AHP-based Evaluation of IoT-aided Stadium Information System
ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT), a new information technology, has obviously prompted building management. For stadiums are symbol buildings of many cities, investments on their modern upgrade are sustainable and incredible. Any investment will be focused by the public. However, lacking decision-making methodology for judging the income makes it difficult for upgrade willing of stadium owners. This paper has proposed a conceptual model of IoT-aided stadium information system (SIS) basing Internet of Things (IoT). Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a Multi-Criteria Decision Making template was designed for comparing SIS with a conventional SIS that in use at the Nanjing Olympic Center of China. The results showed that IoT-aided SIS was more meaningful and efficient than conventional SIS. With IoT, SIS helps stadium and enlarge its functional capability for local community and provide potentiality for the sports market. As an experimental technology still in progress, the key for IoT-aided SIS is the typical applications that provide standard and reference for future following applications.
