Multi-Criteria Evaluation by Means of Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process in Transportation Master Plans: Scenario Selection in the Transportation Master Plan of Ankara

Abstract

The Transportation Master Plan, includes the processes of producing, election and evaluatingprocess for scenarios that can respond to transportation problems. In this election process, ascenario should be selected by a scientific method as transportation plan from among thedetermined alternatives. This study explains in details how inter-scenario selection criteria aredetermined by using the analytic hierarchy process that is a multi-criteria evaluation method intransportation master plan implementation processes. The effectiveness of mathematical model,which is set up in the selection processes, is discussed in particular with respect to the Ankararegion and the prospective estimates and results are evaluated depending on the selectedalternative.
