Abstract
The objective of this study was to propose an approach for selecting a route in multimodal transportation networks using fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS). the selection of multimodal transportation route between Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City was employed to test the proposed approach. The scales for importance assessment and alternative rating with a triangular membership function can be collected from the eligible decision makers based on the Delphi method. Then, the fuzzy positive ideal solution and the negative ideal solution were calculated. Finally, the closeness coefficient (CC) was computed and used to select and rank the multimodal transportation route. The results demonstrated that the multimodal transportation route A5 was the best optimal multimodal transportation route. This route responds effectively to all decision criteria because it has the highest CC. Regarding, the other multimodal transportation routes were arranged in descending order, according to the CCs’ values. Moreover, the results also revealed that the proposed approach is suitable for solving multiple criteria decision-making in the real-world problems, especially for multimodal route selection.
