A road data assets revenue allocation model based on a modified Shapley value approach considering contribution evaluation

Abstract

Abstract This paper constructs a two-layer road data asset revenue allocation model based on a modified Shapley value approach. The first layer allocates revenue to three roles in the data value realization process: the original data collectors, the data processors, and the data product producers. It fully considers and appropriately adjusts the revenue allocation to each role based on data risk factors. The second layer determines the correction factors for different roles to distribute revenue among the participants within those roles. Finally, the revenue values of the participants within each role are synthesized to obtain a consolidated revenue distribution for each participant. Compared to the traditional Shapley value method, this model establishes a revenue allocation evaluation index system, uses entropy weighting and rough set theory to determine the weights, and adopts a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and numerical analysis to assess the degree of contribution of participants. It fully accounts for differences in both the qualitative and quantitative contributions of participants, enabling a fairer and more reasonable distribution of revenues. This study provides new perspectives and methodologies for the benefit distribution mechanism in road data assets, which aid in promoting the market-based use of road data assets, and it serves as an important reference for the application of data assetization in the road transportation industry.
