Abstract:Exploring the historical path of theories and placement models indicates the deployment in terms of effective criterions and useful approaches in various industries. The distribution of electricity is important because of different reasons and all the efforts are for the sake of decreasing casualties of this network and supplying customer needs. The following research tries to come up with a model for placement the electricity distributer posts and that only happens with the recognition of effective priorities. The following research has used measurement to collect data and samplings were executed with a nonaccidental and judgmental method. After asking 11 experts the research detected six criterions and 28 subsets. These criterions are as follows: Technical, Economical, Exploitation, Executive Surveillance and Biological. In the beginning there was a dual comparison between the factors and the effectiveness of these factors was determined by AHP approach. Then with the assessment of all the nominated factors and performing a matrix, some of the Fuzzy TOPSIS were used. In the end the following model was executed by EXCEL and a factor has been determined as the final solution.

“…The method, however, is limited to only single alarm location problems. Later, Nanthavanij and Yenradee proposed an analytical method for predicting an optimal number, location, and signal sound level of alarm devices [13]. The alarm location problem was formulated as a nonlinear programming problem and can be solved with appropriate optimization software tools.…”

“…Nevertheless, this method has three limitations: (a) an alarm device that can produce the signal sound level according to the recommendation might not be commercially available, (b) workers can only be present at the same locations as the machines, and (c) large alarm location problems might not be solvable since the alarm location problem is a combinatorial optimization problem. Lee and Kong [14] presented an extended study on the alarm location problem proposed by Nanthavanij and Yenradee [13]. They discussed the optimization approach for three workplace situations.…”

“…The conventional approaches to location selection include heuristics [30], integer programming [31], nonlinear programming [32], multi-objective goal programming [33], analog approach [34], Analytic Hierarchy Process [35], multi-attribute utility method [36], multiple regression analysis [37] and other. According to [29] these approaches can only provide a set of systematic steps for problem solving without considering the relationships between the decisions factors globally.…”

The Location Selection for Roundabout Construction Using Rough BWM-Rough WASPAS Approach Based on a New Rough Hamy Aggregator

et al. 2018

An adequately functionally located traffic infrastructure is an important factor in the mobility of people because it affects the quality of traffic, safety and efficiency of carrying out transportation activities. Locating a roundabout on an urban network is an imperative for road engineering to address traffic problems such as reduction of traffic congestion, enhancement of security and sustainability, etc. Therefore, this paper evaluates potential locations for roundabout construction using Rough BWM (Best Worst Method) and Rough WASPAS (Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment) models. Determination of relative criterion weights on the basis of which the potential locations were evaluated was carried out using the Rough BWM method. In this paper, in order to enable the most precise consensus for group decision-making, a Rough Hamy aggregator has been developed. The main advantage of the Hamy mean (HM) operator is that it can capture the interrelationships among multi-input arguments and can provide DMs more options. Until now, there is no research based on HM operator for aggregating imprecise and uncertain information. The obtained indicators are described through eight alternatives. The results show that the fifth and sixth alternatives are the locations that should have a priority in the construction of roundabouts from the perspective of sustainable development, which is confirmed throughout changes of parameter k and with comparing to other methods in the sensitivity analysis.
