The paper must have abstract. In this paper, we present a fuzzy shortest path algorithm in Multimodal Transportation Networks (MTN). To extend the classical problem of shortest path, an innovative framework is presented, which integrates Fuzzy Logic and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. The aim is to deal with an efficient design for the multimodal shortest path computation taking into accounts not only the expected travel time, but also additional constraints such as: delays at mode and arc switching points, costs, viability of the sequence of the used modes and the number of modal transfers. To this scope, all previously mentioned constraints are evaluated following a new approach based on Fuzzy Logic and aggregated using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to find the shortest path in MTN. A numerical example is also presented to demonstrate the computational process of the proposed approach.
