Abstract

Road construction problems are one of the important factors in countries. The effects of multiple parameters on the decision making process to determine the optimal route have made this choice a specialised issue for decision-makers. In this regard, this paper aims to select the optimal route for Isfahan-Shiraz freeway using MADM approaches. For this purpose, in order to weight and select the optimal route, the extended dynamic fuzzy GRA method is used. The results show that road longevity, views of the NGOs, route integrity and ease of tracking are identified as the highest-weighted criteria in the prioritisation of the route variant. To evaluate the validity of the results of the GRA method, the problem is examined by using the, COPRAS-IVIF, ARAS-IVTF, WASPAS-IVIF, TOPSIS-IVIF and MULTIMOORA-IVIF methods. In addition, route 3 that takes priority over others is also chosen, in practice, as the main basis for the work.
