Abstract
Mode choice methods model the traveler’s choice among a set of alternative mode of travels. This study proposed the Fuzzy extension of the Analytic Network Process (FANP) to model the travel mode choice. Fuzzy set theory could be incorporated in the Analytic Network Process (ANP), which is a widely acceptable decision making tool in order to capture vagueness of the human decision. Triangular fuzzy numbers and their degree of fuzziness are used to express human judgment that is articulated in natural language. The method presented in this paper utilized the alpha cut and optimism index to transform the fuzzy comparative judgment matrix into sets of crisp matrices. The proposed method can be an alternative to conventional mode choice modeling techniques that are used to model travel mode choice problems.
