Objective Evaluation of Automatic Ambulance Performance and Weight Determination Through Analytic Hierarchy Process and Gray Correlation Theory

This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for testing and evaluating automatic ambulances, crucial for ensuring their reliability and safety in real-world scenarios. The framework includes designing test scenarios with varying complexity, covering environmental factors like road conditions, weather, and obstacles. An evaluation index system is introduced, comprising driving security, ride comfort, intelligence, and efficiency. Methodologies for calculating indicator weights, using the CRITIC and AHP methods, are presented to ensure fair evaluation. Additionally, evaluation methods including qualitative and quantitative techniques, such as grey correlation theory, are discussed. The test results show that the assessment results of the traditional fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the grey correlation theory evaluation method are highly consistent. The change in vehicle speed has less of an effect on accuracy during the real-time assessment process when the time interval is set to 0.1s, and the evaluation time of 0.098s can satisfy the requirement that the planning time of autonomous driving vehicles be shorter than 200 ms.
