Evaluation of Vehicle Combination Property Based on Evidential Reasoning Method

Abstract

Evaluation of vehicle combination property involves multiple attributes of both a quantitative and qualitative nature with uncertainty, and there is incomplete information in the assessment process .Evidential reasoning(ER) method is introduced to transform quantitative and qualitative information to uniform distribution .With the ER ,the general values of assessment can be obtained through aggregating the lower attributes, then decision is made using utility theory. The example demonstrates the effectiveness of the ER method.
