Assessing the Role of AI-Based Smart Sensors in Smart Cities Using AHP and MOORA

Abstract

We know that in today’s advanced world, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)-grounded methodologies are playing a very optimistic role in performing difficult and time-consuming activities very conveniently and quickly. However, for the training and testing of these procedures, the main factor is the availability of a huge amount of data, called big data. With the emerging techniques of the Internet of Everything (IoE) and the Internet of Things (IoT), it is very feasible to collect a large volume of data with the help of smart and intelligent sensors. Based on these smart sensing devices, very innovative and intelligent hardware components can be made for prediction and recognition purposes. A detailed discussion was carried out on the development and employment of various detectors for providing people with effective services, especially in the case of smart cities. With these devices, a very healthy and intelligent environment can be created for people to live in safely and happily. With the use of modern technologies in integration with smart sensors, it is possible to use energy resources very productively. Smart vehicles can be developed to sense any emergency, to avoid injuries and fatal accidents. These sensors can be very helpful in management and monitoring activities for the enhancement of productivity. Several significant aspects are obtained from the available literature, and significant articles are selected from the literature to properly examine the uses of sensor technology for the development of smart infrastructure. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is used to give these attributes weights. Finally, the weights are used with the multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA) technique to provide the different options in their order of importance.

Evaluation of Smart Sensors for Subway Electric Motor Escalators through AHP-Gaussian Method

“…The research of [44][45][46] clearly describes how it is possible to carry out a decisionmaking process through the AHP-Gaussian model as well as other aspects related to MCDMs. Still, the MCDM approach and the work of [34] use the AHP and MOORA decision-making models for a hybrid approach to a decision support problem involving smart sensors, in line with the objective intended by the current work.…”

“…To analyze these parameters, the sensors need to have adequate measurement capacity. Otherwise, a physical event may occur in the engine and not be seen by the sensor [34,55,67,77].…”

“…However, there are several types of smart sensors available on the market. It is necessary to evaluate which sensor is most suitable for a specific operation, considering physical parameters of the process, such as temperature and vibration range, and aspects such as the financial ability to purchase these sensors [32][33][34].…”

“…With AI in processes being one of the rising research fields (e.g. Liu, 2024;Hombalimath et al, 2023;Al-Dhaimesh and Taib, 2023), multivariate decision-making models have proven very useful in assessing disruptive technologies to improve decision-making (Khan and Nazir, 2023;Liu, 2024).…”

Revolutionizing U.S. Pavement Infrastructure: A pathway to sustainability and resilience through nanotechnology and AI Innovations

“…AI is making the bulk of the influence in one of the critical aspects-the smart cities and the urban management systems. AI-enabled smart sensors and data analysis are increasingly utilized in the city management environment to monitor and optimize the various aspects of urban infrastructure, including transport systems, power grids, waste management and water networks (Khan and Nazir, 2023). These technologies allow for on-time monitoring, up-keeping the system and good resource allocation which in the end better the service delivery and resource management in urban environments.…”
