Decision support for management of urban transport projects

The planning phase within the urban-transport project management is a complex process from both the management and techno-economic aspects. The focus of this research is on decision-making processes related to the planning phase during management of urbanroad infrastructure projects. The proposed concept is based on multicriteria methods and Artificial Neural Networks. The decision-support concept presented in this paper is tested on the road infrastructure of the city of Split, and it shows how urban road infrastructure planning can be improved.
