Smart Urban Mobility System Evaluation Model Adaptation to Vilnius, Montreal and Weimar Cities

To date, there is no developed and validated way to assess urban smartness. When evaluating smart city mobility systems, different authors distinguish different indicators. After analysing the evaluation indicators of the transport system presented in the scientific articles, the most relevant and influential indicators were selected. This article develops a hierarchical evaluation model for evaluating a smart city transportation system. The indicators are divided into five groups called “factors”. Several indicators are assigned to each of the listed groups. A hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method was used to calculate the significance of the selected indicators and to compare urban mobility systems. The applied multi-criteria evaluation methods were simple additive weighting (SAW), complex proportional assessment (COPRAS), and technique for order preference by similiarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The significance of factors and indicators was determined by expert evaluation methods: the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), direct, when experts evaluate the criteria as a percentage (sum of evaluations of all criteria 100%) and ranking (prioritisation). The evaluation and comparison of mobility systems were performed in two stages: when the multi-criteria evaluation is performed according to the indicators of each factor separately and when performing a comprehensive assessment of the smart mobility system according to the integrated significance of the indicators. A leading city is identified and ranked according to the smartness level. The aim of this article is to create a hierarchical evaluation model of the smart mobility systems, to compare the smartness level of Vilnius, Montreal, and Weimar mobility systems, and to create a ranking.

The Construction of English Smart Classroom and the Innovation of Teaching Mode under the Background of Internet of Things Multimedia Communication

There are some problems in English smart classroom, such as slow response speed of related platforms and room for improvement of teaching effect. Therefore, it is necessary to construct English smart classroom and innovate teaching mode under the background of Internet of Things (IoT) multimedia communication. The teaching objectives are divided into classroom teaching objectives, curriculum objectives, and education and training objectives, so as to design the technical support for English smart classroom, that is, to build a smart classroom integrating cloud application platform (including students’ learning cloud and teachers’ teaching cloud), teaching platform, resource platform, learning space, and interactive classroom by using Internet of Things multimedia communication technology, and build an innovative teaching mode of English wisdom classroom. The fuzzy hierarchical evaluation model is used to design the fuzzy hierarchical evaluation algorithm. Through the fuzzy hierarchical evaluation algorithm, the teaching effect of smart classroom is evaluated, and the final evaluation result is obtained. The results show that the average platform login time of the proposed method is always below 0.3 s, the average score of the summative evaluation is high, the evaluation time is always below 0.4 s, the average communication delay is 0.54 s, and the user satisfaction is always above 9.2. The practical application effect is better.
