WASPAS Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method for Assessment Effectiveness and Performance Intelligent Transportation Systems Alternatives

Abstract

The assessment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) plays a vital role in understanding their effectiveness, efficiency, and impact on transportation networks. This abstract provides an overview of the criteria for assessing ITS and highlights the importance of a comprehensive and multidimensional approach. The requirements discussed include safety, efficiency, mobility, environmental impact, user satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, scalability and interoperability, data security and privacy, technological reliability and resilience, regulatory and policy compliance, equity and accessibility, system integration, innovation and future-readiness, stakeholder engagement, performance monitoring and evaluation, resilience and disaster preparedness, social and economic impact, and continuous improvement and adaptation. By considering these criteria, stakeholders can gain valuable insights into the performance and benefits of ITS, aiding in decision-making, policy development, and future planning for transportation systems. This study uses multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies, such as the assessing attractiveness method and the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) method. The WASPAS method is used to rank the alternatives. We used 18 criteria and 8 alternatives to be organised. The sensitivity analysis is conducted to check the stability of the results.
