Model for multicriteria evaluation of transport network routes

Annotation Formulation of the problem. The article discusses the problem of searching and calculating criteria that take into account economic, social, weather, safety and other factors that influence the calculation and selection of alternatives in the transport network. Target. The purpose of the study is to consider modern research on multicriteria analysis and the problem of calculating and choosing a rational alternative among various routes based on the subjective opinion of the decision maker. The result can be obtained using modern methods of multi-criteria analysis including analysis of criteria based on expert opinions, calculation of the weight of criteria, search for alternatives and a final recommendation. The proposed model includes a subjective assessment of criteria by the decision maker and the calculation of alternatives using the graphical interface of a mobile application. Results. The result of the work done is the calculation of alternative routes laid from the point of departure to the point of arrival, their ranking according to the weight of criteria and the provision of recommendations on the most rational route. As an improvement to this model, other quantitative and qualitative criteria can be considered that can be analyzed mathematically contain more data about each alternative and take into account the opinions of more experts. Practical significance. The practical significance of the work lies in the introduction of a multi-criteria methodology for ranking alternative routes, taking into account both the congestion of the road graph and criteria related to the convenience and safety of movement. It is important to note the flexibility of the proposed model, which consists in an unlimited number of criteria taken into account and other areas of use. Changing the weight of criteria occurs by moving up and down relative to other criteria using the mobile application. The proposed methodology can be applied both to the transport network and to other network structures described by various criteria. The current research problem based on actual historical data used in forecasting models, the availability of current data on the number of participants in the transport network influencing each other and the overall congestion condition and ultimately influencing the calculation of alternatives and the proposed solution.
