The MOBRU project (2015-2019) studied evaluation and decision making in politically complex transport projects, using inter-regional transport projects between Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia as a test case. It resulted in two novel appraisal approaches, which can be applied separately or combined: 1) Competence-based Multi Criteria Analysis (COMCA); which takes into the account the role of stakeholders for assessing the feasibility of projects, and 2) Stakeholder-based Impact Scoring (SIS), an algorithm for quantifying and comparing negative and positive impacts of projects for different stakeholders, which lends itself for tackling ill-structured decision-making problems.
