Enhanced Assessment of the Air Transportation System

Abstract

A framework has been developed to conduct sustainability studies of ATS and its sub elements separately. The framework shows the combination of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Cost Assessment (LCC) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA). The final results of the inventory analysis will be aggregated in a single value, expressed as Socio-Eco-Efficiency Index (SEEindex). This paper does not present the inventory calculations itself, but contains a proposed description of synthesis of the inventory results using Multiple Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) methods.
