Liberalised railway markets bring into play the economic interactions amongst three dominant interest groups: passengers as system users; public entities providing track; and private firms operating trains. Problems that arise are multi-criteria with multi-decision-makers who may be in conflict. Our approach to this problem is similar of a cooperative game-theoretic non-transferable utility (NTU) reach Pareto optimal resolutions which aspirations all players taken account. The data collected...
