Current models for evaluating sustainable transport corridors often lack a comprehensive
framework capturing the multifaceted performance measures vital for holistic assessment especially
at the early stages of operation, when detailed information on the performance indicators of these
transport corridors is not available. This gap motivates a Petri net-based modeling approach that
integrates key sustainability indicators into a flexible simulation tool. This paper details a versatile
methodology harnessing Petri nets, specifically Evaluation Petri nets (E-Nets), to assess corridor
sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The proposed framework
equips planners and policymakers to explore diverse green corridor configurations under varying
conditions. Case studies showcase the model’s capabilities in analyzing real-world corridors, identifying performance bottlenecks, and comparing alternative solutions. The model provides a practical
decision-support tool to strengthen strategies for efficient, socially responsible, and environmentally
sound transport infrastructure. This research advances the theoretical foundations and demonstrates
the practical value of Petri nets as an enabling methodology for modeling the intricate dynamics of
sustainable transport corridors. This paper demonstrates how E-Nets provide a visual and quantitative representation of transport operations, enabling stakeholders to identify inefficiencies and
potential improvements. This paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings of the E-Net modeling
of transport corridors, the advantages and limitations of its application, and suggests avenues for
future research to enhance the model’s predictive power and real-world application. The paper
concludes that the E-Net approach is a scalable, adaptable tool that can significantly con-tribute to the
sustainable development of international transport corridors, providing a framework for continuous
improvement in alignment with global sustainability objectives.
