Abstract
This paper aims to assess user preferences on four different bus lines connecting Benevento to Rome. For this purpose, pairwise comparison methods were used. Passengers were asked to compare possible alternatives of choice based on three service-related criteria and in a scenario where negotiation is not possible. To understand which bus line was preferred by the users, an aggregation method was used to identify the overall priority vector, thanks to suitable weights assigned to each decision maker and based on congruence with the judgments of all other users.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
