A practical decision-making framework for highway transportation scheme selection based on the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic information

Abstract

In recent years, due to the further development of the market economy, the internal competition in the large-cargo transportation industry has become increasingly fierce, and the profit space has been greatly compressed. Therefore, large-cargo logistics enterprises are paying more and more attention to the research of highway transportation route plan. The highway transportation scheme selection is looked as the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). In this paper, the triangular fuzzy neutrosophic numbers (TFNN) grey relational analysis (TFNN-GRA) method is established based on the classical grey relational analysis (GRA) and triangular fuzzy neutrosophic sets (TFNSs) with completely unknown weight information. In order to obtain the weight values, the information Entropy is established to obtain the weight values based on the score and accuracy functions under TFNSs. Then, combining the traditional fuzzy GRA model with TFNSs information, the TFNN-GRA method is set up and the computing steps for MADM are established. Finally, a numerical example for highway transportation scheme selection was established and some comparisons are established to study the advantages of TFNN-GRA. The main contributions of this paper are established as follows: (1) the information Entropy is established to obtain the weight values based on the score and accuracy functions under TFNSs; (2) the TFNN-GRA method is established with completely unknown weight information. (2) the TFNN-GRA method is established and the computing steps for MADM are established. (3) Finally, a numerical example for highway transportation scheme selection was established and some comparisons is employed to study advantages of TFNN-GRA method.
