Evaluating Different Multi-Criteria Decision Methods for the Comparison and Investigation of Public Transport Projects by Papathanasiou, Shameez Patel

“…Generally speaking, a multiple criteria decision problem is a scenario in which having defined a set of actions/solutions (Do nothing / Upgrade Rail / Additional buses etc.) and a consistent family of criteria (Cost / Accessibility / Safety etc.), the Decision Maker (DM) tends to determine the best subset of actions and solutions according to the criteria (choice problem), divide the solutions into subsets representing specific classes of solutions according to the concrete classification rules (sorting problem) or rank the actions and solutions from best to worst, according to the criteria (ranking problem) (Zak, 2010). …”
