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.
