Abstract

摘要

The role of transportation in the economic process is central. Transportation’s benefits, however, can be dampened because of its environmental and social cost. A central question then arises as to the degree of sustainability of a national transportation system.

运输在经济过程中的作用不容小觑。然而，交通运输所带来的利益会因其环境和社会成本而大打折扣。暴露出的一个核心问题，则与国家运输系统的可持续性程度有关。

In the present paper we develop a mathematical model to define and assess national transportation sustainability. The model relies on a number of indicators encompassing environmental impact, efficiency, safety, and economic contributions. Statistical data manipulations and fuzzy multistage reasoning result in an overall sustainability index over [0, 1]. A sensitivity analysis uncovers those indicators with the highest potential for improving transportation sustainability. Thirty European countries are ranked and the most important indicators for each country are pinpointed.

在本文中，我们创建了一个数学模型来定义和评估国家交通可持续性。该模型依赖于一系列指标，包括环境影响、效率、安全和经济贡献。统计数据操作和模糊多级推理导出了超过[0，1]的整体可持续性指数。敏感性分析揭示了最有可能改善运输可持续性的指标。30个欧洲国家参与了排名，并确定了每个国家最重要的指标。

It is demonstrated that greatest improvement will be achieved with the reduction of passenger car use, road freight transportation, and fatal accidents. Counterintuitively, Norway, Austria, Denmark, and Luxembourg rank at the bottom of the list together with Bulgaria, Greece, and Malta. This is due to their poor environmental performance and their small sustainability progress over 2010–2020.

事实证明，随着客车使用量、公路货运量和致命事故的减少，运输可持续性指标将会取得最大的改善。与直觉相反的是，挪威、奥地利、丹麦和卢森堡与保加利亚、希腊和马耳他一起排名垫底。这是由其环境表现不佳，并且在2010年至2020年期间可持续性进展缓慢所导致的。
