Abstract

With the frequent occurrences of emergency events, emergency decision making (EDM) plays an increasingly significant role in coping with such situations and has become an important and challenging research area in recent times. It is essential for decision makers to make reliable and reasonable emergency decisions within a short span of time, since inappropriate decisions may result in enormous economic losses and social disorder. To handle emergency effectively and quickly, this paper proposes a new EDM method based on the novel concept of q-rung orthopair fuzzy rough (q-ROPR) set. A novel list of q-ROFR aggregation information, detailed description of the fundamental characteristics of the developed aggregation operators and the q-ROFR entropy measure that determine the unknown weight information of decision makers as well as the criteria weights are specified. Further an algorithm is given to tackle the uncertain scenario in emergency to give reliable and reasonable emergency decisions. By using proposed list of q-ROFR aggregation information all emergency alternatives are ranked to get the optimal one. Besides this, the q-ROFR entropy measure method is used to determine criteria and experts’ weights objectively in the EDM process. Finally, through an illustrative example of COVID-19 analysis is compared with existing EDM methods. The results verify the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed methodology.
