Criterion approach in optimization of houseboat parameters as an aspect of investment choice

Abstract

Based on the qualitative approach, the main directions of investment choice in optimizing parameters for passenger and pleasure craft (including houseboats) are given. The methods of searching for source information for ships, infrastructure for them in various states (during design, construction and operation) are given. A brief assessment of the impact of various rules and regulatory documents on the ways of investing in small vessels is given. The article presents an original approach to solving a multi-criteria optimization problem, which consists in choosing a passenger ship (houseboat) project in combination with determining the preferences of the customer and other participants in the investment choice. The result of this study is a multi-criteria model of the decision-making situation under consideration. The formulation of the problem includes the interests of various stakeholders. The methodology is applied to real houseboat projects, includes an assessment by stakeholders of four key approaches to solving the problem and an algorithm capable of solving a complex joint selection task.
