In order to achieve the overall optimum, it is necessary to perform adequate evaluation and selection of the optimal location for the construction of a LC. In this paper is performed the evaluation of potential locations based on new approach in the field of logistics. Weight coefficients of criteria are determined using objective model integrated in Single-Valued Neutrosophic (SVNN) Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) model. In order to determine the stability of the model, the SVNN MABAC model is compared with other representative multi-criteria models. In the final part of the model validation, statistical correlation between the SVNN MABAC model and other proposed approaches (SVNN WASPAS, SVNN VIKOR, SVNN TOPSIS and SVNN CODAS) is performed.","PeriodicalId":36055,"journal":{"name":"Operational Research in Engineering Sciences: Theory and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45218787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tourism potential is the ability of a particular location to attract and host tourists. Tourism development should be based on strengthening sustainability, and thus tourism will provide good effects. Since rural settlements have experienced recession in the past few decades, these areas need to be revitalized. This can be achieved through development of rural tourism. Sustainability of rural tourism potential in Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina is in focus of this study. Based on sustainability criteria, we assessed the rural potential in Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina for certain rural settlements. Assessment of the sustainability of rural tourism potential in Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina was carried out with expert evaluation and used methods of FUCOM, ARAS and CRITIC, and a decision model will be created for this purpose. The findings from this study will provide guidelines for improvement of rural tourism in Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina through examination of good and bad sides of the examined rural settlements. The model with certain corrections can also be used in determining sustainable tourism potential in other branches of tourism.","PeriodicalId":36055,"journal":{"name":"Operational Research in Engineering Sciences: Theory and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49472707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the conditions determined by a lack of time, the staff in charge of situations of emergency have to make a decision on informing the population about the incoming danger. In the paper, a hybrid model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-criteria compromise ranking (VIKOR) is presented, as applied through the selection of the best medium for informing the population in situations of emergency.

The explosion of a tank cannot occur spontaneously, but only results from external factors.

The special customers access the REQS with complementary probability (1-p)»0. The special customer service is analogous to a rare event. The standard methodology has developed analytical patterns for the stationary of REQS with one service channel and an infinite number of positions in the queue. The analysis of the work of REQS indicates that it is for favorable metering parameters r=l/m>2, queueing system is resistant to collapse when a occurrence occurs. However, the regular time losses of the regular customers in the REQS are extremely high. For this reason, it is the first time that the period of stabilization of the system is promoted which represents the time interval service the completion of the special customers until the REQS. The analytical apparatus of the queueing system has shown excellent adaptability to the heterogeneous demands of services m and special customers with low service intensity x, where m>x.

This problem lies in considering the set of constraints. The main constraint is the requirement of railcars ‘owners on their loading by certain freights and sending to certain customers. This problem is complicated with the complexity of the traffic volumes structure that making them uneven. Hence, it creates an uneven loading factor of railway stations in the node. Moreover, railway stations are required to comply with the schedule of loading and unloading of railcars, as well as the schedule of trains and features of their formation in the rail nodes at large industrial enterprises. In order to optimally manage empty railcars at rail nodes, both the mathematical model and its solving method are presented. One of the distinctive features of the developed model lies in the application of a fuzzy logic method to evaluate online the loading factor of railway stations in the rail node. Moreover, this model takes into account these evaluations by optimizing the distribution of empty railcars at the loading points. The present study puts forward the method and algorithm of the developed mathematical model for empty railcars management. They could additionally take into account the possibility to include empty railcars groups in the composition of trains moving on schedule within large railway nodes or in systems of railway transport at large industrial enterprises. The proposed model significantly reduces the complexity of operational planning of dispatchers for distributing the empty railcar traffic volumes. Furthermore, the developed model minimizes the total handling time of railcars in rail nodes and ensures the timely supply of empty railcars to the loading points.","PeriodicalId":36055,"journal":{"name":"Operational Research in Engineering Sciences: Theory and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45842640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
