EVALUATION OF THE SELECTION OF BUSES USED IN INTERCITY TRANSPORTATION WITH THE EDAS TECHNIQUE BASED ON AHP AND THE CRITIC TECHNIQUES

Abstract

This study suggests a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model for evaluating the
intercity bus selections. the proposed model consists of three phases. While in the first phase, the preparation
process is carried out, in the second phase, the weights of the criteria are calculated and preference ratings
of the alternatives are determined in the third phase. To identify the criteria weights the Analitik Hierarchy
Process (AHP) and the CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) have been
implemented. Next, EDAS (The Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution) technique has been
applied to determine the preference ratings of the decision alternatives. According to results of the analysis,
the most determinative criteria are asthetic and compfort. Also, it has been observed that P14 Brand-TE
Safari 13 HD is the best alternative.

ŞEHİRLERARASI TAŞIMACILIKTA KULLANILAN OTOBÜSLERE İLİŞKİN SEÇİMLERİN AHP VE CRITIC TABANLI EDAS YÖNTEMİ İLE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, şehirlerarası otobüs seçimlerini değerlendirmek için hibrit bir çok kriterli karar
verme (MCDM) modeli önermektedir. Önerilen model üç aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Birinci aşamada
hazırlık süreci yürütülürken, ikinci aşamada kriterlerin ağırlıkları hesaplanmakta ve üçüncü aşamada
alternatiflerin tercih dereceleri belirlenmektedir. Kriter ağırlıklarını belirlemek için Analitik Hiyerarşi
Süreci (AHP) ve CRITIC (Kriterler Arası Korelasyon Yoluyla Kriter Önemi) uygulanmıştır. Daha sonra,
karar alternatiflerinin tercih derecelerini belirlemek için EDAS (Ortalama Çözümden Uzaklığa Dayalı
Değerlendirme) tekniği uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre en belirleyici kriterler estetik ve konfordur.
Ayrıca P14 Brand-TE Safari 13 HD’nin en iyi alternatif olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
