Abstract

This article presents the main components of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology and their application in the assessment of several public transportation solutions in a specific traffic corridor. The corridor in question is 15 km long and runs through the centre of Wrocław, Poland. The analysis focused on six alternative scenarios. The following elements were taken into consideration in their design: alternative means of land transport; different types of vehicles and priorities for public transportation; location of bus and tram stops. The individual solutions were assessed based on six criteria designed to measure different aspects of the problem with the use of two alternative MCDM methods: Electre III/IV and AHP. Computational experiments established the final ranking of transport solutions in the corridor from best to worst in terms of the analysed criteria.
