Abstract

Urban areas are facing several challenges, especially to organise freight transport in a sustainable way. Many innovative city distribution concepts have failed because not all stakeholders were taken into account in the decision-making process. Evaluating urban freight solutions summons the need for a new approach, taking into consideration different conflicting objectives from different stakeholders. Within STRAIGHTSOL (strategies and measures for smarter urban freight solutions, EC FP7), a systematic impact assessment framework dedicated to freight transportation has been developed. The so-called city distribution - multi-actor multi-criteria analysis (CD-MAMCA) incorporates the city distribution actors and their objectives as the primary focus complemented with a MCDA performed with the PROMETHEE-GDSS method. In this paper, the specific framework dedicated to city distribution is fully explained through a case study in the UK charity sector with Oxfam which tested remote monitoring of the banks leading to dynamic collection scheduling.

可持续城市布局的多因素多标准分析:一个新的评估框架

城市地区正面临着一些挑战，特别是以可持续的方式组织货运。许多创新的城市分配概念都失败了，因为在决策过程中没有考虑到所有的利益相关者。评估城市货运解决方案需要一种新的方法，考虑到不同利益相关者的不同冲突目标。在“智能城市货运解决方案战略与措施”(简称“EC FP7”)中，已经开发了一个专门用于货运的系统影响评估框架。所谓的城市分布-多参与者多标准分析(CD-MAMCA)将城市分布参与者及其目标作为主要焦点，并辅以promehee - gdss方法执行的MCDA。在本文中，通过英国慈善部门与乐施会的一个案例研究，充分解释了专门用于城市分配的具体框架，该案例研究测试了银行远程监控导致动态收款调度。

期刊介绍： IJMCDM is a scholarly journal that publishes high quality research contributing to the theory and practice of decision making in ill-structured problems involving multiple criteria, goals and objectives. The journal publishes papers concerning all aspects of multicriteria decision making (MCDM), including theoretical studies, empirical investigations, comparisons and real-world applications. Papers exploring the connections with other disciplines in operations research and management science are particularly welcome. Topics covered include: -Artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, soft computing in MCDM -Conjoint/performance measurement -Decision making under uncertainty -Disaggregation analysis, preference learning/elicitation -Group decision making, multicriteria games -Multi-attribute utility/value theory -Multi-criteria decision support systems and knowledge-based systems -Multi-objective mathematical programming -Outranking relations theory -Preference modelling -Problem structuring with multiple criteria -Risk analysis/modelling, sensitivity/robustness analysis -Social choice models -Theoretical foundations of MCDM, rough set theory -Innovative applied research in relevant fields
