Also, as the reasoning situation changes, the optimal parameter values may change. This paper first demonstrates how much the output of a given fuzzy system, one that controls an inverted pendulum, can vary depending on which aggregation operator and/or defuzzification method is used. These variations can be more significant than varying the rules or membership functions. Next, examples are given of how dynamic switching of parameterized operators can be used to determine appropriate parameter values as the reasoning situation changes. Our technique involves the dynamic generation of switching tables from which hierarchical meta-rules can be created. These meta-rules can then be used to dynamically change the appropriate parameter values as warranted.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133923885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the available funds must be selectively invested to achieve maximum benefits. To compete for scarce appropriation resources, USACE districts are now required to justify civil works rehabilitation project funding by demonstrating a need for improvement in reliability or efficiency. A risk-based benefit-cost model is utilized to establish funding justification. This analysis model requires input to assess the current condition of a structure and its degradation rate.

Understanding the way vehicles interact with one another within a traffic stream is an important topic in transportation engineering. The specific situation being studied is when a driver is following another vehicle because his/her speed is constrained by the vehicle ahead, or roadway or traffic conditions that do not allow passing. This is termed a car-following situation. This paper examines the potential of fuzzy set theory for representing the car-following phenomena and its application to platoon operation. The proposed model has simplified the model developed by Chakravorty by using just 36 rules. The proposed model directly addresses the fact that the distance headway maintained between vehicles is a function of speed by utilizing empirical speed-headway data. This allows the model to maintain an accurate headway at any speed. An additional advantage of using this speed-headway data is that drivers with different personalities may be simulated. The major focus of the proposed model is to simulate the propagation of vehicle-to-vehicle interaction along a platoon of vehicles. The model results are compared to the actual driver behavior observed on the highway using a test vehicle. The model allows analysis of the asymptotic stability of the platoon under various conditions, such as when different types of drivers are in the platoon. The proposed model has also performed well in the examination of emergency conditions and traffic signal release and stopping situations.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115997660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for more general fuzzy reasoning problems, there are a number of important ideas that must be addressed. We discuss these topics: (1) The theory of approximate reasoning may be of dubious utility in fuzzy reasoning systems: we present examples of fuzzy rules which cannot be evaluated by approximate reasoning. (2) In fuzzy reasoning, it is intuitive that defuzzification be the inverse of fuzzification. (3) In some situations, the excluded middle law should be obeyed; this can be easily accomplished by switching to the Lukasiewicz logic when ANDing or ORing incompatible conditions. (4) Prior knowledge of confidences in data and of grades of membership of discrete fuzzy sets must be taken into account if multi-step reasoning is to be carried out. (5) A general-purpose fuzzy reasoning system should be a generalization of a non-fuzzy artificial intelligence based reasoning system, and should be able to do what nonfuzzy reasoning systems can do.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115452385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The VBS provides a general framework for representing knowledge and drawing inferences under uncertainty. A VBS network is constructed and potentials are introduced in the form of belief functions (or basic probability assignments) in a PMS decision-making environment. A valuation network is another method of representing and solving Bayesian decision problems. It is based on the framework of VBSs. Valuation networks depict decision variables, random variables, utility functions and information constraints. The solution method for the valuation network is called a fusion algorithm, and Dempster's rule of combination can be successfully applied in this framework. It is shown that this approach can capture quantitative, qualitative and incomplete information in PMS decision-making.","PeriodicalId":298915,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 3rd International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis and Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124924414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
