Abstract
In a country like India, which has large number of routes between two given places, it is difficult to identify the most convenient and best route for travelling. Also, deciding the mode of transport according to the comfort of the person will require deep knowledge of the routes and the variables which affect the travel. To solve these problems, many algorithms have been suggested, but there are very few models that incorporate all the factors affecting the convenience of the routes and the modes of transport. In the developed Fuzzy Rule Based System, multiple modes are evaluated for all the existing routes incorporating all the factors and the favorable outcome is determined. I observed that finding the optimal route and the best transport mode becomes very easy with this system; also it emphasizes the convenience factor that is of utmost importance in any kind of transport applications. This system has additional advantage of economy of the time consumed for finding the results.
