Studies on Evaluation of Modernization of the Inland Port and Shipping Management based on DPSIR Model and Gray Correlation Evaluation Model

AbstractAccording to the ambiguity and uncertainty for evaluation on Modernization of the Inland Port and Shipping Management (MIPSM) as well as the deficiency of objectivity and accuracy for traditional evaluation methods, the paper establishes the index system for the evaluation based on DPSIR model. Moreover, the paper determines the index weight based on Entropy Weight. Thus, the stage of development of MIPSM is determined according to the gray correlation degree between the evaluated objective and the stage of development. Credible results are obtained from the case application. Therefore, this research can provide a new way to evaluate the modernization of the inland port and shipping management
