This paper
presents an application of Multiple Attribute Utility Theory on
strategic
choices concerning energy transportation. The environmental assessment
of a
network reinforcement strategy is emphasized. Our assessment brings
about to
consider multidimensional variables in MCDM. However, Multi-Attributed
Utility
Theory (MAUT) cannot, as a practical matter, manage such variables. We
therefore work out a methodology to transform multidimensional variables
into
unidimensional ones. We apply it then to a pratical case. From the
application, we draw some conclusions on Multi-Attributed Utility Theory
and
on its interest for strategic choices dealing with environmental
consequences.
