AbstractIn order to solve the problems of unreasonable fusion results of high conflict evidence and ineffectiveness of coefficient weighting in classical evidence theory, a method of evidence fusion based on evidence trust degree and exponential weighting is proposed. Firstly, the fusion factor is constructed based on probability distribution function and evidence trust degree, then the fusion factor is exponentially weighted by evidence weight, and then the evidence fusion rule based on fusion factor is constructed. The results show that this method can effectively solve the problems of unreasonable fusion results of high conflict evidence and ineffectiveness of coefficient weighting. It shows that the new fusion method are more reasonable, which provides a new idea and method for solving the problems in evidence theory.
