This paper presents a novel integrated multi-criteria decision-making model consists of the CRITIC (CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) technique and the EDAS (The Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution) method to evaluate the selection of the urban rail vehicles operated in the public transport systems. In order to determine the selection criteria in a more realistic perspective, a board of experts consists of seven members, who perform as senior executives in the public transport institutions of the country, was constructed and many round tables meetings were organized with together the members of the board for determining the procedure to follow to reach meaningful and applicable results. At the beginning of the research, approximately fifty selection criteria were determined by the research team and some of them were eliminated during the preparation process of this study. Finally, 22 factors were determined as the selection criteria, which will be used in this research. These factors are the selection criteria directly or indirectly affecting the selection process and results. Also, rail tram types currently operated in the various cities of Turkey were determined as decision alternatives. These options were evaluated by using the proposed integrated MCDM approach. When the obtained results are evaluated, it can be seen that the proposed model has the potential to give very successful results for evaluating the selection process of the urban rail systems. Moreover, it can be implemented as a decision support system by decision-makers, who perform in the public transport authorities. Finally, it can also be applied for decision-making problems faced in the various fields.
本文提出了一种新颖的综合多准则决策模型，该模型由 CRITIC（通过准则间相关性的准则重要性）技术和 EDAS（基于与平均解的距离的评价）方法组成，用于评估公共交通系统中运营的城市轨道车辆的选择。为了从更现实的角度确定选择标准，构建了一个由七名成员组成的专家委员会，他们是该国公共交通机构的高级管理人员，并与委员会成员一起组织了多次圆桌会议，以确定遵循的程序，以取得有意义和适用的结果。在研究开始时，研究团队确定了大约五十个选择标准，在本研究的准备过程中，其中一些标准被淘汰。最后，确定了 22 个因素作为选择标准，将在本研究中使用。这些因素是直接或间接影响选择过程和结果的选择标准。此外，还确定了土耳其各城市目前运营的有轨电车类型作为决策备选方案。这些选项是通过提出的综合 MCDM 方法进行评估的。当评估所得结果时，可以看出，所提出的模型具有为城市轨道系统的选择过程提供非常成功结果的潜力。此外，它可以作为决策者在公共交通管理部门执行的决策支持系统来实施。最后，它也可以应用于各种领域面临的决策问题。
