Systems Analysis Approach to Selection of Farm Equipment

The effects of roadway characteristics on farm equipment crashes: a geographic information systems approach

BACKGROUND Tractors and other slow-moving self-propelled farm equipment are often used on public roadway to transfer goods from the farm to a market or distributer. Increased roadway exposure has led to a growing concern on the occurrence of farm equipment crashes. This study aims to compare characteristics of road segments with farm equipment crashes to road segments without farm equipment cra...

A NEW APPROACH TO STABILITY ANALYSIS OF FUZZY RELATIONAL MODEL OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...
