Determining Regencial Road Handling Priority Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and TOPSIS Method (Case Study: Badung Regency - Bali)
Abstract: Determining road
handling priority is considered as a complicated multicriteria decision making
problem. In so doing, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been widely used
to weight the importance. Fuzziness and vagueness however, are typical in many
decision-making problems, so that fuzzy sets could be integrated with the
pairwise comparison as an extension of the AHP. This study uses Fuzzy Analytic
Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and TOPSIS method in determining regencial road
handling priority for road linksunder severe circumstances in Badung regency in
Bali province. Data are taken from a previous study, which had also been
conducted for Badung regencial road handling priority using the AHP and
SK.NO.77/KPTS/Db/1990 method. The weights of main and sub criteria are
determined using FAHP and subsequently the ranking of road links is determined using
TOPSIS method. The AHP method gave somewhat different result to ‘SK.NO.77/KPTS/Db/1990’
method. On the other hand, FAHP and TOPSIS method produce the same result to
‘SK.NO.77/KPTS/Db/1990’ method. This is probably best explained by the fact
that they similarly considered traffic volumes as the most significant factor.
FAHP and TOPSIS method however, are preferred to the AHP and
SK.NO.77/KPTS/Db/1990 method in determining regencial road handling priority in
Badung regency.
