Abstract：In order to effectively solve the conflict evidence combination problems,an evidence combination method is proposed. Based on a new conflict representation and the association of quantitative evidence,the weight of each evidence is calculated. Then compared with average weight,the conflict evidence or low credibility of evidence is identified and the discount correction is made,and the use of the original evidence source information is maximized. Finally,the D-S combination rule is employed. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance,fast convergence and high reliability compared with other typical methods.
