Abstract
In this paper we discuss our use of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to perform an environmental assessment analysis of the main transportation roads that cross the Pyrenees between Spain and France. We use AHP to select the most sustainable distribution routes to mitigate the pollution impact of transportation activities. Two companies in Navarre, Hydro Inasa and GamesaEólica, have implemented our recommendations into their distribution activities. Openbravo has also incorporated them into its software development to select the most environmentally suitable routes in the delivery processes for its customers.
