New methods, like fuzzy logic, are coming into the field of adaptive traffic signal control. Development of the fuzzy control can roughly be divided into two research approaches: development of fuzzy control functions, and development of fuzzy inference methods. Both approaches are discussed in this paper. First, a lately developed fuzzy inference method, called maximal fuzzy similarity, is int...

teristics of the active devices in analog circuit, the fuzzy elements can be implemented in very simple structures. This brings a reduction in the circuit complexity which implies better speed performance and reduced chip area consumption. Until now the main drawback of the analog approaches has been their poor flexibility. Some programmable analog fuzzy chips have been suggested. Yamakawa et a...

This paper proposes two kinds of fuzzy abductive inference in the framework of fuzzy rule base. The abductive inference processes described here depend on the semantic of the rule. We distinguish two classes of interpretation of a fuzzy rule, certainty generation rules and possible generation rules. In this paper we present the architecture of abductive inference in the first class of interpret...

This paper describes a comparative evaluation of two fuzzy-derived techniques for modelling fuel spray penetration in the cylinders of a diesel internal combustion engine. The first model is implemented using conventional fuzzy-based paradigm, where human expertise and operator knowledge were used to select the parameters for the system. The second model used an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference s...

Introduction: As we know, an implementation of fuzzy inference can be done on general purpose computer architectures (including digital signal processors and microcontrollers) or on a special fuzzy hardware [1]. Analogous and digital techniques are used. Fuzzy controllers working on stochastic logic represent a special kind of fuzzy hardware [2], [3]. The stochastic logic uses binary random sig...

This paper presents a proposition of the knowledge representation and the inference procedure including two types of uncertainty: probabilistic and fuzzy. Added weights to the fuzzy rule-based model state probabilities of fuzzy events in antecedents and consequents. The exemplary calculations are presented. Key-Words: Fuzzy sets, Knowledge representation, Inference procedure, Probability of fuz...

When designing any type of fuzzy rule based system, considerable effort is placed in identifying the correct number of fuzzy sets and the fine tuning of the corresponding membership functions. Once a rule base has been formulated a fuzzy inference strategy must be applied in order to combine grades of membership. Considerable time and effort is spent trying to determine the number of fuzzy sets...
