Towards objective multi-criteria drone evaluation based on VIKOR and COMET methods

摘要

With the recent rising number of personal drones, the market is growing with more and more new drones. The actual number of alternatives is unsuspectedly huge. Nevertheless, each year their characteristics are only improving, which only complicate the selection. The manual optimal choice is a significant challenge, likely even impossible. Still, the most efficient way to estimate the ranking of the alternatives is a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA).In this paper, we use MCDA methods towards objective multi-criteria drone evaluation. Our work is based on VIKOR and COMET method which have presented their efficiency in many works with multi-criteria problems. For optimal selection on twelve alternatives of drones, nine criteria were used and two MCDA methods with the same weights. Finally, the result is presented and discussed in the end.
