A Model Proposal for a Multi-Objective and Multi-Criteria Vehicle Assignment Problem: An Application for a Security Organization

Abstract

Law enforcement agencies have great importance to provide peace and prosperity for the community. If the quality level of policing services is high, stability within the country will also increase. The law enforcement authorities transfer their policing services to people by means of using tools and equipment. In this study, this subject has been studied in order to improve the service quality of motor vehicles to increase efficiency in the assignments area. For the assignment of the vehicle, four main criteria and fifteen sub-criteria are defined. The criteria's weights achieving the desired goal are calculated using the Analytic Network Process (ANP). The obtained weights have been subjected to the evaluation of performance in terms of each vehicle and each region where it can be assigned. The decision model with four basic objectives, containing service, cost, time and usage of technical capacity to ensure the use of vehicles at optimum efficiency, is designed. After weighting of the criteria, a mathematical model aiming at maximizing the service and the effectiveness of using the technical capacity of vehicle and minimizing the time and cost has been developed. The results are compared with the current situation. The study has been tested with three different scenarios having different objective priorities.

Resource allocation to strategies of quality management with FANP and Goal Programming approach

“…As mentioned in literature review, in the field of hybrid methods, most of the previous research works have used combination of AHP‒GP, such as Gür et al (2016), Gül and Eren (2017), Hamurcu et al (2016) and Memarian et al (2015). Also, some research works have used ANP or AHP combined with multi-object programming such as Acar and Aplak (2016) and Kumar et al (2017). As discussed, according to attributes, methods’ advantages and conditions in the present research, the best combination is FANP‒GP.…”

“…Also, due to the fuzzy nature of the problem, the MCDM technique, ANP, is combined with fuzzy logic; therefore, FANP is integrated with 0‒1 GP. In the research work of Acar and Aplak (2016), in order to improve the service quality of motor vehicles to increase efficiency in the assignments area, four main criteria and fifteen sub-criteria are defined. The criteria’s weights achieving the desired goal are calculated using the ANP.…”

Achieving a Sustainable Transportation System via Economic, Environmental, and Social Optimization: A Comprehensive AHP-DEA Approach from the Waste Transportation Sector

“…The authors of [33] developed a framework to examine the operational effectiveness of transportation networks. In addition, [34] presented a solution to the logistics challenge that takes into account various inputs and outputs associated with each transportation route. Other research proposed a multimodal transportation routing approach based on the cost and emissions criteria [35].…”

Optimal Control Analysis of a Mathematical Model for Breast Cancer

“…The units of cells were normalized in order for the carrying capacity of normal cells to be kept above threshold of 0 ≤ t ≤ t f [34][35][36]. On the other hand, the aim is to reduce the tumor-size which indicates the degree of the disease in the body and it requires the application of as much anti-cancer drugs as much as possible.…”
