Abstract

Freight transportation counts for remarkable negative effects like emissions, noise, and congestion. This urges for a modal shift toward structuring a more efficient systematic network, facilitating full use of potentials among the transportation modes. Decision-makers face uncertainty and restricted information processing skills when assessing the alternatives for sustainable freight transportation. In this study, a novel extension of the Ordinal Priority Approach under picture fuzzy sets (OPA-P) is proposed to rank the alternatives. In the OPA-P algorithm, experts’ preferences are used to determine the weighting coefficients of criteria and rank the alternatives. A case study is employed to demonstrate the formulation and solution of the problem. The outcome of this study suggests the top-ranked and most important solution for the sustainable transport planning. In addition, to verify the stability of the proposed model, a validation analysis is carried out.
