Abstract
Railway transportation affects the overall transportation process and integrated sustainable development. Evaluation of the railway transportation performance is of great significance for building an efficient and comprehensive railway transportation system. The research establishes a methodology to evaluate railway transportation performance in China. Firstly, the research determines the indexes for evaluation of railway transportation performance, including railway safety, infrastructure, equipment, operation efficiency, and green development. Second, the weight of each index is calculated by using criteria importance through the intercriteria correlation method (CRITIC). Third, the railway transportation performance is assessed based on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), by applying the CRITIC-relative entropy method. Finally, the empirical analysis shows that, in 2018, the railway transportation performance is underdeveloped in almost half of China’s railway bureaus and that there are obvious differences between railway bureaus in the east and west. The evaluation of railway transportation performance could be used to improve the sustainable ability of railway transportation in China.
