The paper considers the evaluation of the efficiency of multiple criteria methods employing for the choice of freight transportation mode and route. The following main tasks are highlighted selection of a set of indices, characterizing efficiency of freight transportations, and formation of efficiency criteria of the transportation system on their basis; choice of multiple criteria methods for evaluation and selection of cargo transportation alternatives; evaluation and selection of cargo transportation routes and modes using AHP and ELECTRE methods; comparison of the results of choice obtained by different methods; evaluation of the efficiency of AHP and ELECTRE methods employed to solve the problem of choosing the freight transportation route and mode.
