Abstract
The objective of this work is to present a procedure to obtain an index representing the environmental performance of a load transportation mode in orde to have an instrument to guide decision-making processes regarding the choice of a sustainable mode for load transportation. The proposed index will be derived from the integration of several indicators related to different environmental aspects that could be damaged by diverse activities performed. This integration will be achieved using fuzzy logic and a neurofuzzy architecture. This index will assist enterprises when planning a sustainable load transportation service, environmental agencies in controlling such a service and the society preserving the environment and insuring quality of life.
