The objective of this study is to use an appropriate multicriteria decision making method to identify the most suitable metro vehicles for urban transport. Most cities in the developing world have very limited resources to cope with the high levels of public transport demand they experience. Effective usage of these resources is important for economy and society. Selection of the most appropriate metro rail systems vehicle also is difficult, and there are many variables such as technical, environmental impact and social features pressures on decision making process to select a particular system. This paper selects of among the alternatives of the most widely used metro rail system vehicles for developing cities. Multicriteria decision making methods, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), TOPSIS ad VIKOR methods are used for solution of problem. These methods allow for effective comparison and selection of the most suitable one between the alternatives. The process involves conducting pairwise comparisons with respect to evaluated criteria and includes the best selection among the alternatives technology. In the end, the most suitable metro vehicle is selected among the its alternatives to be developed urban transport. The results of select process is evaluated and gave some advice.

Rail systems are used to provide transportation inner city and intercity. It requires a good planning process due to the large budget of the rail system investment. This point is also an important in determining the location of the stations, which is a step in the planning process. Therefore, various factors are taken into consideration in station location decisions. In this study, a literature search is carried out for the factors affecting the determination of the station location of the rail systems. As a result, evaluations are made by grouping the criteria that affect the station location selection.

Transportation area are rapidly growing in the Turkey. There are more transportation projects different area such as bridge, highway, urban transport, rail systems and inter-city transport projects. Highspeed rail and rapid train projects are one of these projects for intercity transport. Intercity transport is very important for people in terms of travel time and safe, are variety projects in this area. The allocated budget to this area is finite; thus, integration, demand, population, regional development and budget limitations should be considered to choose the most valuable project in the best ranking. This paper investigates an application study from a high-speed rail and rapid train projects in Turkey to selection the most suitable projects for rail transport network. An application consists of planned highspeed rail projects and rapid train projects and the goal is to find the most suitable and the best advantage projects in Turkey. In this paper, it used analytic hierarchy process(AHP) to find the weight of the identified criteria for the rail systems in first step. Then it is presented a zero-one goal programming (ZOGP) model to optimize and schedule the implementation procedure on the project budget and special limitation. Finally, the best suitable projects are selected among the planned highspeed rail and rapid train projects with variety budget scenarios for intercity transportation.
