ABSTRACT

If mobility is a primary need of people, transportation infrastructures have to be planned with the involvement of the public. On the other hand, the evaluation of a great engineering work, as a tunnel is, needs a scientific approach. On the basis of this, the paper shows how to apply multi-criteria techniques to planning and evaluating tunnel interventions on transportation networks, using the measure of effectiveness “public satisfaction”, associated to the objective “public involvement”. The problem of calibrating the weight associated with this parameter is solved, proposing a new technique called the “predating process”.
