We propose an adaptive handover prediction (AHP) scheme for seamless mobility based wireless networks. That is, the AHP scheme incorporates fuzzy logic with AP prediction process in order to lend cognitive capability to handover decision making. Selection metrics, including received signal strength, mobile node relative direction towards the access points in the vicinity, and access point load,...

A multimodal multi-criteria route planning (MMRP) system provides an optimal multimodal route from an origin point to a destination point considering two or more criteria in a way this route can be a combination of public and private transportation modes. In this paper, the simulate annealing (SA) and the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) were combined in order to find this route. ...

This study presents an additive scale model for the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that suits the decision problem using a linear preference comparison. This study discusses issues related to mathematical denotation, axiom, transitivity and numerical analysis for the additive scale model of AHP. The least squares method and correlation analysis are used to obtain the relative criteria weights...

Energy has been universally recognized as a key element for sustainable development. In developing countries, such as Turkey, energy demand increases thanks to a fast growing population and economy, posing threats of energy availability in the next decades. For this reason, Turkey has to evaluate and develop domestic, clean, and reliable energy sources from different alternative sources for sus...

In an era of global customization, dominating the majority market with a single product has become increasingly difficult and almost impossible for most companies. In contrast, they must provide various product varieties that attract diverse customers, particularly when acquiring distinct market segments. In practice, however, most companies cannot effectively reduce the gap between customer re...

The COVID-19 pandemic broke out and the global logistics industry suffered severe losses; therefore, Fuzzy FMEA-AHP (Fuzzy Failure Mode Effects Analysis-Analytic Hierarchy Process) method is proposed to analyze failure reasons of system in pandemic. In this article, we have made an optimization on basis FMEA method: fuzzy integrated into algorithm, referred as F-RPWN (fuzzy risk priority-weight...

A successful organisation recognises that when an effective strategy is properly implemented, it will result in a sustainable competitive advantage. But when you examine the formulation of an organisational strategy, you quickly realise that strategy is really about choice. In this context project risk management based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach is a systematic process of id...

The selection of appropriate wells for hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important decisions faced by oilfield engineers. It has significant implications for the future development of an oilfield in terms of its productivity and economics. In this study, we developed a fuzzy model for well selection that combines the major objective criteria with the subjective judgments of decision maker...
