The transportation of non-standard cargoes and related logistics operations are considered as a niche area that requires expertise. Logistics must be carried out carefully in order to deliver the cargo on time undamaged conditions. Although significant amount literature has been published service provider selection, there is no study field project logistics. For this reason, it necessary invest...

In this paper it is described the use of Fuzzy Deformable Prototypes for representing clusters of documents. We use fuzzy logic technologies and a KDD based process for automatic classification of large repositories of documents in a fuzzy and hierarchical organization. The aim is to make an optimum exploitation of the concepts contained in the documents using an updateable and understandable s...

Aiming at the risk assessment requirements of typical industrial control systems with integrated architecture security and safety, we propose an objective quantitative safety scheme based on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). First, establish a (SSI) for measures into failure modes. On this basis, hierarchical model SSI mode as element evaluation layer, then standardize characteristic val...

This systematic review examines the marine risk assessment (MRA) by identifying most viable method in assessing risks using latest technology. paper centers on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) where techniques and advantages of FAHP facilitating important decisions were analyzed. A literature was conducted to highlight significance potentials providing a comprehensive analysis which serv...

The paper proposes a new approach for tackling the uncertainty and imprecision of the reasoning process while using decision support tools during prenegotiations. The pre-negotiation problem is regarded as decision making under uncertainty, based on multiple criteria of quantitative and qualitative nature, where the imprecise decision-maker’s judgments are represented as fuzzy numbers. A new fu...

A new Group Fuzzy Preference Programming (GFPP) method for fuzzy prioritisation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed. The assessment of the priorities from fuzzy pairwise comparison judgements is formulated as an optimisation problem, maximising the group’s overall satisfaction with the group solution. Unlike the existing fuzzy prioritisation methods, the GFPP method derives crisp prio...

In pavement management, prioritized resource allocation is imperative given the fact that there is rarely enough funding with highway agencies to address all the pavement sections. In view of the complexity involved in the decision making process, subjective evaluation based on expert’s judgments is unavoidable. Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) has been applied by researchers to solve pavement ...

The aim of this study is to provide an analytical tool to select the best software providing the most customer satisfaction. The three type of softwares were examined and the most important criterias were taken into account by the customers while they were selecting their softwares. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was used to compare this softwares. The means of the triangular fuzzy number...

The river ranking problem is a strategic issue and has significant impact on the efficiency of a river system. On the other hand, the river ranking among many alternatives presents a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Hence fuzzy set theory can be applied. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process (FAHP) technique is used to rank alternatives to find the efficient use of the river system. Fu...
