WITHDRAWN: Application of a fuzzy multi-objective defuzzification method to solve a transportation problem

The base of traffic management is the reliable and real-time traffic flow predictions. A fuzzy multi-objective defuzzification method has been suggested for improving the capability of traffic flow prediction. On the basis of such method solving a transportation problem to predict the traffic flow. In the case when indicated values are not satisfying the relations, each one of the values has been adjusted till satisfying the relation. The presented paper is providing a novel approach to defuzzify fuzzy numbers using a modification of center of gravity COG method with multi-objective linear programming (LP) model. This method presented the observed values as triangular fuzzy numbers and the crisp values are found in the interval of each fuzzy number. The objective is to find the appropriate crisp value that satisfies all relationships and minimise the distance among this value and all values in the interval of fuzzy numbers by partitioning each interval into sub-intervals. The application related to the suggested approach is showed in solving transportation problem, as well as compare with one of the previous methods is also presented. The resulted crisp value appears as the best solution or optimal solution to the problem.
