Abstract

Depending on today's emerging technology, manufacturers produce various automobile models. It is a complicated situation to select the best automobile from various brands and models. It is difficult to select an automobile by using many criteria. Using multi-criteria decision making methods in the solution of many problems such as the automobile selection which has many criteria eliminates the complexity and contributes to the solution of the problem. Fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to obtain the best result in a decision problem. In this study, fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to solve the best automobile selection problem of a person who plans to buy an automobile from three alternative automobiles in the same segment. The criteria of the best automobile selection problem are determined by searching the literature and by considering the opinions of the person who plans to buy the automobile. The alternative automobiles are evaluated by three experts, and the best automobile is selected by using the fuzzy TOPSIS method.
