An Improved Method for Solving Multi-Attribute Problem in Transportation Mode Decision Making Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In logistics activities, the choice of the transportation mode involves time, price, safety, and many other factors, it is a typical multi-attribute decision making problem. Traditionally, we usually adopt a certain decision-making method to solve such problems, but the resulting solution is often difficult to achieve our desired results. This article tries to combine AHP, information entropy method and the TOPSIS method to solve the multiple-attribute decision making problems in the process of transportation activity, and finally a case is given.
