Abstract
In this paper, we present the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model based on the traditional fuzzy CODAS (combinative distance-based assessment) model and some fundamental theories of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic information. Firstly, we briefly review the definition of 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) and introduce the score function, the accuracy function, operation laws and some aggregation operators of 2TLNNs. Then, the calculation steps of traditional fuzzy CODAS model are briefly presented. Furthermore, by combining the traditional fuzzy CODAS model with 2TLNNs information, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic CODAS model is established and the computing steps for multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) are simply depicted. Our presented model is more accurate and effective for considering the combinative form of two distance measurements, including fuzzy weighted Hamming distance (HD) and fuzzy weighted Euclidean distance (ED). Finally, a numerical example for safety assessment of construction project has been given to illustrate this new model and some comparisons between 2TLNNs CODAS model and two 2TLNNs aggregation operators are also made to further illustrate the advantages of the new method.
