'MAMCA is not just another Multi Criteria Analysis methodology; it is a holistic Cost Efficiency Analysis concept, that is robustly structured and supported by a vast array of tools, like tables, excel sheets and an enabling software. We've applied it in more than 20 industrial and research projects and it never stopped surprising us positively, by the often unexpected and ''out of the box'' findings it led to. Thus, this book is of fundamental importance to Transport Researchers performing impact assessment.'--Angelos Bekiaris, Hellenic Institute of Transport, Greece'This edited book provides an essential resource for anyone involved in evaluation and decision-making in sustainable transport. The value of the book goes beyond the application of a specific technique and it contains insights that are relevant to all those involved in sustainable transport and logistics.'--Michael Brown, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
