Application of Fuzzy Logic in Transport Planning

Abstract

Fuzzy logic is shown to be a very promising mathematical approach for modelling traffic and transportation processes characterized by subjectivity, ambiguity, uncertainty and imprecision. The basic premises of fuzzy logic systems are presented as well as a detailed analysis of fuzzy logic systems developed to solve various traffic and transportation planning problems. Emphasis is put on the importance of fuzzy logic systems as universal approximators in solving traffic and transportation problems. This paper presents an analysis of the results achieved using fuzzy logic to model complex traffic and transportation processes.
