SOME APPLICATIONS OF FUZZY LOGIC IN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING

Abstract

Fuzzy logic is able to express any natural phenomenon especially related to human decision making efficiently using linguistic variables, which is not promising using any mathematical expression. In this paper details of fuzzy sets and fuzzy inference are presented. Fuzzy logic proved its wide applications in many areas. A review of important applications of fuzzy logic in transportation engineering (involving traffic flow modeling, transportation planning, and traffic control mechanisms and so on) has been presented in this paper, from which it is observed that fuzzy logic is an important tool for understanding and solving various problems related to transportation engineering.
