The complex nature of decisive situations often implies the existence of a formalization process which can compromise decision-making criteria. In fact, when managing a transport network, as for managing any process, decision-makers come upon major difficulties in making decisions due to the conflicts between the criteria that they need to take into account and to modeling. As a result, it is necessary for the decision-makers to benefit from a modeling approach which acknowledges these criteria as well as a strategy which can reflect their compromise.

Several decision-making problems in the field of urban transport pose great difficulty. In the majority of cases, it is not possible to fully meet all the objectives by simply outlining a set of decisions. The challenge lies in the fact of modeling and identifying uncertain knowledge, as well as the parameters and the criteria which are critical for decision-making. For a public transport customer, the arriving at a destination often requires changing vehicles several times at different transport hubs. These connections are sometimes made in non-optimal conditions due to unforeseen incidents causing buses to be delayed or ahead of time.
