Abstract

Studies related to transportation planning and development have been in the center of activities of many researchers in the past decades. Road congestions issues, economic problems, health problems and environmental problems are some examples of complex problems that can be caused by urban and public transportation in big cities. Evaluating urban and public transportation systems could help to reach effective solutions to overcome these issues. This article presents a short bibliographic review of some recent studies on Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approaches for evaluating urban and public transportation systems. To this aim, Scopus was chosen as the database for making a search on journal articles. Scopus is trusted by major institutions in the world, and all journals covered in this database are inspected for sufficiently high quality each year. The search was made on the journal articles from 2017 to 2022 (July). The analyses presented in this study show that the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is the most used method, which has been applied to different studies in the field of urban and public transportation systems based on MCDM approaches. According to the analysis of the number of articles, Turkey is ranked 1st among different countries, and “Budapest University of Technology and Economics” (Hungary) is 1st in the ranking of institutions. Moreover, most of the articles have been published within the “social sciences” subject area. The recent trend in different studies on urban and public transportation systems shows the importance of using MCDM approaches in this field. Moreover, noticeable employment of fuzzy sets in several studies is a point that can shows the significant role of uncertainty in dealing with this type of problems.

评价城市和公共交通系统的MCDM方法:对最近研究的简短回顾

在过去的几十年里，与交通规划和发展相关的研究一直是许多研究者的活动中心。道路拥挤问题、经济问题、健康问题和环境问题是大城市的城市和公共交通可能造成的复杂问题的一些例子。评估城市和公共交通系统有助于找到克服这些问题的有效解决办法。本文简要介绍了最近关于城市和公共交通系统评价的多准则决策方法的一些研究。为此，选择Scopus作为检索期刊文章的数据库。Scopus受到世界主要机构的信任，该数据库所涵盖的所有期刊每年都经过足够高质量的检查。检索的是2017年至2022年(7月)的期刊文章。本文的分析表明，层次分析法(AHP)是最常用的方法，该方法已应用于基于MCDM方法的城市和公共交通系统的不同研究。根据文章数分析，土耳其在各国中排名第一，“布达佩斯科技经济大学”(匈牙利)在院校排名中排名第一。此外，大多数文章都是在“社会科学”学科领域内发表的。最近关于城市和公共交通系统的不同研究趋势表明，在这一领域使用MCDM方法的重要性。此外，在一些研究中值得注意的模糊集的使用是一个可以显示不确定性在处理这类问题中的重要作用的点。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
