  In this study a consensus building process based on a combination of Analytic
Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Delphi method is presented and applied to the
decision-making process about alternative policy measures to promote cycling
mobility. An agent-based model is here used to reproduce the same process of
convergence of opinions, with the aim to understand the role of network
topology, stakeholder influence and other sensitive variables on the emergence
of consensus. It can be a useful tool for decision-makers to guide them in
planning effective participation processes.
