Summary
The purpose of this paper is to present a procedure as a contribution for planning
new transport infrastructure works, particularly involving multi-criteria methods to
achieve of a more balanced transport matrix; both intra and inter-cities, where
railways occupy their deserved proportion of total movement of cargo and people
throughout Brazil. Based on a participatory planning directive, some points of the
test-study (previously done) suggest a set of priorities for planning and
implementing transport infrastructure throughout the country by highlighting the
points that use green energy and guaranteeing transport of significant numbers of
people and volume of cargo without ecological damage.
