FUCOM-MARCOS Model for Selection of Parking Places for Vehicles of Dangerous Goods: Example of Selected Road Section
One important activity that is insufficiently researched in the field of supply chain for dangerous goods concerns the locations where vehicles carrying dangerous goods are parked. In the territory of Serbia, where the research was conducted, there are no prescribed locations of this type. This paper presents an example of selecting suitable parking locations for vehicles carrying dangerous goods along a road section of the highway network in the Republic of Serbia. For that purpose, the integrated MCDM model, consisting of the FUCOM and MARCOS methods, has been applied. FUCOM is used to determine the weighting coefficients, while the MARCOS method is used to rank locations. The results represent the selection of the most suitable locations in relation to the length of the observed section and the direction. Verification of the proposed model was performed through sensitivity and comparative analyses, and the calculation of correlation coefficients.
