A fuzzy assessment framework to select among transportation investment projects in Turkey
Selecting the best transportation investment project (TIP) is often a difficult task, since many social, environmental and economic criteria have to be considered simultaneously. Evaluating a set of different projects, especially the best set of alternatives, portfolios, is even more complex. Pursuing the goal of selecting the best TIP portfolio, we propose a fuzzy assessment method to aid the selection process of a multi-criterion project by utilizing the concept of entropy and interval normalization procedure in a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP). Then, regarding this informative phase, we propose a fuzzy linear programming model to select the best TIP portfolio under uncertain cost pressure. A real case study is conducted to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
