EVALUATING GOALS AND IMPACTS OF TWO METRO ALTERNATIVES BY THE AHP

The transportation planning and its decicion making involve a large number of goals and more than one alternative to be evaluated.

We show how the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a useful tool in this procedure, and evaluate several objectives and impacts of the implantation of the third metro line in the city of Sao Paolo, Brazil, where there were two alternative outlines and one of them to be selected.
