Consider: (1) a finite set of transport infrastructural investment projects (TIIP) previously analysed by the decision maker(s) in the framework of some multicriterion analysis process in order to reveal a preference (i.e. precedence)–relation pair set (PRS) and; (2) the ranking problem of this TIIP subject to the PRS constraints and a quasi-equal financial expenses rhythm-constraint. We outline an algorithmic aid of this ranking problem exploiting deliberately the non-mutual congruity between an incomplete PRS and resulting hierarchical structures.
