Techniques for ranking simple fuzzy numbers are abundant in nature. However, we lack effective methods for ranking intuitionistic fuzzy numbers(IFN). The aim of this paper is to introduce a new ranking procedure for trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy number(TRIFN). To serve the purpose, the value and ambiguity index of TRIFNs have been defined. In order to rank TRIFNs, we have defined a ranking function by taking sum of value and ambiguity index. To illustrate the the proposed ranking method a numerical example has been given.
