Abstract
A fuzzy distance measure is introduced in this paper to evaluate the fuzzy distance between two fuzzy numbers. For this purpose, alpha-values of fuzzy numbers are used to develop an integral-based fuzzy distance measure. The properties of the proposed fuzzy distance measure are verified. The proposed fuzzy distance measure is also compared with other fuzzy distance measures.
