Original scientific paper The problems of choosing an optimal solution for the position of the route of infrastructural facilities is present in most developed countries. The primary problem is the identification and objective consideration of all influencing factors. The aim of this paper is to show that with the application of multiplecriteria analysis, conclusions related to the evaluation and selection of the appropriate railroad route can be reached in the process of planning and design. This paper provides an overview of the possible consideration and evaluation of alternative railroad route solutions. To achieve the goal of research, a model of the selection of an optimal railroad route by using the multiple-criteria analysis has been set. The proposed theoretical model was applied for the selection of the railroad route that connects Rijeka, Koper, and Trieste.Keywords: case study; multiple-criteria analysis; queuing system; railroad system; Rijeka-Koper-Trieste railroad line; traffic modelling Model odabira optimalne trase željezničke pruge primjenom višekriterijske analizeIzvorni znastveni članak Problematika odabira optimalnog rješenja smještaja trase infrastrukturnih objekata prisutna je u većini razvijenih država. Pritom je primarni problem prepoznavanja i objektivnog sagledavanja svih utjecajnih čimbenika. Cilj je ovoga rada pokazati kako se primjenom metode višekriterijske analize mogu dobiti zaključci vezani za vrednovanje i izbor odgovarajuće trase željezničke pruge pri postupku planiranja i projektiranja. U radu se daje pregled mogućeg sagledavanja i vrednovanja varijantnih rješenja trasa željezničke pruge. Za ostvarenje cilja istraživanja postavljen je model odabira optimalne trase željezničke pruge primjenom višekriterijske analize. Predloženi teoretski model primijenjen je za odabir željezničke trase koja povezuje Rijeku, Kopar i Trst.

“…The most well-known MCDM methods include Multiple Attribute Utility Theory (Keeney and Raiffa, 1993), Analytical Hierarchy Process (Saaty, 1980), Analytical Network Process (Saaty, 2001), Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) (J.P. Brans, 1986), Elimination et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) (Roy, 1991) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) (Hwang and Yoon, 1981). A number of authors have reviewed these methods for the application of aiding waste management and energy planning decisions.…”

Energy recovery from municipal solid waste plays a key role in sustainable waste management and energy security. However, there are numerous technologies that vary in suitability for different economic and social climates. This study sets out to develop and apply a multi-criteria decision making methodology that can be used to evaluate the trade-offs between the benefits, opportunities, costs and risks of alternative energy from waste technologies in both developed and developing countries. The technologies considered are mass burn incineration, refuse derived fuel incineration, gasification, anaerobic digestion and landfill gas recovery. By incorporating qualitative and quantitative assessments, a preference ranking of the alternative technologies is produced. The effect of variations in decision criteria weightings are analysed in a sensitivity analysis. The methodology is applied principally to compare and assess energy recovery from waste options in the UK and India. These two countries have been selected as they could both benefit from further development of their waste-to-energy strategies, but have different technical and socio-economic challenges to consider. It is concluded that gasification is the preferred technology for the UK, whereas anaerobic digestion is the preferred technology for India. We believe that the presented methodology will be of particular value for waste-to-energy decision-makers in both developed and developing countries.

Os modelos de apoio à decisão são importantes ferramentas que podem ser utilizadas para analisar alternativas tecnológicas na gestão e tratamento de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) frente a diversas situações envolvendo aspectos políticos, econômicos, ambientais e sociais. Este estudo teve como objetivo propor tecnologias e arranjos tecnológicos para o tratamento adequado de RSU para a Região Sul do Brasil, por meio do levantamento de informações e uso de dois modelos de apoio à decisão: AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) e Promethee II (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations). As tecnologias analisadas foram: reciclagem, compostagem, tratamento mecânico-biológico, digestão anaeróbia, incineração com geração de energia elétrica em ciclo combinado (energia elétrica e térmica), aterro sanitário com e sem geração de energia. Essas tecnologias foram hierarquizadas nos modelos com base em quatro critérios: ambientais, sociais, econômicos e políticos. Como resultado, foram propostos quatro arranjos tecnológicos possíveis para a Região Sul e que podem ser utilizados como referência para estudos nas demais regiões geográficas do Brasil.
