Assessing the Adaptation of Internet of Things (IoT) Barriers for Smart Cities’ Waste Management Using Fermatean Fuzzy Combined Compromise Solution Approach

Abstract

This study proposes a systematic methodology of the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) barriers (IoTBs) that exist in the waste management structures of smart cities (SCs) in growing economies likely India. A hybrid multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) is applied and has recognized 15 IoTBs from literature and experts opinions obstructing the IoT adoption in SCs of India. The different IoTBs are studied using the similarity measure-based new weighting approach, and the combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) method. Considering that Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs) can represent this uncertainty, this paper proposes a decision-making framework for waste management system solutions based on the FFSs and builds a complete evaluation index system. Herein, we first combine the Archimedean Copula operations and Archimedean operations and term them as 'generalized Archimedean Copula operations' for FFSs. Based on these new operations, we develop the Fermatean fuzzy generalized Archimedean copula weighted averaging (FFGACWA) and Fermatean fuzzy generalized Archimedean copula weighted geometric (FFGACWG) operators. Then, we construct a decision algorithm based on FFWGAAC and FFWGGAC operators. Second, we propose new weighting procedure based on similarity measure to discuss the significance degree of IoTBs. Further, we apply this method to the evaluation and selection of a methodology of IoTBs in smart cities' waste management (SCWM) assignments, and prove the effectiveness of this method. The algorithm can represent the Fermatean fuzzy information in a complex environment. It cannot only consider the uncertainty of the decision-makers (DMEs) when giving the evaluation value but also synthesize the relationship between any numbers of evaluation criteria. Finally, the superiority of the methodology is discussed by sensitivity analysis and comparative study. The results show that the method can effectively handle the decision-making problems in complex environments. This paper will assist the representatives, stakeholders and government to know the importance of IoTBs affecting waste management processes, and it will certainly help them to take judgments for exterminating the IoTBs for an effective IoT employment in SCWM assignments.

Implementation and Recognition of Waste Management in Smart Cities Using IOT

“…LITERATURE SURVEY As stated by [1] a dynamic structure for squander the board framework arrangements in view of the FFSs and constructs a total assessment file framework. Thus, we first consolidate the Archimedean Copula activities and Archimedean tasks and term them as 'summed up Archimedean Copula tasks' for FFSs.…”

Interval-Valued Pythagorean Fuzzy Similarity Measure-Based Complex Proportional Assessment Method for Waste-to-Energy Technology Selection

“…Peng et al [58] extended novel entropy, distance and similarity measures to solve the problems that arise in image segmentation and disease diagnosis. Later on, many research efforts have been made in the context of PF-SMs [31,[59][60][61][62]. Further, Biswas and Sarkar [63] proposed a point operator based IPF-SMs using a weighted Minkowski distance of IPFNs and "IPF point operators (IPFPOs)" [33].…”

Fermatean Fuzzy IWP-TOPSIS-GRA Multi-Criteria Group Analysis and Its Application to Healthcare Waste Treatment Technology Evaluation

“…The research related to FFSs is gradually enriched in a great many areas. To assemble Fermatean fuzzy (FF) numbers, the FF Archimedean copula-based symmetric Maclaurin mean, soft aggregation, and Archimedean copula operators were proposed one after another [14][15][16]. Decision tools including TOPSIS, Measurement Alternatives and Ranking Based on Compromise Solution (MARCOS), and Elimination and Choice Transiting Reality (ELECTRE) in the FF environment were successfully extended to solve supplier selection [17], HCW treatment site selection [18], and biomedical material selection problems [19].…”
