Research on the urban green transportation development level evaluation based on the triangular pythagorean fuzzy multiple attribute decision making

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization and the significant improvement of people’s living standards, the motorization of urban transportation in China has developed rapidly, and the number of urban motor vehicles has sharply increased. This has also caused a series of problems such as increasingly severe urban road traffic congestion, increased traffic energy consumption, and atmospheric environmental pollution. Unprecedented social and environmental pressures have put forward higher requirements for the development model of urban transportation. Against the backdrop of increasingly severe conflicts between urban transportation and resource environment in China, green transportation with the goal of “meeting maximum demand with minimum consumption” has gradually received widespread attention from the academic community. The urban green transportation development level evaluation is a classical multiple attribute decision making (MADM). In this paper, we define the triangular Pythagorean fuzzy sets (TPFSs) and investigate the MADM problems under TPFSs. Based on the traditional geometric BM (GBM) operator and generalized weighted GBM (GWGBM) operator, some triangular Pythagorean fuzzy operators are proposed: triangular Pythagorean fuzzy generalized GBM (TPFGGBM) operator and triangular Pythagorean fuzzy generalized WGBM (TPFGWGBM) operator. Accordingly, we have took advantage of these operators to develop some approaches to work out the triangular Pythagorean fuzzy MADM. Ultimately, a practical example for urban green transportation development level evaluation is took advantage of to validate the developed approach, and an influence analysis of the parameter on the final results is been presented to attest its availability and validity.
