Özet:

 Only a few studies have so far addressed the applicability of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making MCDM methods in the optimization of geodetic control networks. For instance, the methods such as Višekriterijumsko Kompromisno RangiranjeRešenje VIKOR in english: Multi-Criteria Optimization and Compromise RankingSolution, Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP, Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations PROMETHEE, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution TOPSIS, Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison MABAC, Multi-Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis MAIRCA, Combined Compromise Solution COCOSO, Range of Value ROV can be mentioned. Among them, the VIKOR method, it can be said, proved to be the most suitable tool in the mention area of engineering geodesy as it allows treating alternative solutions identified in a specific task in a desired way by using different preferential approaches represented by sets of criterion weights. Thus, the VIKOR method is used as a reference herein, and methods whose applicability is tested are four novel methods that have been used in some other areas, different from geodesy. It is about Multiple Criteria Ranking by Alternative Trace MCRAT, Ranking the Alternatives by Perimeter Similarity RAPS, Ranking by Alternatives Median Similarity RAMS and Ranking by Alternatives Using the Trace to Median Index RATMI. The subject of this study is optimization of a 2D geodetic control network established to provide information regarding horizontal movements of a dam. The dam is located in Montenegro. The optimization is performed considering several pre-set constraints related to precision and reliability in the corresponding geodetic network. It turned out the four tested MCDM methods provided exactly the same results that were highly correlated with those obtained using the selected reference method. This fact led to the conclusion those four novel methods could be equally used in tasks similar to the one presented herein.
