“…Zhang et al 15 analyzed 38 cities to locate multimodal container hubs using grey area relational analysis, and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). They 16 then evaluated 22 cities as possible locations to serve as Chinese international container hubs by applying GRA and the TOPSIS method. Although vector normalization is commonly used with the classical TOPSIS method, they applied the sum normalization approach.…”

Researchers have addressed uncertainty in multicriteria decision making from the perspective of the performance values of the alternatives, weighting of the evaluation criteria, and the evaluation methods. Still, they are yet to address the uncertainty caused by the normalization approach. In this paper, we show that different normalization methods, namely sum normalization, min–max normalization, vector normalization, and maximization normalization, can result in different rankings of the alternatives while the performance values and weights are unchanged. We applied the grey system theory to address the problem of uncertainty in this study from three aspects: alternative performance values measurement, criteria weighting, and decision matrix/table normalization within a period. The grey hybrid normalization method is proposed as the main contribution in this paper. Then, we present the rankings of 48 cities under uncertainty to decide the location of a branch office of a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer as a practical example based on the grey entropy weighting method and grey relational analysis with positive and negative references (GRA-PNR) within the period from the year 2019 to 2021. The research results using this approach ranked New York City the best, with a stock market capitalization of economy validity as the top contributor in terms of weighting. Finally, we used simple additive weighting with grey value and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution with grey value methods to validate the study results.

“…By considering the comprehensive conditions of the study area, this paper chooses the gravity model [4] to measure and analyze the economic linkages. The change in intraregional traffic accessibility provides support and conditions for reshaping the pattern of economic linkages.…”

“…With China's bilateral and multilateral trade cooperation with Central Asian countries continuing to deepen, the demand for a Xinjiang-Central Asia five region transportation market has become increasingly strong. However, according to the survey, the overall quality of transportation infrastructure in the five Central Asian countries is at the lower-middle level (Table 1), and the level of regional connectivity has become a bottleneck restricting cross-border openness and cooperation [4]. Xinjiang and the five Central Asian countries are located in the same hinterland of the Eurasian continent.…”

Facility connectivity plays a pioneering role in the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping in 2013. Xinjiang, as the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt bordering eight Eurasian countries, plays a crucial role in cross-border transportation and humanistic exchanges and is the focus of the national connectivity initiative. While the current analysis on regional accessibility has become more diversified, analyses on long-distance cross-border corridors are still relatively rare. Therefore, this paper takes the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China as the main study area extending westward to the five Central Asian countries. Modified accessibility accounting methods and gravity models are used to analyze the current status of accessibility and the strength of economic ties between Xinjiang and the five Central Asian countries. The results showed that the distance decay effect of transportation accessibility between Xinjiang and the five Central Asian countries is obvious; the constraints of “natural geography + transportation economy” affect the accessibility level from each state in Xinjiang to the five Central Asian countries and shows a trend of strength in the north and weakness in the south. From the optimization of the regional planning road network in a reverse projection, G3033 and other highways and the construction of the Yi-A railroad will improve the status quo of “east-west access but not north-south access” in Xinjiang. The “corridor effect” and spatial polarization characteristics of economic connection intensity from Xinjiang to the five Central Asian countries are significant. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for the construction of cross-border corridors.
