This paper presents a new general purpose neuro-fuzzy controller to realize adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) architecture. ANFIS which tunes the fuzzy inference system with a back propagation algorithm based on collection of input-output data makes fuzzy system to learn. To implementing this idea we propose several improved CMOS analog circuits, including Gaussian-like memb...

this paper presents a prediction model based on a new neuro-fuzzy algorithm for estimating time in construction projects. the output of the proposed prediction model, which is employed based on a locally linear neuro-fuzzy (llnf) model, is useful for assessing a project status at different time horizons. being trained by a locally linear model tree (lolimot) learning algorithm, the model is int...

short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . these results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...

Article Info Abstract This paper presents a Hybrid Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Control technique for speed control of BLDC motor drives. The proposed controller is an integration of adaptive neuro fuzzy, fuzzy PID and PD controllers. The objective is to utilize the best attribute of fuzzy PID and PD controllers, which exhibits a better response than the neuro fuzzy controllers. The error back propagat...

The summer season of 2003 in Continental Portugal was by far the worst in what respects both to the number of forest fires and the amount of burnt area. In the present work, burnt area monitoring was performed using NOAA/AVHRR imagery by means of a neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) algorithm that was applied on an operational basis to the surface of the country. Validation of obtained results was performed b...

The design and optimization process of fuzzy controllers can be supported by learning techniques derived from neural networks. Such approaches are usually called neuro-fuzzy systems. In this paper, we describe the application of an updated version of the neuro-fuzzy model NEFCON to a real plant. The NEFCON model is able to learn and optimize the rulebase of a Mamdani-type fuzzy controller onlin...

Voting algorithms are extensively used to make decisions in fault tolerant systems where each redundant module gives inconsistent outputs. Popular voting algorithms include majority voting, weighted voting, and inexact majority voters. Each of these techniques suffers from scenarios where agreements do not exist for the given voter inputs. This has been successfully overcome in literature using...
