Abstract

Due to the global coverage and real-time access advantages of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS), the demonstration platform based on TDRSS can satisfy the new technology verification and demonstration needs of the space information network (evolution from sensorweb). However, the comprehensive evaluation research of this demonstration platform faces many problems: complicated and diverse technical indicators in various areas, coupling redundancy between indicators, difficulty in establishing the number of indicator system layers, and evaluation errors causing by subjective scoring. Concerning the difficulties, this paper gives a method to construct this special index system, and improves the consistency of evaluation results with Analytic Hierarchy Process in Group Decision-Making (AHP-GDM). A comprehensive evaluation index system including five criterions, 11 elements, more than 30 indicators is constructed according to the three-step strategy of initial set classification, hierarchical optimization, and de-redundancy. For the inconsistent scoring of AHP-GDM, a high-speed convergence consistency improvement strategy is proposed in this paper. Moreover, a method for generating a comprehensive judgment matrix (the aggregation of each judgment matrix) aggregation coefficient is provided. Numerical experiments show that this strategy effectively improves the consistency of the comprehensive judgment matrix. Finally, taking the evaluation of TDRSS development as an example, the versatility and feasibility of the new evaluation strategy are demonstrated.

Highlights

  • The information obtained by satellites’s sensors account for an increasing proportion of the total information obtained by humans

  • Dr Saaty analyzed the influence of the small disturbance on the consistency of the judgment matrix from the matrix principle in [20], and calculated the partial differential matrix and error matrix corresponding to the nearly consistent matrix

  • This paper presents a generation method based on authoritative ranking, which is equivalent to increasing the authoritative coefficient by a given step size d. λ2i is the deviation coefficient of the i-th judgment matrix

Summary

Introduction

The information obtained by satellites’s sensors account for an increasing proportion of the total information obtained by humans. Comprehensive evaluation with multiple indicators for the demonstration platform needs to be studied and designed. We built a comprehensive index system consisting of five criteria, 11 elements, and more than indicators, which effectively satisfied the TDRSS-based demonstration platform’s evaluation needs. The comprehensive evaluation index system for the space information network demonstration platform is proposed based on the above operations.
