Evaluation of Airport Site Selection Based on the Multilayer Fuzzy Reasoning Model

Abstract

An airport site selection is a comprehensive and multi-objective decision-making issue. Scientific and rational airport site selection is of great significance to the regional social and economic development and the construction of a comprehensive transportation system. Based on the established evaluation index system of the airport site selection, the paper proposes a fuzzy reasoning procedure of the evaluation. In addition, a case study was made by employing the FIS toolkit in MATLAB. By making an objective and accurate evaluation of the model with both qualitative and quantitative analysis, the feasibility of the model and algorithm was verified. An airport, as a crucial infrastructure, plays a fundamental and leading role in the national economy, the rational planning of which can improve the regional comprehensive transportation system and facilitate regional, social, and economic development. As a pre-construction stage, airport site selection plays a crucial part in the planning of airport construction. Scientific and rational airport site selection can save construction costs and contribute to the function of airports. It is of profound significance to the regional, social, and economic development and the construction of a comprehensive transportation system.
