Abstract

Technology roadmappinghas been employed for years as an important tool formanagingtechnology and innova-tion. The latest discussions in technology roadmapping gobeyond the T-plan, which is the most popular roadmap-ping process based on a few workshops of experts. Developing data-driven approaches to modernize this roadmap-ping process is an active area of research. In parallel withthese efforts, we explore a new unified approach in this study by integrating an innovation intelligence process into roadmapping. This systematic innovation intelligence process incorporates relevant patent and publication data, and its methodology is based on topic modeling and type-2 fuzzy sets. Through this unified approach, we provide an augmented technology roadmapping schema that involvestechnology trendiness infographics. This study illustrates how this approachisexecutedby providing a case study onunmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies.
