Practical applications of decision support systems for environmental impact assessment of transport infrastructures are described. Silvia interactive software, one of such systems, covering the four phases (preparatory/orientation, land analysis, impact estimation, and decision) of an environmental impact assessment study, is presented. Two directions for further development, sensitivity analysis and group decisions, are suggested.
