Establishment of Low-Carbon Evaluation Index System for Container Terminals

Abstract:

A low-carbon evaluation index system for container terminals is proposed on the basis of their characteristics and the concept of low-carbon port. This system takes quantitative indexes as the core, supplemented by qualitative ones. The weight of each index is determined by AHP, and then a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is established according to the AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Finally, the proposed model is applied to a certain region of a container terminal, and the result indicates that the proposed evaluation index system and evaluation model can provide a reference for the low-carbon level evaluation of container terminals.
