A Study of Rural Logistics Center Location Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS

Abstract EN

In recent years, with the development of the rural e-commerce, the importance of rural logistics has been widely recognized.

The selection of rural logistics center is a crucial part in products circulation, because an unreasonable location of rural logistics can cause a circulation problem and product waste.

In this paper, we propose a rural logistics center location model based on the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS.

First, we integrate the information according to experts’ score based on the evaluation index system.

Second, we use the entropy weight method to determine the weight of each evaluation index.

Third, we rank the results by using the intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method.

Finally, an illustrative example will be used to prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.
