The result of the comprehensive evaluation of one logistics park site selection scheme shows this method is scientific, effective and feasible. INTRODUCTION It’s essential to consider many factors such as technology, economy, environment and society ones to traffic infrastructure planning. Nowadays sustainable development is becoming the common understanding all over the world, so it’s more and more important to evaluate the programming projects of traffic infrastructure subjectively and correctly so that reliable decision-making consultation can be given to government and investors.
Generally we make 5 ( Sm ) ik 1 ( Sm ) ”. ik t 5 is the single-factor evaluating it normalized so that it meets” matrix of these t indicators for the development condition of the eco-port group k 1 Sm . ; the other is on the contrary, it includes C31,C32,C41,C44 etc. In order to be consistent with the qualitative indicator, we divide the qualitative indicators into five levels, that is: worse ( v1 ), lower ( v2 ), and medium ( v3 ), upper ( v4 ), good ( v5 ). The confirmation of the membership function is as follows (because the reverse indicator is similar with the positive indicator, so we just analysis the positive indicator): According to practical experience, we take the lower limit value upper limit value r1(i ) and the r5(i ) of C as the boundary.
The result shows this method is effective to eliminate the subjectivity in weight assignment and so it is more simple, scientific and feasible. , Szczuka, M. ”Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 82(4), 20-29.
