Discovering the most urgent 5G services for the competitiveness of the port using an updated Analytic Hierarchic Process in the 5G-LOGINNOV project

The Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) is a type of analysis that allows finding - considering different criteria and given a certain objective - the best option among different choices [1]. Since it is not always possible and easy to collect proper data for AHP (especially if the context is complex and the stakeholders are complicated to contact), in this paper we want to propose a new methodology that allow to perform the AHP using data collected for other scopes. Following in the footsteps of the AHP proposed by Saaty [1], through a new methodology this paper identifies the most important 5G services for the competitiveness of the port. The research field is the 5G-LOGINNOV project and the research question that guided the work is: which 5G service best meets the most urgent needs of the ports? The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for an AHP that can be re-used to understand which are the most urgent services needed in line with the defined objectives.
