Generalized Intuitionistic Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers in Transportation Problems: An Optimizational Method

Abstract

In this study, we propose an optimization method for transportation problems utilizing Generalized Intuitionistic Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers (GITFNs). This method effectively handles uncertainty and imprecision in transportation systems, enabling more realistic and reliable decision-making. A GITFN-based transportation model is developed, incorporating fuzzy costs, capacities, and demands. An optimization algorithm is designed to minimize transportation costs while satisfying supply and demand constraints. The method is applied to a numerical example, demonstrating its efficiency in solving complex transportation problems. The results show significant improvements in transportation effectiveness and cost reduction.
