Construction is required to create more attractive, sustainable, and economically viable urban areas. However, transportation of construction-related goods and personnel potentially causes negative impacts. A lack of early and accurate information on how the construction site and goods will be organized can lead to disputes and disruptions that harm the construction work and the surrounding community. A method is presented for evaluation of alternative construction logistics measures in a multiactor participatory setting. The method, MAMCA software, has been demonstrated in a role-playing setting with 20 students at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.
