Abstract

The importance and public nature of road infrastructure requires involvement of many stakeholders
in the process of decision making in the democratic societies. The usage of Multi–Criteria
Analysis (MCA) is a pertinent tool in decision making when some of specific objectives
are imperative to achieve. Besides, the road infrastructure is very important for the system
of civil protection and defence for all countries. This work shows the methodology for definition
of criteria and determination of weight for each criterion. The following six main criteria
are assessed: traffic flow, impact of spatial plan, civil engineering criteria, economical and
financial criteria, environmental criteria, criteria for defence and system of civil protection.
More specific sub–criteria are defined in each group of main criteria. The questionnaire with
a list of main and specific criteria is sent to several institutions and experts in the country to
give their opinion thereon, or to estimate each main criterion (first step of weighting) as well
as to assess each sub–criterion (second step of weighting). The results of the survey concerning
measurement of the importance of each criterion are used to develop Multi–Criteria
Analysis. The assessment of three variants of road infrastructure is calculated through three
methods of MCA: Sum Weight Method (SWM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and ELECTRE.
The comparison and recommendation for usage of MCA and choice of the calculation method
is also provided in this work.
