“…Developed hybrid MCDM model that combines the Grey-DANP (Grey DEMATEL-based ANP) and Grey-VIKOR methods is tested using data for Taipei's Youbike and Obike systems. Kijewska et al (2018) applied a DEMATEL-AHP approach in analysing the set of measures for sustainable urban freight transport. Diverse expectations of the main stakeholder groups were included by Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis (MAMCA).…”

Freight transport represents a very dynamic and competitive market with high requirements for reliability, lead time, cost, flexibility and visibility of transport service. Rationalization of transport service, reduced travelling time and reliable delivery times represent the main prerequisites for lowering the costs and increasing the efficiency of entire transport chain. These performance indicators actually represent the main factors affecting the shipper’s mode choice. Improvement of these factors could be achieved by improved coordination between rail and non-rail-related stakeholders involved in freight transport service planning and realization. Since this solution requires a multi-stakeholder collaboration, it is needed to evaluate the interests of each of them in order to derive a preferred set of indicators, which will facilitate a collectively accepted solution and value alignment of all involved actors. In this paper, the preferred set of indicators was selected by using the DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) model technique integrated with the Analytic Network Process (ANP). DEMATEL is applied to analyse the causal relationships among the relevant dimensions and among the criteria within each dimension. The causal relationships are then used in ANP for determining the weights of the criteria. An empirical case study based on implementation of information sharing platform in rail intermodal transport chain is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Based on this study the attributes that belong to reliability (“departing / arriving on-time”, “cancelled services”), lead time (“idle time”) and investment cost (“organizational culture”, “business process redesign”) dimensions represent five the most critical factors for obtaining a collectively accepted solution. This effective evaluation model enables policy makers and stakeholders in transportation / logistics to understand and conduct appropriate actions towards fulfilling the objectives for greener transportation.

Before implementing an Urban Freight Transport (UFT) solution, certainty is required about the effectiveness of the considered alternatives. Selecting an effective solution necessitates the engagement of all stakeholders involved in the management of the UFT system. The aim of the study is the formulation of a common assessment platform for facilitating the selection of the most appropriate UFT solution, taking into account the solutions’ effectiveness and the stakeholder perceptions and consensus. Solution maturity, social acceptance, and user uptake, which are considered as the main drivers of stakeholders’ engagement, are evaluated based on a real time Delphi survey, in parallel with solutions’ sustainability dimensions (economy and energy, environment, society, transport, and mobility). The Delphi method emerges as a suitable tool in this direction as stakeholders’ subjective judgments, and not analytical techniques, are required. The platform is demonstrated through the assessment of ten UFT solutions by 184 stakeholders (public authorities, supply chain operators, and other interested groups) who reside in cities across the world. The results of the demonstration showed that Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for freight monitoring and electric vehicles are the highest rated solutions, while drone deliveries are the lowest, reaching respectively the highest and lowest consensus levels.

“…Also, it can be used in decision-making procedures where perceptions of individuals, groups, or both, are under consideration. The method was first introduced by Saaty [24,25] and has been extensively studied and refined since then [26][27][28][29][30][31]. The AHP relies on decomposing before integrating, as the decision maker first decomposes a problem into a hierarchy or sub-problems.…”

Cities strongly rely on efficient urban logistics to ensure their attractiveness, quality of life, and economic development. In the same time, they strive to ensure livable and safe environments around its road network, where the increased presence of light and heavy goods vehicles raises questions of regarding safety and environmental impacts. Recent literature has well-recognized the need to consider different stakeholders’ perspectives on these issues, in order to achieve desired outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a collaborative stakeholders’ decision-making approach for sustainable urban logistics, and demonstrate its applicability on a real-life example. The suggested approach extends existing route planning approaches by considering route sustainability as a part of an arc’s traversal cost. The integration of route sustainability is based on the adoption of a multi-criterial decision-making approach, with the possibility of including different stakeholders’ points of view, and evaluating the sustainability cost concerning the route’s spatial context. To demonstrate the applicability of the suggested approach, we extract the route sustainability cost from the traffic sign database, and implement the findings on a real-life example. Furthermore, the suggested approach exhibits a high level of transferability to various local contexts, where local stakeholders might have a different view on the route sustainability than is the case in our example.
