본 연구에서는 고속도로 공사구간에 이동이 가능한 PVMS(Portable Variable Message Sign)를 일정 간격으로 설치하여 VSL을 구현하는 교통류 제어전략을 구성하여 공사구간에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하고자 하였다. 다기준 의사결정 기법 중 하나인 AHP기법 및 다기준 가치함수를 이용하여 교통소통, 교통안전, 환경을 대표하는 척도들을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 평가 방법론을 정립하였으며, VSL전략의 도입 전 후 개선효과를 도출하고 실시간으로 수집되는 교통량 및 중차량 혼입율을 고려한 최적 VSL전략 대안선정을 연구의 목표로 하였다. 개발된 평가 방법론을 통해 시뮬레이션 결과를 분석하였으며, 결과의 통계적 유의성 검정을 위해 분산분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, VSL 대안 2(PVMS 400m간격)가 6개의 Case에서, VSL 대안 1(PVMS 200m간격)이 5개의 Case에서, VSL 대안 4(PVMS 800m간격)는 1개의 Case에서 최적 대안으로 도출되었다. VSL 대안 3(PVMS 600m간격)는 모든 Case에서 최적 대안으로 선택되지 않았으며 4개 Case에서 가장 안 좋은 대안으로 나타났다. 이는 VSL전략이 항상 개선된 효과를 보이지 않는 것을 의미하며 교통상황별로 적정 대안의 도입이 필요하다는 것을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서 시도된 AHP기법을 이용하여 여러 효과척도를 복합적으로 고려한 교통류관리전략 평가방법은 향후 다목적 의사결정방법의 교통류관리전략에 적용 시 하나의 예시가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 연구에서 제안하는 PVMS를 이용한 공사구간 VSL전략은 교통정보센터에서 실시간으로 수집되는 데이터를 통해 교통류 관리를 위한 운영 및 제어방안에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A facility layout design (FLD) problem can be generally introduced as assignment of facilities (departments) to a site such that a set of criteria are satisfied or some objectives are minimized (maximized). Hence, it can be considered as a multi-criteria problem due to the presence of qualitative criteria such as maintenance or flexibility and quantitative criteria such as the total cost of handling material. The VIKOR method was developed to solve multiple criteria decision making problems with conflicting and non-commensurable (different units) criteria, assuming that compromising is acceptable for conflict resolution, the decision maker wants a solution that is the closest to the ideal, and the alternatives are evaluated according to all established criteria. This paper proposes a hierarchical analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and VIKOR approach to solve the FLD problem. A computer-aided layout-planning tool is adopted to generate the facility layout problems, as well as their quantitative data. The qualitative performance measures are weighted by AHP. VIKOR is then used to solve the FLD problem. Finally, the proposed integrated procedure is applied to three real-time examples.

Energy is a major component of almost all economic, production, and service activities, and rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have led to ever growing demand for energy. Limited energy resources and increasingly evident environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption has led to a growing awareness about the importance of further use of renewable energy sources in the countries energy portfolio. Renewable hydrogen production is a convenient method for storage of unstable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for use in other place or time. In this study, suitability of 25 cities located in Iran's western region for renewable hydrogen production are evaluated by multi-criteria decision making techniques including TOPSIS, VIKOR, ELECTRE, SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, and also hybrid ranking techniques. The choice of suitable location for the centralized renewable hydrogen production is associated with various technical, economic, social, geographic, and political criteria. This paper describes the criteria affecting the hydrogen production potential in the study region. Determined criteria are weighted with Shannon entropy method, and Angstrom model and wind power model are used to estimate respectively the solar and wind energy production potential in each city and each month. Assuming the use of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production, the renewable hydrogen production potential of each city is then estimated based on the obtained wind and solar energy generation potentials. The rankings obtained with MCDMs show that Kermanshah is the best option for renewable hydrogen production, and evaluation of renewable hydrogen production capacities show that Gilangharb has the highest capacity among the studied cities.

Increase in population and its daily increasing in our today society results in an increase in housing demand while traditional methods are not applicable. The project preparation and realization processes, based on theoretical and empirical studies, a creation of goods, services, and technologies, are the most important human activities. Selection of effective technological systems in construction is a complex multi-criteria decision-making task. Many decision-makers refuse innovations once faced with similar difficulties. Therefore, using modern materials and methods in this industry is necessary. Modern methods increase quality and construction speed in addition to decrease energy consumption and costs. One of the problems in the way of any project is selecting construction system compatible with the project needs and characteristics. In the present research, different concrete structures such as common reinforced concrete (RC) structure, prefabricated, Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF), 3D Panel and Tunnel Concrete Formwork (TCF) for buildings with limited floors in Iran are studied and compared from the viewpoint of different criteria like cost, time, applicability and technical characteristics with industrialization approach. Therefore, some questionnaires filled out by construction industry experts in order to compare criteria and sub-criteria in addition to evaluation of optimized structural systems. Then, results of the questionnaires ranked by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the most effective alternative selected. The AHP results show that 3D Panel system 36.5%, ICF 21.7%, TCF 19.03%, prefabricated system 13.3% and common RC system 9.3% are the most and the least efficient systems respectively.

본 논문의 목적은 국가 로드맵 상에 제시된 7대 부문(산업, 수송, 건물, 공공, 농림어업, 폐기물, 전환)에 대한 부문별 감축 수단을 대상으로 향후 보다 발전적인 이행전략을 분석하는 것이다. AHP와 ANP 방법론을 활용해 방법론 간 차이점이 나타난 부문과 그렇지 않은 부문을 비교분석하였다. 감축대상인 7대 부문 대부분에서 이행목표로서 비용효율성과 효과성(기술개발, 감축성과)보다는 이행가능성이 상대적으로 중요한 것으로 분석되었다. 평가기준에서는 공공, 전환 부문에서 방법론에 따라 최우선순위가 바뀌었으며, 감축방안에 해당하는 대안의 우선순위 및 기준 관점의 대안 내 우선순위도 방법론에 따른 차이가 나타났다.

Software measurement is a key factor in managing, controlling, and improving the software development processes. Software quality is one of the most important factors for assessing the global competitive position of any software company. Thus the quantification of quality parameters and integrating them into quality models is very essential. Software quality criteria are not very easily measured and quantified. Many attempts have been made to exactly quantify the software quality parameters using various models such as ISO/IEC 9126 Quality Model, Boehm's Model, McCall's model, etc. In this paper an attempt has been made to provide a tool for precisely quantifying software quality factors with the help of quality factors stated in ISO/IEC 9126 model. Due to the unpredictable nature of the software quality attributes, the fuzzy multi criteria approach has been used to evolve the quality of the software.

In this study, the priority of risk factors in supplying water through water supply pipeline network was evaluated by PROMETHEE and ANP multi-criteria decision analysis. We chose 'corrosion', 'burst' and 'water pollution' in pipe as major reference criteria and selected eight risk factors to evaluate the priority, and then we compared the results of PROMETHEE with those of ANP. We also analyzed the results of the sensitivity analysis by changing the weights and parameters of preference functions in PROMETHEE. We investigated the possibility of integrating two methods by using the results of ANP as the weights of preference function in PROMETHEE. The priority of risk factors for supplying municipal water which is evaluated by this study may provide basic data to establish a contingency plan for accidents, or to establish the specific emergency response procedures.

Nowadays, using math logic in great civil projects is considered by the clients to achieve the goals of project including quality optimization, costs, avoiding individual, emotional and political decision making, long-term and short-term goals and they are the main requirements of each project and should be considered by the decision makers to avoid the illogical decision making applied on the majority of civil projects and this imposes great financial and spiritual costs on our country. The present study attempts to present one of the civil projects (Ghasre Shirin storage dam) whose client was not ministry of energy for the first time and the short-term and long-term goals of the private sector were applied based on the triangle of quality, cost and time. Also, the math logic and model (multi-criteria decision making method and decision making matrix) is used in one of the most important sections of project, sealing element, policies and new materials (Geosynthetics) are considered and this leads to suitable decision making in this regard. It is worth to mention that this method is used for other sections of a dam including body, water diversion system, diaphragm and other sectors or in other civil projects of building, road construction, etc.

The paper presents problems of optimization of the synthesis of embedded systems, in particular Pareto optimization. The model of such a system for its design for high-level of abstract is based on the classic approach known from the theory of task scheduling, but it is significantly extended, among others, by the characteristics of tasks and resources as well as additional criteria of optimal system in scope structure and operation. The metaheuristic algorithm operating according to this model introduces a new approach to system synthesis, in which parallelism of task scheduling and resources partition is applied. An algorithm based on a genetic approach with simulated annealing and Boltzmann tournaments, avoids local minima and generates optimized solutions. Such a synthesis is based on the implementation of task scheduling, resources identification and partition, allocation of tasks and resources and ultimately on the optimization of the designed system in accordance with the optimization criteria regarding cost of implementation, execution speed of processes and energy consumption by the system during operation. This paper presents examples and results for multi-criteria optimization, based on calculations for specifying non-dominated solutions and indicating a subset of Pareto solutions in the space of all solutions.

Every public agency governing infrastructure has to plan effectively for rehabilitation of existing facilities within the constraints of the capital program. Numerous technical, social, political, financial, and management constraints govern the decision to rehabilitate a facility. However, without a systematic procedure for selecting facilities for rehabilitation, within the prevailing constraints, it is possible that the funds available for rehabilitation might be suboptimized. Therefore, a decision support system that assists the user in selecting facilities for rehabilitation while considering the technical, social, financial, and political and management constraints will be useful in the decision-making process. This paper compares the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the Swing Weight method used to prioritize functional criteria for suburban station rehabilitation. This paper also contains a brief discussion about the relevance of the Multi Attribute utility theory in developing a decision model for the problem at hand. The results of this paper provides the user with a decision support system that would prioritize the stations in order of their weights obtained by a systematic evaluation of various criteria and sub-criteria involved in the decision making process
