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 ...

In this paper, we present an evolutionary multiobjective learning model achieving positive synergy between the Inference System and the Rule Base in order to obtain simpler, more compact and still accurate linguistic fuzzy models by learning fuzzy inference operators together with Rule Base. The Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm proposed generates a set of Fuzzy Rule Based Systems with diff...

in different projects the speed of different machinery can be estimated using manufacturer's handbooks and a number of modification factors to consider the environmental effects, type of the project and status of site management. since the statuses of different factors of the domestic projects are totally different from those of the international projects, there is a wide discrepancy betwe...

|This paper presents a new operator called adaptive operator for the Pseudo-Bacterial Genetic Algorithm (PBGA). The PBGA was proposed by the authors as a new approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with a local improvement mechanism inspired by a process in bacterial genetics. The PBGA was applied for the discovery of fuzzy rules. The aim of the newly introduced adaptive operator is to impr...

the use of fuzzy techniques has been considered to be one of the key components of data mining systems because of the affinity with human knowledge representation. A hybridization of fuzzy sets with genetic algorithms is described for Web mining in this paper. It is based on a hybrid technique that combines the strengths of rough set theory and genetic algorithm. The algorithm through the intro...

this paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. in this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. in this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...

It is known that neuro-fuzzy system is easily stuck in local minimum. To improve these drawbacks, a two-stage algorithm combining the advantages of neuro-fuzzy and genetic algorithms (GA) is integrated in system identification. Genetic algorithms are general purposed optimization algorithms with adaptive reproduction, crossover, and mutation operators that provide a method to search optimal par...

This paper presents a new genetic operator called adaptive operator to improve local portions of chromosomes. This new operator is implemented into PseudoBacterial Genetic Algorithm (PBGA). The PBGA was proposed by the authors as a new approach combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with a local improvement mechanism inspired by a process in bacterial genetics. The PBGA was applied for the acquisit...

A new interacting multiple model (IMM) algorithm using intelligent input estimation (IIE) is proposed for maneuvering target tracking. In the proposed method, the acceleration level for each sub-model is determined by IIE-the estimation of the unknown target acceleration by a fuzzy system using the relation between the residuals of the maneuvering filter and the non-maneuvering filter. The gene...
