THE APPLICABILITY OF MULTICRITERIA-ANALYSIS TO THE EVALUATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS (ITS). IN: ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: INNOVATIONS AND CASE STUDIES

This paper describes theoretical foundations of multicriteria analysis (MCA), and the process-related steps to be followed when conducting an MCA in practice. Two MCA methods are discussed in greater detail; namely, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and PROMETHEE. Although the discussion of the merits of MCA can be viewed as generic, special attention is devoted herein to the applicability of these methods to intelligent transportation system (ITS) cases. The paper critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of MCA as compared to cost benefit analysis (CBA), especially in the context of ITS applications.
