The performance of many components in intelligent transportation systems depends heavily on the quality of short-term traffic forecasts. We propose a new method for forecasting traffic based on type-2 fuzzy logic. Type-2 fuzzy logic is powerful in handling uncertainties, including uncertainties in measurements and data used to calibrate the parameters. In our formulation, the value of a members...

This paper presents a literature review of applications using type-2 fuzzy systems in the area of image processing. Over the last years, there has been a significant increase in research on higher-order forms of fuzzy logic; in particular, the use of interval type-2 fuzzy sets and general type-2 fuzzy sets. The idea of making use of higher orders, or types, of fuzzy logic is to capture and repr...

We describe a method for edge detection in digital images based on the morphological gradient and fuzzy logic. The goal is to improve one of the basic methods for edge detection in order to obtain a better result even without applying any filter to the image. The tests were made with a type-1 fuzzy inference system (T1FIS) and with an interval type-2 fuzzy inference system (IT2FIS). We show tha...

A hybrid approach composed by different types of fuzzy systems, such as the Type-1 Fuzzy Logic System (T1FLS), Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (IT2FLS) and Generalized Type-2 Fuzzy Logic System (GT2FLS) for the dynamic adaptation of the alpha and beta parameters of a Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) algorithm is presented. The objective of the work is to focus on the BCO technique to find the o...

Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) have been applied to date with great success to different applications. However, for many real-world applications, there is a need to cope with large amounts of uncertainties. The traditional Type-1 FLSs that use crisp Type-1 fuzzy sets cannot directly handle such uncertainties. Type-2 FLSs that use Type2 fuzzy sets can handle such uncertainties to produce a be...

A fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy system for classification of hydrometeor type based on polarimetric radar measurements is described in this paper. The hydrometeor classification system is implemented by using fuzzy logic and a neural network, where the fuzzy logic is used to infer hydrometeor type, and the neural network learning algorithm is used for automatic adjustment of the parameters of the...

Networked control systems (NCS) have been in attention for many researchers for the past ten years. Professional solutions like PROFINET or IWLAN are followed with cheaper and popular networks like ZigBee. Multiple control methodologies have been developed for this kind of systems. In this paper we threated network disadvantages as uncertainty and we reduced them with type-2 fuzzy logic control...
