The paper describes the outcome of a European research project called STEEDS (Scenario-based framework to modeling Transport technology deployment: Energy–Environment Decision Support). It is an advanced Decision Support System (DSS) able to assist the policy makers in exploring the influences on market take-up of different transport technologies under various exogenous scenarios and policy options and in assessing the energy and environmental impacts of these technology mixes. To implement the decision-making analysis a newly developed evaluation methodology has been integrated into the DSS. The method, called NAIADE, allows decision-makers to evaluate complex choices on the basis of enhanced access to information of different types.
