A Decision Making Model for Urban Mass Transit Planning

Abstract

The urban transit network planning is considered as a group decision making problem with multiple objectives and multiple decision makers, due to the its planning characteristics. A new group decision making method is presented to overcome the problem in current group decision making. With the idea of integration and collaboration, the group decision making problem is turned into the group decision making with multiple objectives and decision makers, and the two stage decision model is established. The dynamic index is transformed into static index with the dynamic multi-valued context, and the first stage decision model is established by entropy weight theory. The weight is given by experts with cluster analysis, and the aggregation model of group decision making is established with relative entropy, in the second stage.
