The Assessment of Environmental Impacts of Transport Using ANP

摘要

Assessment of environmental impact preferences of transport using ANP is presented in this paper. Authors suggest using ANP method within decision-making process and assessment of transport strategies or projects and their impacts on the environment. There are many various dependencies and links among factors influencing the decision-making process of transport implementation. They are not just environmental impacts that influence acceptance of decision-making but also main factors as time (term), space (territory radius) and way of transport (mode). Finally many expectations of benefits obtained from transport implementation must be included into decision-making process as well. It shows complicating structure of these processes. This research is part of project COST 356, which main objective is to design harmonized methods to build better environmental indicators system by using existing European indices, and to build methods to be applied to the decision-making process in the transport sector.
