Abstract

 In order to analyze the planning of a transport linear infrastructure (railway or ordinary road), in order to optimize a relationship work-environment after-work, the study team (engineers,architects, economists, etc), realize a careful prearranged analysis about the characteristic of the site and the large area which are involved by the work project and, once one found all possible alternative solutions, he should compare them through the use of suitable technical, economical and environmental parameters, choosing that one which maximize the global utility of the public investment. In this paper we study a fuzzy-logic method in order to help the decision maker in the analysis of the programmed action public investment.
