ABSTRACT
Since, the widely-used applications of D-S theory in multi-sensor data fusion, various effective methods to overcome the inconsistent combination result of different Bodies Of Evidence (BOE), due to evidential conflict, have been proposed. In view of some of their deficiencies, this study, however, introduces a new evidential conflict coefficient, drawing on the theory of evidential distance, can effectively represent the evidential conflict, with numerical examples eventually demonstrated.
