“…Only two of these have used empirical support (ES) for their reasoning (Figure 3), while the rest base their claims on some kind of logical reasoning (LR). However, regardless of the support for these different claims, there seems to be a consensus that using MUTs to install cable-and pipe-based infrastructure is more costly than using traditional technologies such as OCE (Riera and Pasqual, 1992;Cano-Hurtado and Canto-Perello, 1999;Curiel-Esparza, 2006, 2013;Canto-Perello et al, 2009;Curiel-Esparza and Canto-Perello, 2013;Liu et al, 2018;Valdenebro and Gimena, 2018). Riera and Pasqual (1992) and Valdenebro and Gimena (2018) are the only articles that present empirical support for such estimates from real cases of MUTs installed in Barcelona and Pamplona, respectively.…”

“…The avoidance of excavations in urban areas not only brings the potential benefit of saving underground space; it can also reduce costs for maintenance and limit other negative consequences of excavation such as disturbances in the city life via traffic shutdowns, reduced mobility, wear on paved surfaces and reduced accessibility to businesses and stores (Cano-Hurtado and Canto-Perello, 1999;Canto-Perello et al, 2009, 2016Canto-Perello, 2012, 2013;Liu et al, 2018;Valdenebro et al, 2019). There are seven articles that discuss this claim, but only Hunt et al (2014) andCanto-Perello et al (2016) present some empirical support for it.…”

Multi-utility tunnel (MUT) have received increasing attention as an alternative method for installing subsurface infrastructure for the distribution of electricity, telecommunications, water, sewage and district heating. MUTs are described as a potentially more sustainable technology than conventional open-cut excavation (OCE), especially if the entire life cycle of these cable and pipe networks is taken into account. Based on an extensive review of the academic literature, this article aims to identify and critically examine claims made about the pros and cons of using MUT for the placement of subsurface infrastructure. Identified claims are mapped, and their validity and applicability assessed. These claims are then analyzed from a sustainability perspective, based on the three sustainability dimensions and a life cycle perspective. The results show that a variety of advantages and disadvantages of using MUTs for subsurface infrastructure are highlighted by the articles, but several of these are without any empirical support. When some form of empirical support is presented, it usually comes from case-specific analyses of MUTs, and the applicability in other MUT projects is seldom discussed. Economic performance is the sustainability dimension that has received the most attention, while environmental performance has not been analyzed in the reviewed literature, which is a major limitation of the current knowledge. In summary, the knowledge about the sustainability performance of using MUTs for subsurface infrastructure is still limited and incoherent. In order to increase the knowledge, this article points out the importance of new case studies, in which the sustainability consequences of using MUTs for subsurface infrastructure are mapped and evaluated by combining both quantitative and qualitative assessment methods.

“…Furthermore, compared with traditional bar chart, radar chart has a stronger visual impact and can more intuitively display the characteristics of one object that are particularly prominent in an attribute [20]. Therefore, radar chart has been received a great amount of attention due to its increasing use in risk evaluation [20], multiple energy systems [21], e-waste management systems [22], process control [23], and medical field [24], etc. However, in traditional radar chart, the evaluation results are different due to the different order of indexes [25].…”

Comprehensive measures for the estimation performance evaluation (EPE) has become increasingly prominent. This paper proposed a new radar chart evaluation method to measure the estimation performance. Firstly, the new radar chart index, which is composed of several popular incomprehensive measures, are presented, and the method of the weight of the each index is calculated based on vector ranking method. Secondly, the new comprehensive measures for the EPE is designed according to the fan area and the fan arc length. Finally, two cases study are provided to verify the effectiveness of this method.
