This paper describes the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methodology for the backcalculation of airport flexible pavement layer moduli. The proposed ANFIS-based backcalculation approach employs a hybrid learning procedure to construct a non-linear input-output mapping based on qualitative aspects of human knowledge and pavement engineering experience incorporated in...

In this paper, the hydro power plant model (with penstock-wall elasticity and compressible water column effect) is simulated at random load disturbance variation with output as turbine speed for random gate position as input. The multilayer perceptron neural network (i.e. NNARX) and fused neural network and fuzzy inference system (i.e. ANFIS) for identification of turbine speed as output variab...

In this study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is designed for output voltage and frequency control of a variable-speed wind power generation system. Variable-speed wind power generation systems (VSWPGS) provide the opportunity to capture more power than fixed speed turbines. On the other hand, the variable-speed wind turbine output can be variable voltage and variable frequency for fl...

The quantification and prediction of inter-agent dependency requirements is one of the main concerns in Agent Oriented Requirements Engineering. To evaluate exertion load of an agent within resource constraints, this work provides a comparative analysis of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN is widely known due to its capability of learning the...

labyrinth spillway is an appropriate option to pass pmf discharge. the most advantages of this type of spillway are higher discharge capacity, easy aeration as well as low fluctuations of flow surface. it is essential to find the optimum geometry considering the maximum passing discharge under specific hydraulic conditions with minimum construction cost. in this study, fuzzy inference system (f...

This paper presents the design of the hybrid PID-ANFIS controller for controlling the speed of the Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDCM). The objective of this work is to obtain the BLDCM speed controller equipment effectively. The hybrid PID-ANFIS controller is a combination of classical PID controller and ANFIS controller. This method is applied to BLDCM speed controller by simulation and im...

Purpose. To develop an automated classifier based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to differentiate between normal and glaucomatous eyes from the quantitative assessment of summary data reports of the Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) in Taiwan Chinese population. Methods. This observational non-interventional, cross-sectional, case–control study included one randomly s...

Process variables vary with time in certain applications. Monitoring systems let us avoid severe economic losses resulting from unexpected electric system failures by improving the system reliability and maintainability The installation and maintenance of such monitoring systems is easy when it is implemented using wireless techniques. ZigBee protocol, that is a wireless technology developed as...

the lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. it is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (manfis) are proposed for this behavior. these models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a driver...
