Abstract: This paper presents an approaching forward collision probability index (AFCPI) for alerting and assisting driver in keeping safety distance to avoid the forward collision accident in highway driving. The time to collision (TTC) and time headway (TH) are used to evaluate the TTC forward collision probability index (TFCPI) and the TH forward collision probability index (HFCPI), respectively. The Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithm is presented combining TFCPI and HFCPI to calculate the approaching collision probability index of the vehicle. The AFCPI is easier to understand for the driver who did not even have any professional knowledge in vehicle professional field. At the same time, the driver’s behavior is taken into account for suiting each driver. For the approaching index, the value 0 is indicating the 0% probability of forward collision, and the values 0.5 and 1 are indicating the 50% and 100% probabilities of forward collision, respectively. The AFCPI is useful and easy-to-understand for alerting driver to avoid the forward collision accidents when driving in highway.
Abstract: Hybrid algorithm is the hot issue in Computational
Intelligence (CI) study. From in-depth discussion on Simulation
Mechanism Based (SMB) classification method and composite patterns,
this paper presents the Mamdani model based Adaptive Neural
Fuzzy Inference System (M-ANFIS) and weight updating formula in
consideration with qualitative representation of inference consequent
parts in fuzzy neural networks. M-ANFIS model adopts Mamdani
fuzzy inference system which has advantages in consequent part.
Experiment results of applying M-ANFIS to evaluate traffic Level
of service show that M-ANFIS, as a new hybrid algorithm in computational
intelligence, has great advantages in non-linear modeling,
membership functions in consequent parts, scale of training data and
amount of adjusted parameters.
Abstract: This paper discusses a method for improving accuracy
of fuzzy-rule-based classifiers using particle swarm optimization
(PSO). Two different fuzzy classifiers are considered and optimized.
The first classifier is based on Mamdani fuzzy inference system
(M_PSO fuzzy classifier). The second classifier is based on Takagi-
Sugeno fuzzy inference system (TS_PSO fuzzy classifier). The
parameters of the proposed fuzzy classifiers including premise
(antecedent) parameters, consequent parameters and structure of
fuzzy rules are optimized using PSO. Experimental results show that
higher classification accuracy can be obtained with a lower number
of fuzzy rules by using the proposed PSO fuzzy classifiers. The
performances of M_PSO and TS_PSO fuzzy classifiers are compared
to other fuzzy based classifiers
