Autonomous/self-driving vehicles have gained significant attention these days, as one of the intelligent transportation systems. However, those risks related to their physical implementation and security against cyber threats. Therefore, this study proposes a new security-by-design model for estimating uncertainty autonomous measuring risks; thus it assists decision-makers in addressing design ...

Abstract PROMETHEE is an important method for multi-criteria decision-making. Inspired by ensemble methods, this paper proposes an ensemble PROMETHEE II model, in which multiple preference functions are used to reduce the risk of choosing a particularly preference function. One example of competitiveness evaluation of the ports of Circum-Bohai-Sea is included to illustrate the proposed method. ...

one of the important decisions which impacts all firms’ activities is the supplier selection problem. since the 1950s, several works have addressed this problem by treating different aspects and instances. in this paper, a combined multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) technique (ea-promethee) has been applied to implement a proper decision making. to this aim, after reviewing the theoretica...

The aim of this paper is to present Decision Support Concept (DSC) for management of construction projects. Focus of our research is in application of multicritera methods (MCM) to decision making in planning phase of construction projects (related to the problem of construction sites selection). The problem is identified as a significant one from many different aspects such as economic aspect,...

Promethee II is a prominent method for multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) that builds a complete ranking on a set of potential actions by assigning each of them a so-called net flow score. However, to calculate these scores, each pair of actions has to be compared, causing the computational load to increase quadratically with the number of actions, eventually leading to prohibitive execution tim...

This paper describes the application of a well-known Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique called Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE II) to explore porphyry copper deposits. Various raster-based evidential layers involving geological, geophysical, and geochemical geo-datasets are integrated to prepare a mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In a...

Two outranking methods, ELECTRE III and PROMETHEE II, commonly used as decision-aid in various environmental problems, and their applications to decision support for natural resources management are presented. These methods represent ‘the European school’ of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), as opposed to ‘the American school’, represented by, for instance, the AHP method. On the basis of ...

This study investigates how the priority rankings for dam construction sites vary with multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques and generation approaches for incomplete information. Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) seeks to recommend sustainable dam construction sites based on their environmental and ecological impacts in a long-term plan for dam construction (LPDC) in South Kor...

Effects of alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) treatment on cellulose crystallinity and cell wall phenolic monomer and monosaccharide composition were measured using cotton and wheat straw (WS). Two WS treatments were used in this study, Type I WS, for which pH is not regulated during AHP treatment, and Type II WS, for which pH is regulated at 11.5 -+ .2 during AHP treatment. Wheat straw had a low...
