Large-scale and complex mechanical equipments usually operate under complicated and terrible conditions, making them inevitable for faults with various modes and severity. As they can incur substantial production loss and recovery cost. It is therefore, extremely essential to prognose an incipient fault before it leads to serious damage. However, faults of large scale and complex mechanical equ...

Effective file transfer is fundamental to many applications in highway Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs), e.g., social network applications, advertisement distributions, road traffic report, etc. However, due to the sparse development of roadside units (or access points) and the limited connection time between fast-moving vehicles, file transfer is susceptible to frequent interruptions, and ac...

An essential function of ATM is Connection Admission Control (CAC). To achieve higher network utilisation, bursty calls are statistically mul-tiplexed on a common link. We present a new CAC scheme based on Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Artiicial Neural Networks (ANNs) to exploit this key feature of ATM networks. Deening a hybrid intelligent system enables us to take advantage of both the learning capabi...

The primary objective of this work is the development of a fuzzy logic based algorithmic procedure for a reactive highway (arterial) monitoring and incident detection. The research study also aim s at developing a methodology for analyzing time-dependent incident data. Five years of records were gathered and analyzed using data cross tabulation and factorial analysis. A Visual Basic Microscopic...

Topographic data collected using RTK‐DGPS‐equipped farm vehicles during field operations could add additional benefits to the original capital investment in the equipment through the development of high‐accuracy field DEMs. Repeated surveys of elevation data from field operations may improve DEM accuracy over time. However, minimizing the amount of data to be processed and stored is also an imp...

All practical digital circuits are usually a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. Flip–flops are essential to sequential logic therefore fuzzy flip–flops are considered to be among the most essential topics of fuzzy digital circuit. The concept of fuzzy digital circuit is among the most interesting applications of fuzzy sets and logic due to the fact that if there has to be an ultimat...

In this paper a fuzzy logic (FL) based load frequency controller (LFC) called discrete FuzzyP+FuzzyI+FuzzyD (FP+FI+FD) is proposed to ensure the stability of a multi-source power system in restructured environment. The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used for optimum designing the proposed control strategy to reduce fuzzy system effort and achieve the best performance of LFC task. Further...

Dam breach width significantly influences peak breach outflow, inundation levels, and flood arrival time, but uncertainties inherent in the prediction of its value for embankment dams make its accurate estimation a challenging task in dam risk assessments. The key focus of this paper is to provide a fuzzy logic (FL) model for estimating the average breach width of embankment dams as an alternat...
