“…The first group comprises methods that do not require information about the criteria, such as the domination method, MAXIMIN method, and MAXIMAX method. The second group consists of methods that necessitate specific information about the criteria, including MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) [12,13], TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) [14][15][16][17], EDAS [18][19][20][21], MAIRCA (Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) [22], VIKOR (Višekriterĳumsko kompromisno rangiranje) [15], AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) [12,16,23,24], SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) [25], and so on.…”

In the pursuit of sustainable urban development, the implementation of cleaner propulsion systems in public transportation emerges as a critical strategy to reduce urban pollution and emissions. This study focuses on the City of Niš, where conventional propulsion vehicles, predominantly buses, contribute significantly to environmental degradation. The necessity to adopt alternative propulsion systems is underscored by the myriad of limitations and uncertainties that accompany such a transition. To address this complexity, the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) method was employed to derive weight coefficients, while the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method was utilized to select optimal propulsion systems. These methodologies facilitated a comprehensive evaluation of alternatives, including buses, electric trolleybuses, and trams, for both city and suburban public transport. The integration of these multi-criteria decision-making techniques enabled a systematic analysis of each alternative against established criteria, thereby assisting in the identification of the most advantageous propulsion systems. This approach not only aids in making informed decisions that align with sustainability objectives but also contributes significantly to mitigating the environmental impact of urban transport. The findings from this study provide a foundational framework that supports decision-makers in the strategic implementation of environmentally sustainable transport solutions in urban settings.

“…There exist several globally recognized top-tier methods of MCDM, often referred to as "higher-level" methods. Some of the most well-known methods for MCDM include TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions) [10][11][12][13][14], AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) [10,13,[15][16][17], EDAS [18][19][20][21][22], VIKOR (Višekriterijumsko kompromisno rangiranje) [12], MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) [15,23], MAIRCA (Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) [24], SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) [25], and so on.…”

“…Additionally, it's vital to assign weight coefficients to each criterion, indicating their relative significance in the decision-making process. Weight coefficients, which assign importance to different criteria in MCDM, can be determined using various methods such as entropy [14,25], CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) [27], FUCOM (FUll COnsistency Method) [27], and so on.…”

The transport sector, pivotal in sustaining economic activity and regional development, stands as a double-edged sword, enhancing competitiveness and mobility while posing substantial challenges to environmental sustainability. It remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, characterized by inefficient infrastructure and scant emphasis on environmental stewardship. This trajectory not only undermines long-term viability but also exacerbates pollution levels, including greenhouse gases and air and noise pollutants, thus degrading environmental quality and posing health risks globally. Consequently, there is an imperative need for a paradigm shift towards sustainable transport practices. This study employs the Ranking Alternatives with Weights of Criterion (RAWEC) methodology to assess the sustainability of various transport modes within the European Union in 2020. Evaluation criteria included employment numbers, turnover, final energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and transport-related fatalities. Criterion weight coefficients were calculated using the Standard Deviation Method, Entropy, and FANMA methods. The findings underscore the necessity for strategic adjustments in transportation planning and policy to align with sustainability objectives.

The purpose of performance evaluation is to generate measurable data on an organization's performance, with the goal of assisting managerial decision-making and enhancing overall performance. In this study, the key performance indicators (KPIs) for railway transportation companies are identified based on expert opinions and previous frameworks. The operational performance of various railway freight transport companies was evaluated using multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM). Among the MCDM approaches, the Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method was applied as the main method. In addition to the EDAS method, alternative MCDM methods such as TOPSIS, PROMETHEE II, and COPRAS were used to highlight potential deviations when compared to the results obtained with the EDAS method. Based on the research findings, three out of the seven KPIs, namely safety, have the highest weight at 38%, followed by punctuality at 19%, and journey time at 12%. Subsequently, companies were ranked according to their performance based on all KPIs. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to demonstrate how changes in the relative weights of KPIs can affect the results.
