Abstract

The chapter presents a methodology for multi-criteria selection of transportation technologies in a transport network. The methodology consists of the following stages: development of transport alternatives; optimization the parameters of the transportation for each alternative by economical criterion, evaluation the alternatives, taking into account the uncertainty of the processes; choice of additional quantitative and qualitative criteria for assessing the alternatives, and determination the weights of additional criteria by using AHP method or its fuzzy version by applying the theory of fuzzy sets FAHP; prioritization the alternatives according the additional criteria by applying PROMETHEE method; definition an complex optimization criterion for choosing the optimal alternative of transport technologies in a state of certainty and uncertainty. The methodology has been applied to develop a multi-criteria model for the optimization of the transport scheme in passenger rail transport; multi-criteria model for route selection in the transport network; multi-criteria model for assessing the efficiency of intermodal passenger and freight transport. The research objective of this chapter was to experiment the application of the developed methodology in different modes of transport.
