Description of the research topic:
a. Introduction. Public transport development decisions are often made as top-down decisions, a narrow circle of transport company managers or local government officers decide on the amelioration of the system. This practice has been changing since the last decade and considering public opinion has obtained more and more attention by the decision makers.
b. The objective of the research. To construct such a (possibly hybrid) methodology and model which is capable of acquiring public knowledge and mapping citizens’ preferences related to public transport development issues. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) offers a wide range of possible techniques for reaching this goal.
c. Tasks, main elements, scheduling of the research.
1. Literature review. Identifying and analyzing the previous results of the field, determining the theoretical gaps and pitfalls of the current methodologies – 1 year.
2. Creating the consensual model for decision support which is capable of mapping passenger demand for public transport system improvement. Sensitivity analysis and consistency check are also required in the elaborated technique – 1,5 year.
3. Verifying the created model and analyzing the preconditions and possible application pitfalls – 1 year.
