the railway transport in the area of the OEM corridor located in Central Europe is better developed than in the Southeast European area. A cluster analysis was performed to classify countries into groups to verify the results. The results show that the eight countries included in the OEM corridor can be classified into three groups. The methodology could be used to make decisions about transport planning and improvement of the connectivity and sustainability of the railway transport, considering their development.

“…Current spatial planning support technologies, such as geographical information systems (GIS), are often incapable of coping with one or more of the characteristics of spatial planning problems described above (Boroushaki and Malczewski 2010;Andrienko et al 2010;Masala 2014). Consequently, users of spatial planning support technologies are forced to simplify the problems in order to adapt them to the capabilities of these technologies.…”

“…Nowadays, the problem is the opposite: there is almost too much data on urban matters, such as people's activities, density, pollution, traffic, climate, environment and so on, with large amounts of information organised into extensive databases. Such an amount of data reflects the complexity of the reality they describe, but they are often difficult to read and need to be processed in order to extract useful information (Pensa et al 2014). Several methods are available to mine the content of databases with a view to informing urban and territorial planning.…”

“…This means to survey the consequences of the pending decisions with regard to the alternative strategies and interventions. To create a shared basis, a methodology based on reasoning and cooperation was chosen and a collaborative assessment method was developed and applied in several workshops (Lami 2014;Abastante et al 2014).…”

Large freight or passenger transport projects are problematic and controversial because many financial, technical, environmental and social aspects need to be considered. Indeed, the interface between the transport project and territorial planning domains is generally the focus of considerable heated debates, which often develop into conflicting decision contexts characterized by a high level of complexity. This paper presents a possible response to these difficulties through an innovative approach that integrates the analytic network process and the interactive visualization tool. The approach is intended to be deployed as problem structuring method, with a view to creating a common language for the actors involved and a shared basis for generating fruitful discussions. The proposed approach was applied in the context of the German section of the Genoa-Rotterdam railway corridor within the Interreg IVB NWE Project ''Code24''. The reported application shows how the combination of visualization and real-time interaction with spatial data provided effective decision support to a multinational stakeholder group. More generally, the application presented in this paper aims to demonstrate the potential 123EURO J Decis Process (2014) 2:281-312 DOI 10.1007/s40070-014-0033-x of the approach for the selection of a transport improvement strategy within the content of territorial transformation.
