Enhancing Multi-Criteria Decision-Making with Fuzzy Logic: An Advanced Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked II Method Incorporating Triangular Fuzzy Numbers
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Management Decision - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), accurately quantifying qualitative data and simulating real-world scenarios remains a significant challenge, particularly in the presence of inherent imprecision and incompleteness of information. Fuzzy logic, recognized for its capacity to model uncertainty and ambiguity, emerges as a pivotal theory in decision-making processes. This study introduces an enhancement to the Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked Criteria II (DIBR II) method, employing triangular fuzzy numbers with variable confidence intervals for the determination of criteria weight coefficients-essential for assessing their significance and impact on final decisions. The enhanced method, hereafter referred to as the Fuzzy-DIBR II (F-DIBR II), is elaborated upon through a comprehensive description of its algorithmic steps, underscored by a numerical example that highlights its potential. Validation of F-DIBR II is undertaken via a comparative analysis against the traditional DIBR II approach, placing particular emphasis on its application within the Fuzzy Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) framework, geared towards evaluating sustainable mobility measures. This focal point not only reaffirms the necessity of integrating fuzzy logic into the DIBR II methodology but also validates its practical applicability in addressing real-world issues. Contributions of this research extend beyond the theoretical enhancements of fuzzy theory within the MCDM landscape, offering tangible implications for the application of F-DIBR II in sustainable mobility analyses. The consistency in professional terminology throughout the study ensures clarity and coherence, aligning with the stringent standards of top-tier academic journals.
