Abstract: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric linear programming method used for determining the efficiency of a set of companies as compared to the best practice frontier. It can be employed to analyze private, public or non-profit organizations. The application of the method in the transport sector is wide-spread, especially in the evaluation of airports, ports, railways and urban transport companies. The present paper is aimed at giving a review of how DEA is applied in the transport sector with a spe… Show more

“…In the framework of these, a DMU 0 is efficient if and only if θ*= 1 and s − * i = s + * r = 0 for all i, r, and it is weakly efficient, if θ*= 1, and s − * i 0 and/or s + * r 0 for some iand r in some alternate optima [7,14]. Formulas (5) and 4represent the inputoriented DEA CCR models (envelopment and multiplier form).…”

“…The concept of transport efficiency is vastly investigated in city logistics [6]. It can be evaluated from a service provider perspective, from a customer point of view, or from a public sector and sustainability perspective [7]. Arvidsson [8] identified different definitions depending on the discipline studying this concept.…”

“…Markovits-Somogyi [7] defines efficiency as a ratio between the outputs and the inputs of the given activity. While, Zhang and Zhang [9] define efficient logistics development as a situation where "the combination of various input elements is optimal, and its output will be maximum value under certain input".…”
