“…One of the disadvantages of the AHP method is that it requires a large number of inputs. In order to solve this problem, Inti and Tandon [82] presented a modified AHP method with the characteristics of the additive transitivity of fuzzy relations. The model was tested in the selection of contractors for the construction of transport infrastructure.…”

Sustainability is one of the main challenges of the recent decades. In this regard, several prior studies have used different techniques and approaches for solving this problem in the field of sustainability engineering. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is an important technique that presents a systematic approach for helping decisionmakers in this field. The main goal of this paper is to review the literature concerning the application of MCDM methods in the field of sustainable engineering. The Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection Database was chosen to identify 108 papers in the period of 2008–2018. The selected papers were classified into five categories, including construction and infrastructure, supply chains, transport and logistics, energy, and other. In addition, the articles were classified based on author, year, application area, study objective and problem, applied methods, number of published papers, and name of the journal. The results of this paper show that sustainable engineering is an area that is quite suitable for the use of MCDM. It can be concluded that most of the methods used in sustainable engineering are based on traditional approaches with a noticeable trend towards applying the theory of uncertainty, such as fuzzy, grey, rough, and neutrosophic theory.

Decision-Making in the Transport Sector: A Sustainable Evaluation Method for Road Infrastructure

et al. 2020

The transport sector is often the center of political and scientific debate on sustainability due to negative externalities produced by the daily movement of goods and people which impact both on the environment and on quality of life. Great interest has therefore focused on impact estimation of transport infrastructures/services with respect to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Among the consolidated assessment methods, the cost–benefit analysis (CBA) is one of the quantitative tools representing the final stage (decision) in decision-making processes, which compares design alternatives and verifies the sustainability of a transport project. Recently the Italian Government proposed the national “Guidelines for Assessment of Investment Projects” based on CBA. The aim of this research is twofold: a) from a research point of view, to propose a sustainable evaluating method for impact assessment of the new transportation infrastructure aimed in performing both rational and shared decisions with the territories; b) for a practical point of view, to propose a first application of the CBA Italian guideline useful for the professional practice in the field of public investment evaluation. A quantitative impacts assessment of social, economic and environmental sustainability was performed for a revamping project of a new “greenway” in the south of Italy. Furthermore, also the social equity impacts produced by the new road infrastructure was also quantified, estimating the GINI indexes variation as a measure of effectiveness.

“…Barić et al (2016) have also pointed out the main drawback of applying the AHP model which is a large number of inputs making the validation of the obtained results more difficult. In order to solve this problem, Inti & Tandon (2017) presented a modified AHP method characterized by additive transitivity of fuzzy relations. The model was tested in choosing a contractor for the construction of transportation infrastructure.…”

Introduction/purpose: Adequate evaluation and choice of off-road vehicles used in performing various types of assignments is a very important factor which affects user mobility and safety as well as the quality and efficiency of carrying out transportation activities in the Serbian Armed Forces (SAF). Methods: This paper thus proposes the BWM (Best Worst Method) and the COPRAS (Compressed Proportional Assessment) models for the selection of the optimal off-road vehicle for the needs of the SAF. The relative weight of the criteria used to assess potential off-road vehicles was established using the BWM method. In addition to the COPRAS method which is a component of the basic decision-making model, in this paper, the MABAC (MiltiAttributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) and MAIRCA (MultiAttributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) methods were also applied through result validation. Results: By testing the BWM-COPRAS model on the example of optimal off-road vehicle selection in the SAF, a high rank correlation was achieved. The results were validated through the statistical processing of the results obtained through the implementation of various multi-criteria techniques by applying the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Conclusion: The results display stability of the results of the proposed model in ranking alternatives and prove the feasibility of the proposed approach to handle multi-criteria decision making problems.
