Multiobjective Entropy Transportation Model with Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number Penalties, Sources, and Destinations
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 131, Issue 6
Abstract
In this paper, we have considered a multiobjective transportation problem with an additional entropy objective function. Here the cost coefficients of objective functions, the source, and destination parameters are trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Entropy objective function in transportation problem is used by Shannon’s measure of entropy and this multiobjective transportation problem has been solved by the fuzzy programming technique. A numerical example has been provided to illustrate the solution procedure of the original problem.
