Selection of Fuel by Using Analytical Hierarchy Process

Selection of fuel is a very important and critical decision one has to make. Various criteria are to be considered\ud while selecting a fuel. Some of important criteria are Fuel Economy, Availability of fuel, Pollution from vehicle,\ud Maintenance of the vehicle. Selection of best fuel is a complex situation. It needs a multi-criteria analysis.\ud Earlier, the solution to the problem were found by applying classical numerical methods which took into\ud account only technical and economic merits of the various alternatives. By applying multi-criteria tools, it is\ud possible to obtain more realistic results.\ud This paper gives a systematic analysis for selection of fuel by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP).\ud This is a multi-criteria decision making process. By using AHP we can select the fuel by comparing various\ud factors in a mathematical model. This is a scientific method to find out the best fuel by making pairwise\ud comparisons
