Abstract

Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) has traditionally been employed to evaluate transport projects. In recent years, participatory MCA approaches have presented a promising avenue for involving stakeholders in transport planning. However, the potential of participatory MCA to support the development of inclusive transport infrastructure, particularly digital and shared mobility services, remains underexplored. This study examines three applications of a specific participatory MCA method, the Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis (MAMCA), in Brussels (Belgium), The Hague (The Netherlands) and Vienna (Austria). These applications aimed to support the planning process for implementing mobility hubs, a type of transport infrastructure that integrates shared mobility services and public transport both physically and digitally.
