AI-powered decision making for road safety optimization under probabilistic linguistic Sugeno-Weber aggregation information
Abstract
Traffic accidents, a global concern, pose threats to lives and carry substantial economic and societal burdens. This paper explores the innovative integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the ambiance of Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to address the challenge. We investigate AI's potential to enhance road safety globally, utilizing data analysis, predictive modeling, and intelligent traffic management systems. Our goal is to revolutionize accident prevention by optimizing decision-making processes and promoting safer and more efficient road environments. In the realm of information aggregation and fusion, growing interest among researchers has centered on probabilistic linguistic expression sets, which adeptly aggregate uncertain data. This article's primary aim is to explore methodologies for aggregating information within a probabilistic linguistic environment. To achieve this goal, we have introduced procedural laws based on the Sugeno-Weber (SW) framework for handling probabilistic linguistic term elements (PLTEs), rooted in both the product and sum of SW operations. Consequently, we have crafted a range of probabilistic linguistic aggregation techniques, encompassing the probabilistic linguistic SW Average (PLSWA) and Geometric (PLSWG), followed by weighted as well as ordered aggregation operators like PLSWWA and PLSWWG, PLSWOWA and PLSWOWG. By harnessing SW τ-norm and τ-conorm, we have developed versatile aggregation tools that facilitate information reinforcement. Through the utilization of proposed operators, we have presented strategies for effectively integrating probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTs) in the context of MCDM. We have compared our suggested procedures with the TOPSIS approach and elucidated the diverse features inherent to these operators.
