Multi-criteria decision-making on road transport vehicles by the AHP method

Decision-making processes require the selection of appropriate and choose the optimal solution for implementation. This means that different criteria and their sub-criteria evaluate various alternatives of possible solutions to determine the optimal solution. The research focuses on an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and its implementation to evaluate road transport vehicles. The AHP is one of the most used methods for evaluating projects in transport and traffic area. This paper presents a comprehensive review of studies on road transport vehicles evaluated by the AHP method. To gather research articles for the study, several databases such as Web of Science and Scopus were searched. The focus of the research is on road transport vehicles but the performance of the AHP method in the road sector, in general, is briefly reviewed. The results show that most of the studies use AHP for the evaluation of electric and autonomous vehicles. Finally, research results are discussed and recommendations for future research are proposed.
