“…To curb these growing problems, sustainable transport has entered the research field of transportation experts and has gradually gained increasing attention [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Sustainable transport is defined as "transportation that meets mobility needs while also preserving and enhancing human and ecosystem health, economic progress and social justice now and in the future [9]".…”

Abstract:With the challenge of transportation environment, a large amount of attention is paid to sustainable mobility worldwide, thus bringing the problem of the evaluation of sustainable transport solutions. In this paper, a modified method based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (D-S theory) is proposed for evaluating the impact of transport measures on city sustainability. AHP is adapted to determine the weight of sustainability criteria while D-S theory is used for data fusion of the sustainability assessment. A Transport Sustainability Index (TSI) is presented as a primary measure to determine whether transport solutions have a positive impact on city sustainability. A case study of car-sharing is illustrated to show the efficiency of our proposed method. Our modified method has two desirable properties. One is that the BPA is generated with a new modification framework of evaluation levels, which can flexibly manage uncertain information. The other is that the modified method has excellent performance in sensitivity analysis.

“…In fact, while DCMs can adequately elicit stakeholders' individual preferences based on sound microeconomic theory [9,22,23], Fig. 1 Framework of the proposed decision-making process ABMs can simulate and reproduce interaction in a participatory decision-making process where stakeholders can influence each other's decisions [24][25][26].…”

Purpose This paper proposes an innovative approach to decision-making processes for urban freight planning that could easily be transferred across cities while capable of jointly taking into account: (1) all the conceivable and updated urban freight transport (UFT) measures that should apply to the specific city culture, structure and evolution, (2) all the relevant stakeholders and successfully involve them from the beginning, (3) behavioural, technical, operational, organisational and financial issues. Methods The methodology is organised and deployed in three phases, following three different approaches, i.e.: a Bdesk approach^for data acquisition and knowledge-based policy rankings; a Bliving lab approach^to foster stakeholders' engagement in co-creating policies; a Bmodelling approach^to evaluate policies and find/define an optimised mix of shared applicable/effective policies. Results The three-phase methodology supports public authorities in: (a) increasing knowledge and understanding of the most innovative context-specific UFT policies; (b) integrating UFT policies in strategic urban planning via collaborative participation/governance processes; (c) developing an ex-ante behaviourally consistent, financially robust and technically compatible assessment of shared UFT policy mixes while providing appropriate instruments to facilitate policy adoption and deployment. Conclusions The proposed methodology contributes to the identification and development of effective UFT solutions. Bringing together knowledge acquisition, policy co-creation, behaviour change analysis within a single methodological approach, aimed at identifying an optimised policy package, is both new and needed.

“…the stakeholders), given the nature of decisions, which are most of the time complex, and the impact these decisions can have on society. Transport planning is a dynamic process with top-down and bottom-up decision-making phases and participation can be at different levels, from stakeholder identification, to listening and communication, consultation and participation, up to the highest level of "citizen control" (Arnstein, 1969;Kelly et al, 2004;Cascetta and Pagliara, 2013;Le Pira et al, 2015a). The concept of "stakeholder" was originally introduced by Freeman (1984) in the fields of Economy, where there is a well-established literature affirming that the power of a company lies on its relationships with them.…”

“…In particular, complex emergent phenomena like consensus building in a group of interacting stakeholders can be simulated via agent-based modelling (ABM), particularly suitable to reproduce complex social systems. ABM has already been used to reproduce participatory decision-making processes with reference to a set of policies, a ranking of objectives or criteria (Le Pira et al, 2015a;2015b). The aim of this paper is to reproduce via an ABM stakeholder involvement related to the decision about a specific transport policy, studying how the network topology and the initial conditions can influence the final outcome, by simulating the opinion dynamics which takes place in the stakeholders' network.…”
