In this paper, we present a navigation control algorithm for mobile robots that move in environments having static and moving obstacles. The algorithm includes a global and a local path-planning algorithm that uses $D^*$ search algorithm, a fuzzy logic for determining the immediate level of danger due to collision, and a fuzzy logic for evaluating the required wheel velocities of the mobile robot. To apply the $D^*$ search algorithm, the two-dimensional space that the robot moves in is decomposed into small rectangular cells. The algorithm is verified by performing simulations using the Python programming language as well as by using the dynamic equations for a two-wheeled mobile robot. The simulation results show that the algorithm can be used to move the robot successfully to reach the goal position, while avoiding moving and unknown static obstacles.

The increasing complexity of the socio-economic environments makes it less and less possible for single decision-maker to consider all relevant aspects of problem. Therefore are, many organizations employ groups in decision making. In this paper, we present a multiperson decision making method using fuzzy logic with linguistic quantifier when each of group members specifies imprecise judgments possibly both on performance evaluations of alternatives with respect to the multiperson criteria and on the criteria. Inexact or vague preferences have appeared in the decision making literatures with a view to relaxing the burdens of preference specifications imposed to the decision-makers and thus taking into account the vagueness of human judgments. Allowing for the types of imprecise judgments in the model, however, makes more difficult a clear selection of alternative(s) that a group wants to make. So, further interactions with the decision-makers may proceed to the extent to compensate for the initial comforts of preference specifications. These interaction may not however guarantee the selection of the best alternative to implement. To circumvent this deadlock situation, we present a procedure for obtaining a satisfying solution by the use of linguistic quantifier guided aggregation which implies fuzzy majority. This is an approach to combine a prescriptive decision method via a mathematical programming and a well-established approximate solution method to aggregate multiple objects.

Conventional MCDA techniques have been used in the field of water resources in the past. A GIS can offer an effective spatial data-handling tool that can enhance water resources modeling through interfaces with sophisticated models. However, GIS systems have a limited capability as far as the analysis of the value structure is concerned. The MCDA techniques provide the tools for aggregating the geographical data and the decision maker's preferences into a one-dimensional value for analyzing alternative decisions. In other words, the MCDA allows multiple criteria to be used in deciding upon the best alternatives. The combination of GIS and MCDA capabilities is of critical importance in spatial multi-criteria analysis. The advantage of having spatial data is that it allows the consideration of the unique characteristics at every point. The purpose of this study is to identify, review, and evaluate the performance of a number of conventional MCDA techniques for integration with GIS. Even though there are a number of techniques which have been applied in many fields, this study will only consider the techniques that have been applied in floodplain decision-making problems. Two different methods for multi-criteria evaluation were selected to be integrated with GIS. These two algorithms are Compromise Programming (CP), Spatial Compromise Programming (SCP). The target region for a demonstration application of the methodology was the Suyoung River Basin in Korea.

Reverse logistics network design issues have been popularly discussed in recent years. However, few papers in the past literature have been dedicated to incentive effect on return quantity of used products. The purpose of this study is to formulate a dynamic nonlinear programming model of reverse logistics network design with the aim of managing the used products allocation by coordinating the collection centers and recovery facilities to warrant economic efficiency. In the optimization model, a fuzzy approach is applied to interpret the relationship between the rate of return and the suggested incentives. Due to funding constraints in setting up the collection centers, this work considers these centers as multi-capacity levels, which can be opened or closed at different periods. In view of the fact that the problem is known as NP-hard, we propose a heuristic method based on tabu search procedure to solve the presented model. Finally, several dominance properties of optimal solutions are demonstrated in comparison with the results of a state-of-the-art commercial solver.

This paper introduces an evolutionary nonlinear regression based compensation technique for the short-range prediction of wind speed using AWS(Automatic Weather Station) data. Development of an efficient MOS(Model Output Statistics) is necessary to correct systematic errors of the model, but a linear regression based MOS is hard to manage an irregular nature of weather prediction. In order to solve the problem, a nonlinear and symbolic regression method using GP(Genetic Programming) is suggested for a development of MOS wind forecast guidance. Also FCM(Fuzzy C-Means) clustering is adopted to mitigate bias of wind speed data. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the estimation by a GP based nonlinear MOS for 3 days prediction of wind speed in South Korean regions. This method is then compared to the UM model and has shown superior results. Data for 2007-2009, 2011 is used for training, and 2012 is used for testing.

Recently most parking control systems provide customers with various services, but most of the services are just the extension of parking spaces, automatic parking control system and so on. It is essential to use the satisfaction degree as the extent that customer are satisfied with parking control system to improve the quality of the system services and diversify the system services. The degree of satisfaction is different from customer to customer in same condition and can be represented as linguistic variables. In this paper, we present therefore a technique that quantify how much customer are satisfied with parking control system and fuzzy inference system architecture as a solution that can help us to make a efficient decision for these parking problems. In this architecture, inference engine using fuzzy logic compares context data with the rules in the fuzzy rule-based system, gets the sub-results, aggregates them and defuzzifies the aggregated result using MATLAB application programming to obtain crisp value. Fuzzy inference system architecture presented in this paper, can be used as a efficient method to analyze the satisfaction degree which is represented as fuzzy linguistic variables by human emotion. And it can be used to improve the satisfaction degree of not only parking system but also other service systems of various domains.

For last several decades with the achievement of fast economic development, the electrical fires occupies over 30 percent of total fire incidents almost every year in Korea and not decreased in spite of much times and efforts. Electrical fire cause diagnostics are to confirm a cause for the fire by examination of fire scene. Cause diagnosis methods haven't been systematized yet, because of limits for available information, investigator's biased knowledge, etc. Therefore, in order to assist the investigators and to find out the exact causes of electrical fires, required is research for an electrical fire cause diagnosis system using DB, computer programming and some mathematical tools. The electrical fire cause diagnosis system has two functions of DB and electrical fire cause diagnosis. The cause diagnosis is conducted by a case-based reasoning on a case base and rule-based reasoning on a rule base. For the diagnosis with high reliability, a mixed reasoning approach of a case-based reasoning and fuzzy rule-based reasoning has been adopted. The electrical fire cause diagnosis system proposes the electrical fire causes inferred from the diagnosis processes, and possibility of the causes as well.

본 논문은 퍼지 망(Fuzzy Network)외 개념을 도입하여 한국어 단어의 품사 태깅에 관한 새로운 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 한국어 단어의 품사 태깅이란 여러 개의 품사를 가진 단어가 한국어 문장 속에 나타났을 때, 단어의 품사를 올바르게 결정하는 것이다. 여기서 가장 기본적인 문제는 여러 가지의 태그를 포함하고 있는 단어들의 나열을 어떻게 퍼지 망으로 표현하는가 하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 한국어 품사를 태깅할 때 사용한 퍼지 망을 정점(vertex)으로 단어 품사의 퍼지 집합을 표현하고, 연결선(edge)으로 품사와 품사간의 퍼지관계를 표현한다. 일단 퍼지망으로 표현되면, 퍼지망에서의 최적의 경로를 찾는 문제와 동일하게 풀 수 있다. 일반적으로 퍼지 망에서 최적의 경로를 찾는 문제는 dynamic programming 방법에 의해서 효과적으로 해결할 수 있다. 약 2만 6천개의 형태소를 실험 데이타로 하여 실험한 결과, 전체적인 품사 태깅 정확률은 95.6%로 비교적 좋은 결과를 보였다. 앞으로 좀 더 세분화된 태그 집합과 정확히 태깅된 실험 데이타로부터 추출된 소속함수를 이용한다면, 더 좋은 결과를 기대할 수 있다.

최근 들어 그 심각성을 더하고 있는 이상기후 현상으로 가용 수자원의 변동이 커지고 있으며, 이에 따라 수자원의 효율적인 운영이 요구되고 있다. 그러나 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 미래 유입량의 불확실성의 고려하고, 홍수 조절용량의 확보하면서도, 용수공급을 위한 저수량을 확보하고, 수력 발전을 해야 하는 복잡한 상황을 모두 고려하여야한다. 이러한 복잡한 시스템에서 하나의 최적화 기법으로는 모든 고려사항들을 만족시키는 최적해를 찾는 것은 사실상 불가능에 가깝다. 그러므로 저수지 운영의 최적화를 위한 연구에서 한 가지 이상의 기법을 조합하는 기법을 사용하게 되었다. 이러한 기법은 각 기법의 장점을 취하고 각각의 한계를 극복하기 위해 주로 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 운영 최적화를 모의하기 위하여 대청댐에서의 저수위, 유입량, 용수이용량 등을 고려하여 방류량의 예측을 동적 계획법(Dynamic Programming Model)으로부터 동적 신경망(Dynamic Neural Network Model)과 적응 퍼지 제어기법(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System)을 개발하여 실제 방류량과 세 가지 최적화 방법에 의한 결과를 비교 검정하였다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 동적 신경망과 적응 퍼지 제어기법에 의한 최적화 모의가 동적 계획법에 비해 시스템의 구축이 쉽고 유연하다. 둘째, 퍼지추론의 Membership 함수의 구축에 따라 단시간에 많은 양의 강우가 발생하는 국지성 강우에 대해서도 최적 방류량을 예측할 수 있다. 셋째, 저수지 운영 과거자료의 부족과 불확실성을 해결하면, 보다 용이하고 양호한 예측결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
