- The membership value of is changed to a non-membership value , and the non-membership value is changed to , if the condition falls into the cost category.
- if the criteria are inside the benefit category. If every criterion taken into account for the problem is a benefit criterion, then this step can be omitted.

- Transformation of decision matrix: This is carried out by the use of operators s. That is,
- (b)
- Aggregated performance of alternatives regarding all the criteria: This is derived by using the operator on every row of the combined matrix of decisions that was produced in Step 3(a).
5.1. Problem Description
- Need for Pink Cabs
- Safety: Defend women against abuse and harassment.
- Cultural Appropriateness: Provide secure transportation in cultures that are sensitive to gender.
- Emotional Comfort: Increase female passengers’ peace of mind.
- Technological Security: Utilize GPS, apps, and panic buttons to improve mobility.
5.2. Solving the Proposed Trapezoidal-Valued Fermetean Fuzzy MAGDM
5.3. Comparative Analysis
5.4. Advantages of the Suggested MAGDM Strategy
- First, the comprehensive ordering concept on TpVFFNs—which encompasses TFFNs, FFNs, and IVFFNs under a broad heading—is used in our suggested MAGDM strategy. Consequently, the following issues might be resolved using the suggested strategy in the subclass context: real-valued FFNs, IVFFNs, and TFFNs.
- The MAGDM algorithm integrates the full-ordering principle; therefore, our proposed method may always rank the two unique TpVFFNs. In other words, two different options will never be ranked by the suggested MAGDM technique (different performances according to independent criteria) as equal.
- Thirdly, by altering the Dombi variable, - and -oriented aggregating operators have the benefit of making the aggregating process simpler. Flexibility may be achieved by altering the Dombi operator’s variable. Its adjustable parameters make it more adaptable than other t-norms and t-conorms currently in use. By altering the variable’s Dombi accumulation operator value, we may vary the norm that is applied to accumulation, which also alters the operational behavior of the parameter.
