A comparison of logistics infrastructure development level of European Union countries using TOPSIS and VIKOR methods

The purpose of the research was to compare the logistics and logistic infrastructure development level in EU countries. To evaluate overall rank of each country in term of that traits, it was used eight variables which describes logistic characteristics. In this purpose, two of the multi-criteria models of decision making: a Multicriteria Optimization (VIKOR) and Compromise Solution and a Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were applied and the results obtained by those two methods were compared. The results showed that VIKOR is more preferable method in comparison to TOPSIS methods and the countries where the logistic is developed the most according to the scores in created rankings are Germany, France and Poland.
