Toward Sustainable Urban Drainage Infrastructure Planning: A Combined Multiobjective Optimization and Multicriteria Decision-Making Platform

Multicriteria Optimization and Decision Making

Decision-Making and Sustainable Drainage: Design and Scale

Sustainable Drainage (SuDS) improves water quality, reduces runoff water quantity, increases amenity and biodiversity benefits, and can also mitigate and adapt to climate change. However, an optimal solution has to be designed to be fit for purpose. Most research concentrates on individual devices, but the focus of this paper is on a full management train, showing the scale-related decision-mak...

An integrated optimisation platform for sustainable resource and infrastructure planning

It is crucial for sustainable planning to consider broad environmental and social dimensions and systemic implications of new infrastructure to build more resilient societies, reduce poverty, improve humanwellbeing, mitigate climate change and address other global change processes. This article presents resilience.io,2 a platform to evaluate new infrastructure projects by assessing their design...

Integrating Approximation and Interactive Decision Making in Multicriteria Optimization

We present a new interactive hybrid approach for solving multicriteria optimization problems where features of approximation methods and interactive approaches are incorporated. We produce rough approximations of the nondominated set and let the decision maker indicate with the help of reference points where to refine the approximation. In this way, (s)he iteratively directs the search towards ...

Spatial Multicriteria Decision Making

DEFINITION Multicriteria analysis is generally defined as “a decision-aid and a mathematical tool allowing the comparison of different alternatives or scenarios according to many criteria, often conflicting, in order to guide the decision maker towards a judicious choice” [12]. The set of decision alternatives considered in a given problem is often denoted by A and called the set of potential a...
