Review and Systematization of Efficiency Measurement Methods Used in the Transport Sector

A number of different techniques can be used to carry out a transportation system efficiency analysis. Experts may classify respective methodologies as using an index or a production function, as being parametric or non-parametric, or as not employing any of the aforementioned. The author provides brief summaries of these methodologies and provides examples of each in transportation sector applications in order to provide a clear systematization of them, using literature and independent research as a basis. The author also presents a novel perspective of the methodologies stressing the importance of links between the different techniques and outlines the individual techniques' reliabilities and correlations.
