Sustainable urban mobility systems with CRITIC-CIMAS-WASPAS approach using intuitionistic fuzzy credibility numbers


Abstract

This paper presents a novel concept of algebraic structures for intuitionistic fuzzy credibility numbers (IFCNs) to effectively handle uncertainty in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. It extends the IFCS concept to intuitionistic fuzzy credibility ideals (IFCIs) in BCK-algebras. Operational laws for IFCSs, such as inclusion, sum, and product, are developed to address uncertain information in the MCDM process. A robust hybrid MCDM framework, termed CRITIC-CIMAS-WASPAS, is proposed. The criterion importance assessment (CIMAS) method calculates objective weights by summing performance ratios across criteria. The CRITIC method adjusts subjective criterion weights based on the correlation and variability of criteria. The weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) method is extended to CIFCSs to classify and rank the alternatives more accurately and efficiently. The proposed framework is applied to optimize urban mobility systems, encompassing ride-sharing, autonomous vehicles, scheduling, and fare collection. Various validation tests demonstrate the reliability of this hybrid approach in determining optimal and reasonable decisions that are acceptable to experts and stakeholders.

Notes for potential reviewers

  • Volunteering is not a guarantee that you will be asked to review. There are many reasons: reviewers must be qualified, there should be no conflicts of interest, a minimum of two reviewers have already accepted an invitation, etc.
  • This is NOT OPEN peer review. The review is single-blind, and all recommendations are sent privately to the Academic Editor handling the manuscript. All reviews are published and reviewers can choose to sign their reviews.
  • What happens after volunteering? It may be a few days before you receive an invitation to review with further instructions. You will need to accept the invitation to then become an official referee for the manuscript. If you do not receive an invitation it is for one of many possible reasons as noted above.

  • PeerJ Computer Science does not judge submissions based on subjective measures such as novelty, impact or degree of advance. Effectively, reviewers are asked to comment on whether or not the submission is scientifically and technically sound and therefore deserves to join the scientific literature. Our Peer Review criteria can be found on the "Editorial Criteria" page - reviewers are specifically asked to comment on 3 broad areas: "Basic Reporting", "Experimental Design" and "Validity of the Findings".
  • Reviewers are expected to comment in a timely, professional, and constructive manner.
  • Until the article is published, reviewers must regard all information relating to the submission as strictly confidential.
  • When submitting a review, reviewers are given the option to "sign" their review (i.e. to associate their name with their comments). Otherwise, all review comments remain anonymous.
  • All reviews of published articles are published. This includes manuscript files, peer review comments, author rebuttals and revised materials.
  • Each time a decision is made by the Academic Editor, each reviewer will receive a copy of the Decision Letter (which will include the comments of all reviewers).
