Abstract:

The geographical position of Morocco places it at the heart of important sea, air, rail and motorway transportation routes between four continents. In this study we evaluate different alternatives to centralize multimodal cargo at a Moroccan airport hub. The choice depends on different socio-economical criteria, the geographical location, and the environmental impacts. Some of the criteria can be measured quantitatively, while for others only qualitative assessment is feasible. Furthermore, significant uncertainty is present both the criteria measurements and the preferences. Due to this problem setting, we analyze the problem using Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA). SMAA allows representing a mixture of different kinds of uncertain, imprecise and partially missing information in a consistent way. The results of the analysis describe the conditions that make each alternative the most preferred one, or give it a particular rank.
