Abstract: In order to reduce the error in the evaluation of the development level of low-carbon transportation in cities, a method for evaluating the development of low-carbon transportation in cities based on integrated weighting is proposed. Firstly, analyse the principles of the development evaluation indicator system, and construct an indicator system for the evaluation of urban low-carbon transportation development from two aspects: low-carbon transportation energy efficiency and low-carbon transportation operation. Secondly, integrate the weights of analytic hierarchy process and entropy method, and use integrated weighting to calculate the weights of evaluation indicators. Finally, based on the dimensionless processing results of indicator attributes, calculate the development level score of urban low-carbon transportation, and complete the evaluation of low-carbon transportation development. Experimental results show that this method can reduce the root-mean-square deviation and mean absolute error of evaluation results, and the maximum mean absolute error is not more than 0.1.

Keywords: integrated empowerment; urban low-carbon transportation; development evaluation; low carbon transportation energy efficiency.
