Abstract

This objective of research is to find a solution to the shortest path problem with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers when travel expenses are uncertain or ambiguous. The researcher proposed a solution to the shortest path problem under trapezoidal fuzzy numbers by using the Robust's ranking technique to find representative values of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.  After that, the shortest path was founded using the Dijkstra algorithm. The results of the study showed that this method can find the right answer in an ambiguous environment.
