Integrated Neutrosophic Set for Assessing the Route Options in Overweight Complex Transportation Planning Scenarios

Due to improvements in lifting and transportation technology that enable the long-distance movement of heavy loads, overweight and oversized transport (O&OT) has emerged as one of the most important aspects of project logistics. This kind of transportation operation, also known as abnormal transportation, is heavily influenced by external variables like weather, traffic density, and legal regulations, as well as technical factors like the load’s weight and geometry, road surface, axle load limitations, slope, and ground strength. Decision-Makers (DMs) and practitioners who plan and carry out operations without giving these variables and factors enough thought may cause operational delays, significant hazards, and a loss of productivity. This study proposes a decision-making methodology to compute the criteria weights using the average method and ranking the alternatives using the CoCoSo method. Single valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) is used to solve the uncertainty and vague information in the decision-making process.
