Abstract: We have presented a novel method for solving the fuzzy shortest path problem (FSPP) considering Type-I and Type-II weighted trapezoidal fuzzy number (WTpFN) and weighted triangular fuzzy number (WTrFN) and also can predict the crisp shortest path (CSP) length. Additionally, the method is compared with some existing methods. Finally, we have given some numerical experiments to show the effectiveness of the proposed model. Numerical and graphical results show that the new technique is superior to the current methods.
