Summary/Abstract: When modernising train stations, several options are usually available for the layout of the tracks and its parameters. The best option is chosen by assessing different criteria; it is not an exact procedure, but a compromise between often different perspectives. Many methods are available to aid the decision-making process in these situations; the authors of this article apply mutually combined multi-criteria and qualitative risk analysis to assess two self-proposed options for the modernisation of the Bakov nad Jizerou station (situated in Central Bohemia in the Czech Republic).
