“…Some important social indicators related to sustainable road transport include fatalities and injuries from road crashes, accessibility to facilities and public transport and quality of road transport for disadvantaged, disabled, children, nondrivers, etc. [18,21]. In addition, a sustainable road transport system must contribute to economic growth and also reflect costs related to road transport activities.…”

Applying an Alternative Approach for Assessing Sustainable Road Transport: A Benchmarking Analysis on EU Countries

Road transport plays an important role in economic development, trade and social integration. However, it is also responsible for certain negative impacts on environment and society. In order to achieve sustainable development, there is a growing need for a country to assess both the benefits from road transport and its undesirable costs, to compare them with those in other countries and to provide estimates of their future developments. In this research, starting from the identification of relevant factors (both desirable and undesirable), a benchmarking approach is proposed as an alternative way to assess sustainable road transport among the 28 EU countries. Meanwhile, the basic concept of data envelopment analysis (DEA) for benchmarking purpose is further extended to integrate both the desirable achievements and the undesirable costs in evaluation. As a result, an overall road transport sustainability score is computed for the 28 EU countries, which can be further split into two efficiency scores with respect to desirable and undesirable factors, respectively. Furthermore, after applying a clustering analysis that groups countries with inherent similarity in their practices, the model is adopted to identify best-performing and underperforming countries within the cluster, as well as the reference sets for those underperforming ones, based on which valuable insights are gained, enabling decision makers to prioritize their actions towards a more sustainable road transport system in the future.

“…Given the threefold nature of the concept-which integrates the environment, economy, and society-classical analyses that exclusively consider monetary values are not appropriate [25] because several aims must be considered when evaluating transportation projects [26]. The three sustainability dimensions need to be evaluated jointly [27]. Many authors have attempted to create sets of criteria for measuring sustainability in transportation, but the sets provided thus far are either too monolithic or too atomized (see, e.g., [23,[28][29][30]).…”

“…Hence, criteria must not be ambiguous; that is, a meaning is assigned to each level of achievement that a criterion indicates [80], but the criteria can also be qualitative expressions of objectives [82]. The terms used synonymously for criteria in the literature vary the most, including, e.g., impact [27,74], indicator (without a unit given) [12,61,74,75], parameter [64], theme [36], or critical success factor [70].…”

Sustainable transportation plays a key role in social participation and climate change. However, no universally accepted set of criteria for tracking the progress of urban sustainable transportation projects currently exists; one reason for this is the absence of a standardized lexicon for sustainability measurement elements. Therefore, this paper conducts a systematic literature review and analysis of sustainable transportation criteria using 21 papers from journals listed in the German rating system JOURQUAL3 (JQ3) and published between 2010 and 2020. The paper thus develops a unified vocabulary for sustainability measurement elements that is structured into a hierarchy. The goal (sustainable transportation) presides over the following three sustainability dimensions: objectives (e.g., minimization of traffic clogging), criteria (e.g., congestion), and indicators (e.g., cost of traffic congestion). Within the hierarchy, the main criteria for urban multimodal sustainable transportation are identified as follows: 13 social, 11 economic, and 9 environmental main criteria are determined. The three main criteria used most in the literature exclusively concern the environment. Future research is recommended to assess the interrelations between the criteria as their assignment to sustainability dimensions is ambiguous in the existing literature. This paper helps mobility managers to make decisions about urban transportation concepts and while overseeing projects.

“…Numerous studies have shown that, with the entry of sustainability into plans and policies, meeting environmental and social goals together with economic goals has been important not only for government sector but also for private sector such as construction [2][3][4][5], fisheries [6][7][8][9][10][11], mining [12][13][14][15][16][17], and transportation [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“Sustainability” term has not only become increasingly important globally for individual companies, but also become important for whole supply chains. The selection of supplier is a significant decision for the sustainability of supply chains. Literature review revealed that supplier selection is made traditionally based on economic attributes which are insufficient for sustainability of supply chains as sustainability requires taking economic, environmental, and social issues into account. For this purpose, this paper proposes determining the green supplier selection attributes and then developing a methodology for assessment and ranking of green suppliers based on determined attributes. The first contribution of this study is to propose a novel method, which is FROV (fuzzy extension of range of value) to literature. The latter is to utilize fuzzy extension of preference selection index (FPSI) to identify the weights of attributes. The third is to develop a novel fuzzy multiattribute decision-making model consisting of FPSI and FROV to determine the best supplier for a Turkish textile company.
