“…Six main types of PF can be found in the literature (Brans and Vincke, 1985): (1) usual, (2) U-shape, (3) linear, (4) level, (5) V-shape with linear preference and indifference area, and (6) Gaussian. In this case study, the V -Shape with linear preference and indifference area PF was selected for all indicators based on the authors' judgment as well as on the insights acquired from other studies (Geldermann and Rentz, 2005;Podvezko and Podviezko, 2010;Kilic et al, 2015;Dražić et al, 2016;Schmitt et al, 2017).…”

As pavement community members head into the future, the increasing social pressure towards the incorporation of sustainable principles into their work urge them (1) to come up with new materials and practices that reduce the negative impacts of their activities in the surroundings and (2) to develop methodologies and tools to encourage sustainable decision-making. To this end, this paper presents the development of a life cycle, performance-based, sustainability decision support system (DSS) for helping decision-makers (DMs)/stakeholders to prioritize alternative technologies for transportation systems with the ultimate objective of fostering sustainability in transportation projects. The framework relies on a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method to rank the sustainability of alternatives based on their life cycle sustainability performances and the relative priorities with respect to each environmental, economic and social criterion. The applicability of the proposed DSS is illustrated by means of a case study that aims to identify the most sustainable asphalt mixture amongst several promising options ranging from low to hot temperature asphalt for wearing courses of flexible road pavements. The sustainability assessment applies life cycle-based approaches to quantify the values of a set of indicators purposely and methodologically selected to capture the cause-effect link between the general concepts of the three Wellbeing dimensions of sustainability, i.e., environmental, economic and social, and the infrastructure construction and maintenance practice. The results show that a foamed WMA mixture with a RAP content of 50% is the most sustainable among the competing alternatives. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis conducted to investigate the influence of indicators weights and parameters of the MCDA method on the stability of the ranking showed that its first position in the ranking remained unaffected.

Nowadays, Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques are widely used to solve decision problems. In this study, current usage of two of the outranking-based MCDM techniques, namely ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) and PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations), is examined in detail. In order to find the usage of those mentioned techniques, the scientific studies carried out in 2016 and the first four months of 2017 are investigated via Google Scholar. For this reason, it is aimed that by showing the contemporary trends of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE, the results will create an understanding of how the techniques might be used in the future. The survey of the studies shows that the application areas of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE have a great diversification. The studies on the two techniques show that the researchers made some adjustments on ELECTRE and PROMETHEE in order to answer the problems posed in their research questions. A specially, in this study, it has been seen that some remarkable modern methods were included in the problem solving process such as to evaluate according to different scenarios, usage of metaheuristics for complex decisions, hesitant fuzzy implementations, proliferation of group decision preference, an increase on hybrid techniques, the change in the number of software used, big data usage, sensitivity analyses and finally two linguistic approaches taking an importance in fuzzification. Keywords:Multi Criteria Decision Making, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, Literature Review ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin Güncel Uygulama Alanları: Bir Alanyazın Taraması ÖZGünümüzde çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) teknikleri, karar problemlerinin çözümünde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ÇKKV tekniklerinin üstünlük tabanlı sınıfında yer alan ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) ve PROMETHEE'nin (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) güncel kullanım alanları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda 2016 yılı ve 2017 yılı ilk dört ayında gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar Google Scholar yardımıyla taranmıştır. Böylelikle ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin gelişimindeki son durumun ortaya konulması ve gelecekteki uygulama biçim ve alanları hakkında fikir verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tarama neticesinde, ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin uygulama alanlarının çok çeşitli olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmalarda, araştırma probleminin çözümüne yönelik ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin tasarımında değişiklikler yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca senaryo farklılaşmalarına göre değerlendirme yapılması, metasezgiseller ile karmaşık karar problemlerinin çözülmesi, kararsız bulanık uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması, grup kararı tercihinin artması, hibrit tekniklerin uygulama sayısının fazlalaşması, kullanılan yazılımlar, büyük verilerle çözümleme yapılması, duyarlılık analizleri, bulanıklaştırmada iki dilsel yaklaşımının önemli yer edinmesi dikkat çekici sonuçlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.

One of the major challenges faced by water companies around the world is the high level of water losses in distribution networks. This research paper presents a case study on the choice of the best technical solution for the rehabilitation of the water distribution network pipelines of Cluj-Napoca City, Romania. The analytical network process (ANP) method was used as the selection method, and calculations were performed using the Super Decisions 2.6.0 software. In the case study, five alternatives were analyzed based on seven criteria. The criteria taken into account in the decision-making included pipe diameter, pipe length, specific accomplishment duration, lifespan, pressure losses, price, and installation conditions, while the following methods were considered as rehabilitation alternatives: Compact Pipe, Slipline, Subline, Swagelining, and Pilot Pipe. Based on the highest global priority, we recommend choosing the Subline alternative as the method of rehabilitating water distribution pipes from asbestos cement pipes in the case of Cluj-Napoca City, Romania.
