Abstract
The transportation sector has extensive environmental, social, and economic impacts on society. Given such impacts, it is necessary for this sector to rely on sustainable development. A growing number of investigations explore fuzzy decision systems for sustainable transport each year, addressing a multitude of topics in this area of research. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status and trends of studies exploring “fuzzy decision systems for sustainable transport.” To accomplish this, the study relies on the scientometric analysis and uses the bibliographic information stored on Web of Science Core Collection. The study, more specifically, seeks to focus on three central purposes: to identify the specifications of publications investigating fuzzy decision systems for sustainable transport; to explain how research studies in this field have taken shape; and to specify hot topics and frontiers of research exploration in this area. The findings of this study offer new insights into research on fuzzy decision systems for sustainable transport, from various perspectives. Another contribution of this study is that it helps researchers to readily observe the status of various topics in this area and gain knowledge of the frontiers of research.
