Expressing and processing complex preferences in route planning queries: Towards a fuzzy-set-based approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a contribution for a new generation of route planners able to deal with complex and sophisticated preferences. Fuzzy set theory is advocated as a framework for modelling preferences. First, a typology of user preferences that make sense in the context of unimodal route planning is investigated. The bipolar nature of such preferences is discussed as well. The foundations of both a formal language and an SQL-like language dedicated to bipolar route planning queries are then presented and illustrated with different examples. The basic components of the architecture of the system proposed are described and deep details about query evaluation are provided. Finally, the approach is evaluated by means of a set of experiments. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Integrating Complex User Preferences into a Route Planner: A Fuzzy-Set-Based Approach
Route planners are systems which help users select a route between two locations. In such a context, personalization mechanisms notably aim at taking into account user preferences so as to identify the best route(s) among a set of possible answers. In this paper, we present a framework based on fuzzy set theory for modeling complex user preferences. We provide a typology of preferences which ma...
متن کاملGroup Decision Making based on a New Evaluation Method and Hesitant Fuzzy Setting with an Application to an Energy Planning Problem
In recent two decades, countries focused on minimum extraction of fossil fuels and utilized the renewable energies based on countries' policies and the environmental considerations. Thus, choosing the best renewable energy alternative is a significant role to investment on them. Among the classical decision approaches that have used in the literature, the hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs) theory is ap...

Transport route planning is one of the most important and frequent activities in supply chain management. The design of information systems for route planning in real contexts faces two relevant challenges: the complexity of the planning and the lack of complete and precise information. The purpose of this paper is to nd methods for the development of transport route planning in uncertainty dec...
متن کاملA Knowledge-Based Fuzzy Query and Results Ranking Approach for Relational Databases
Users often have vague or imprecise ideas when searching the databases and thus may not know how to precisely formulate queries that lead to satisfactory answers. Based on the fuzzy set thoery, this paper proposes a fuzzy query approach which can support the expression of fuzzy queries and translate the fuzzy query into the precise query in order to provide relevant answers to the users. The fu...
متن کاملAn enhanced reliability-oriented workforce planning model for process industry using combined fuzzy goal programming and differential evolution approach
This paper draws on the “human reliability” concept as a structure for gaining insight into the maintenance workforce assessment in a process industry. Human reliability hinges on developing the reliability of humans to a threshold that guides the maintenance workforce to execute accurate decisions within the limits of resources and time allocations. This concept offers a worthwhile point of de...
