Abstract: Abstract Transportation corridors are basic elements of whole transportation system. The selection of particular solution (transportation corridor) directly determines the effectiveness of whole transport. Thus, such selection should be based on detailed and thorough analysis, and evaluation factors should include all aspects contributing to transport effectiveness, i.e., time of transport, costs of transport, timeliness of transport or finally, transport reliability or flexibility. The overall research goal of this paper is to evaluate the global transportation corridors, considering effectiveness factor as the most significant. The authors claim that this aspect has a multiple-criteria character, and thus, they develop the proposed approach based on the principles of multiple-criteria decision making/aiding. The challenge and the novelty of this work are to distinguish all factors contributing to transport effectiveness and apply them to the proposed methodology, in particular, to the indicated family of evaluation criteria of the alternative options—global transportation corridors. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, such a contribution has not been reported in the literature, so far.
