Improving the local urban transport system’s quality is often seen as one of the critical points for the government and the local operator. An amelioration of the system can improve users’ satisfaction and attract new users while simultaneously decreasing traffic congestion and pollution. Efficient methodologies are required to achieve sustainable development regarding complex issues associated with traffic congestion and pollution. In this study, we propose using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) grey values to overcome the limitations of the uncertainty in the classical AHP approach. The presented grey-AHP model assumes an efficient contrivance to facilitate the public transport system’s supply quality evaluation, especially when respondents are non-experts. Finally, we estimate and rank the public transport system’s supply quality criteria by adopting the proposed model for a real-world case study (Amman city, Jordan). The study’s outcome shows the effectiveness and the applicability of the developed approach for enhancing the quality of the public transport system.

In recent decades, decision support system has been constantly growing in the field of transportation planning. PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation) method is an efficient decision-making support deployed in case of a finite number of criteria. It provides a partial ranking through PROMETHEE I and a complete ranking with PROMETHEE II. This outranking methodology is characterized by the elimination of scale effects between criteria and managing incomparability with the comprehensive ranking. However, PROMETHEE does not provide guidance to assign weights to criteria and assumes that decision makers are able to allocate weights. This review presents an overview of PROMETHEE models applied in transportation and points out the found gaps in literature.
