In this paper, we consider the problem of bus selection for public transportation using a hybrid multicriteria decision making approach. The problem includes several conflicting factors which are economic, social, and technological factors. The integrated approach brings the flexibility of fuzzy AHP and simplicity of fuzzy VIKOR methodology together. To demonstrate the applicability of the meth...

Decision makers (DMs) face different levels of uncertainty throughout the decision making process. In particular, natural language is generally subjective or ambiguous when used to express perceptions and judgments. The aim of this paper is to extend the VIKOR method and develop a methodology for solving multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems with stochastic data. The weights of the sto...

Plant location selection has invariably a significant impact on the performance of many companies or manufacturing systems. In this paper, a new integrated methodology is structured to solve this selection problem. Two well-known decision making methods, namely analytic hierarchical process (AHP) and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR), are combined in order to make the...

this paper seeks two goals concurrently, at one hand tries to assay the capability of topsis, vikor and similarity-based approach as multiple attribute decision making approaches in evaluating mutual funds in iran stock exchange, and at the other hand in this evaluation tries to consider and compare three groups of indices including general evaluating indices (age, net value of mutual fund’s as...

Learning is to bring about permanent behavioral change in the individual. Different methods and models are used for realization of learning. The face-to-face learning model, which has served education many years, leaves its place other with development technology. However, some lack enthusiasm deficiencies experienced during this transition process affect learner's decisions terms psychological...

Highways are one of the main structures cities in field economic, social, and environmental facilities that connect cities, regions, people each other. Determining suitable highway routes includes difficult complex processes due to construction costs. Additionally, priorities, expectations, constraints for parameters must be considered together provide efficient solutions requirements. Multi Cr...

This study aims to find out the strategic priorities of technical factors have sustainable low carbon industry. For this purpose, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is proposed that contains three different stages. First, economic criteria required for development and needs industry are defined by making comprehensive literature review. After that, weighted using fuzzy trial evaluat...

Abstract: Optimal siting of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) is crucial to the sustainable development of electric vehicle systems. Considering the defects of previous heuristic optimization models in tackling subjective factors, this paper employs a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to address the issue of EVCS siting. The initial criteria for optimal EVCS siting are se...

The VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) method, which is a multi-criteria decision-making examined in this paper. like other MCDM techniques such as the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), widely used solve complex problems various fields engineering, management, and finance. This paper provides an overview including its applicati...
