Research on the effect evaluation method of freight automated driving demonstration application based on AHP-fuzzy evaluation method

Currently, the transportation industry has deficiencies in evaluating the effect of freight automated driving demonstration applications, Demonstration application programs focus only on whether it is there or not, there is no “good” or “bad” evaluation, and cannot provide positive feedback for the improvement of autonomous driving technology and industry application. This paper applies the AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to construct an evaluation model for the effect evaluation of freight automated driving demonstration applications. Firstly it establishes an evaluation system, which contains 6 first-level indicators and 20 second-level indicators. Then it applies the expert research method and AHP method to determine the weights of the indicators, and builds an evaluation model using the fuzzy evaluation method. Finally, “Tianjin Port to Majuqiao Logistics Park Highway Automated Freight Driving Pilot” is selected as a case study for engineering evaluation. The evaluation result indicates that the evaluation grade of this pilot is between “better” and “good”, which verifies the feasibility of the method and provides a scientific basis for the effect evaluation of freight automated driving demonstration application.
