Authors:   Eugene Kopytov, Dmitry Abramov

Abstract

The paper considers the evaluation of the efficiency of multiple criteria methods employing for the choice of freight transportation mode and route. The following main tasks are highlighted selection of a set of indices, characterizing efficiency of freight transportations, and formation of efficiency criteria of the transportation system on their basis; choice of multiple criteria methods for evaluation and selection of cargo transportation alternatives; evaluation and selection of cargo transportation routes and modes using AHP and ELECTRE methods; comparison of the results of choice obtained by different methods; evaluation of the efficiency of AHP and ELECTRE methods employed to solve the problem of choosing the freight transportation route and mode.
