The process of an analysis of alternatives(AoA) attempts to select the best and balanced solution among a set of multiple candidate solutions under the constraints of cost, schedule, performance and risk(CSPR). The traditional AoA for the acquisition of a new weapon system has usually centered on the sequence of the requirement analysis, design synthesis, and cost estimation. An improved process for AoA is developed in this paper based on a multi-objective decision-making method, which is intended to be applied in the design concept refinement and material solution analysis stage for the acquisition of naval surface ships. The presentation of the proposed AoA approach is then followed by a case study for the next generation multi-purpose training ship based on the principles of systems engineering and also using the models of the effectiveness measure, cost estimation, and risk assessments.

가뭄 피해 극복을 위한 인공 함양지 통합관리시스템의 일부로써 지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 의사결정을 전달하는 인공지능 스마트 계측기의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기되어 왔으나 실용성과 효율성을 동시에 갖춘 계측기는 시장에 출시되지 않았다. 기존의 계측기는 단순 측정이 목적이었으며 분석을 위해서는 일정 기간 직접 계측하여 분석하거나, 계측데이터를 원격 망을 통하여 서버로 전송하고 관리자가 데이터를 해석하는 방식을 취하였다. 또한, 수질 계측과 수질의 미소 변동성을 동시에 계측하여 수질 변화상태를 판단 할 수 있는 수질 계측기는 상품화되지 않아 다목적 수질 분석에 한계점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 한계점이 기존의 지하수 수질 계측기로는 불가능한 수중 라돈을 채수 없이 계측 가능하도록 하고, 순간 수질 변화 및 수질 변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 라돈, 전도도, 수위, 수온 및 필름형 pH 센서를 개발하여 적용한 다항목 계측기로 통합하는 연구가 필요한 이유이다. 개발한 계측기는 빅데이터 기반의 지능형 수질 변동성 분석 알고리즘을 내장하고 수직 깊이 방향의 다중심도 계측이 가능하도록 핵심적인 통신 연결성을 확보하였고 다양한 수질에서 견딜 수 있으며 특히 인공함양에서 발생하는 철, 망간에 부식되지 않는 재질을 이용하여 설계한 '지표수-지하수 연계 특성 분석용 다심도 및 인공지능 스마트 계측장치'이다. 본 장치는 기존 지하수 수질 계측기에서는 불가능하였던 순간 수위변화 및 수위변화 요인분석이 가능한 계측을 위하여 초당 측정 샘플링 주파수(10Hz)를 높인 계측회로를 개발하여 적용하였다.

This paper focuses on dispatching strategy for AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicle). The goal of AGV dispatching is assigning AGVs to requested job to minimizing the delay of QCs and the travel distance of AGVs. Due to the high dynamic nature of container terminal environment, the effect of dispatching is hard to predict thus it leads to frequent modification of dispatching decisions. In this situation, approaches based on a single rule are widely used due to its simplicity and small computational cost. However, these approaches have a limitation that cannot guarantee a satisfactory performance for the various performance measures. In this paper, dispatching strategy based on multicriteria heuristics is proposed. The Proposed strategy consists of multiple decision criteria. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is applied to optimize weights of those criteria. The result of simulation experiment shows that the proposed approach outperforms single rule-based dispatching approaches.

Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage/Sequestration (CCS) technology has attracted attention as an ideal method for most carbon dioxide reduction needs. When the collected carbon dioxide is transported to storage via pipelines, the direct transport is made if the storage is close, otherwise it can also be transported via an intermediate storage hub. Determining the number and the location of the intermediate storage hubs is an important problem. A decision-making algorithm using a mathematical model for solving the problem requires considerably more variables and constraints to describe the multi-objective decision, but the computational complexity of the problem increases and it also does not guarantee the optimality. This research proposes an algorithm to determine the location and the number of the intermediate storage hub and develop a simulator for the connection network of the carbon dioxide emission site. The simulator also provides the course of transportation of the carbon dioxide. As a case study, this model is applied to Korea.

This paper deals with a methodology for searching optimal route of hazard material (hazmat) vehicles. When we make a decision of hazmat optimal paths, there is a conflict between the public aspect which wants to minimize risk and the private aspect which has a goal of minimizing travel time. This paper presents Efficient Vector Labeling algorithm as a methodology for searching optimal path of hazmat transportation, which is intrinsically one of the multi-criteria decision making problems. The output of the presented algorithm is a set of Pareto optimal paths considering both risk and travel time at a time. Also, the proposed algorithm is able to identify non-dominated paths which are significantly different from each other in terms of links used. The proposed Efficient Vector Labeling algorithm are applied to test bed network and compared with the existing k-shortest path algorithm. Analysis of result shows that the proposed algorithm is more efficient and advantageous in searching reasonable alternative routes than the existing one.

MODM (multiobjective decision-making) problem is very complex system for the analyst. The problem is more complex if the goals of each of the objective functions are expressed imprecisely. It requires suitable MODM method to deal with imprecisions. Therefore, we present a new interactive fuzzy decision making method for solving multiobjective nonlinear programming problems by assuming that the decision maker (DM) has imprecise goals that assume fuzzy linguistic variable for each of the objective functions. The imprecise goals of the DM are quantified by eliciting corresponding membership functions through the interactive with the DM out of six membership functions. After determining membership functions, in order to generate the compromise or satisficing solution which is .lambda.-pareto optimal, .lambda.-max problem is solved. The higher degree of membership is chosen to satisfy imprecise goals of all objective functions by combining the membership functions. Then, the values are the compromise or satisficing solution. On the basis of the proposed method, and interactive computer programming is written to implement man-machine interactive procedures. Our programming is a revised version of sequential unconstrained minimization technique. Finally, a numerical example illustrates various aspects of the results developed in this paper.

It is necessary to manage water resources in rural areas in order to achieve proper development of new water resources, sustainable usage and reasonable distribution. This paper aims to analyze multi-temporal Landsat-7 ETM+data for soil moisture that is essential for crops in Ahnsung area. The ETM data was also fused with KOMPSAT-1 images in order to be used as backdrop watershed maps at first. Multi-temporal Images showed also the characteristics of soil moisture distribution. Images taken in April showed that rice paddy had as low reflectance as artificial features. Compared with April scenes, those taken in Hay and June showed wetness index increased in the rice paddies. The mountainous areas have almost constant moisture index, so the difference between the dates was very low while reservoirs and livers had dramatic changes. We can calculate total potential areas of distribution of moisture content within the basin and estimate the areas being sensitive to drought. Finally we can point out the sites of small rice paddies lack of water and visualize their distribution within the same basin. It can be said that multi-temporal Landsat-7 ETM+ and KOMPSAT data can be used to show broad drought with quick and simple analysis. Drought sensitiveness maps may enable the decision makers on rural water to evaluate the risk of drought and to measure mitigation, accompanied with proper data on the hydrological and climatic drought.

This paper focuses on dispatching strategy for AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicle). The goal of AGV dispatching problem is allocating jobs to AGVs to minimizing QC delay and AGV total travel distance. Due to the highly dynamic nature of container terminal environment, the effect of dispatching is hard to predict thus it leads to frequent modification of dispatching results. Given this situation, single rule-based approach is widely used due to its simplicity and small computational cost. However, single rule-based approach has a limitation that cannot guarantee a satisfactory performance for the various performance measures. In this paper, dispatching strategy based on multicriteria heuristics is proposed. Proposed strategy consists of multiple decision criteria. A muti-objective evolutionary algorithm is applied to optimize weights of those criteria. The result of simulation experiment shows that the proposed approach outperforms single rule-based dispatching approaches.

This study aims to provide useful information when making a decision for the environmental and economic efficiency assessment of infrastructure, based on Life Cycle Assessment(LCA). It estimates environmental cost on environmental pollutants that are possible to happen by locations and by types of emergency spillway for korean multipurpose dam, which is selected as a study case. For this purpose, this study examines the theories of LCA and Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) and suggests an analysis model of environmental cost. To apply the suggested analysis model of environmental cost for infrastructure to the case study of emergency spillway at the multipurpose dam, this study calculates environmental load on environmental pollutants that generate during life cycle, converts it to a cost to predict environmental cost, evaluates environmental economy of emergency spillway by the estimated result, and draws the optimum alternative that is environmental-friendly and economic.

Most of real-world decision-making processes are used to optimize problems with many objectives of conflicting. Since the betterment of some objectives requires the sacrifice of other objectives, different objectives may not be optimized simultaneously. Consequently, Pareto solution can be considered as candidates of a solution with respect to a multi-objective optimization (MOP). Such problem involves two main procedures: finding Pareto solutions and choosing one solution among them. So-called multi-objective genetic algorithms have been proved to be effective for finding many Pareto solutions. In this study, we suggest a fitness evaluation method based on the achievement level up to the target value to improve the solution search performance by the multi-objective genetic algorithm. Using numerical examples and benchmark problems, we compare the proposed method, which considers the achievement level, with conventional Pareto ranking methods. Based on the comparison, it is verified that the proposed method can generate a highly convergent and diverse solution set. Most of the existing multi-objective genetic algorithms mainly focus on finding solutions, however the ultimate aim of MOP is not to find the entire set of Pareto solutions, but to choose one solution among many obtained solutions. We further propose an interactive decision-making process based on a visualized trade-off analysis that incorporates the satisfaction of the decision maker. The findings of the study will serve as a reference to build a multi-objective decision-making support system.
