Abstract
The EUNET 4th Framework research project takes forwards and
develops work begun by the EURET and APAS research programmes,
whose common theme was to propose consistent evaluation principles
and methods across member states in areas such as new road
construction, rail infrastructure and inter-modal terminals (eg.
ports and airports). The assessment task of multi-modal transport
is the main topic of the paper. Specifically, the paper describes
a combined cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and multi-criteria analysis
(MCA) approach, which provides decision-makers with information on
the economic and environmental benefits of projects, and allows
them to explore alternative weightings of the various criteria -
including wider policy variables - which they identify as relevant
to their decision.
