An assessment of risk in industrial and urban environments is essential in the prevention of accident and in the analysis of situations which are hazardous to public health and safety. The risk imposed by a particular hazard increases with the likelihood of occurence of the event, the exposure and the possible consequence of that event. In a traditional approach, the calculation of a quantitative value of risk is usually based on an assignment of numerical values of each of the risk factors. Then the product of the values of likelihood, exposure and consequences called risk score is derived. However vagueness and imprecision in mathematical quantification of risk are equated with fuzziness rather than randomness. In this paper, a fuzzy set theoretic approach to risk analysis is proposed as an alternative to the techniques currently used in the area of systems safety. Then the concept of risk evaluation using linguistic representation of the likelihood, exposure and consequences is introduced. A risk assessment model using approximate reasoning technique based on fuzzy logic is presented to drive fuzzy values of risk and numerical example for risk analysis is also presented to illustrate the results.

For a private toll road project, deciding optimal toll is an important element of economic analysis for the project and a challengeable work. In this study, the optimal toll of a private toll bridge, Geoga Bridge which connects Geoje Island of Gyeongnam Province and Gaduk Island of Busan was estimated using Stated Preference (SP) data. The SP data were collected by interviewing the passenger car drivers travelling on the National Road 14. They are latent users of the bridge. A fuzzy approximate reasoning model to estimate the optimal toll was built using the SP data. For the input variable of the model, the saved travel time and toll level were employed and the diversion rate to the bridge was employed for the output variable. The diversion rates for each toll level and saved travel time were estimated and the toll level which had maximized the toll revenue was decided as optimal toll. The optimal toll was tested by comparing with the average pay rate of passenger car drivers. Since the optimal toll for passenger cars at one hour saving, the 6,250 won is about 50 % of the average pay rate of passenger car divers, the toll was evaluated not to be high. The technique employed in this study may be used for the estimation of the optimal tolls for other kinds of vehicles.

본 연구에서는 인간의 판단과 유산한 구조를 갖는 퍼지근사추론모형(FARM)을 구축하여 교통수단 선택형태에 적용하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 근사추론모형의 이론적 배경을 살펴보고 버스와 지하철간의 수단선택 모형을 구축하였다. 입력변수로 버스와 지하철간의 총통행시간의 차이와 총통행비용의 차이를 선정하였으며 출력변수로 버스이용확률을 사용하였다. 각 변수에 대한 퍼지집합은 각각 5개씩의 언어적 인 표현으로 구성하였으며, 규칙은 총 25개로 설정하였다, 구축된모형의 현실적 타당성을 검토하기 위해 서 실제 조사자료와 비교하였다. 분석결과 본 연구에서 구축된 퍼지근사추론모형이 통행자들의 수단선택 행태를 현실적으로 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

In this work, we present a method to deal with the interval valued decision making systems. First, we propose a new type of equality measure based on the Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator. The proposed equality measure has a structure to render the extreme values of the measure by choosing a suitable weighting vector of the OWA operator. From this property, we derive a bidirectional fuzzy inference network which can be applied for the decisionmaking systems requiring the inverval valued decisions.

A novel inverse kinematics solution based on the back propagation neural network (NN) for redundant manipulators is developed for online obstacles avoidance. A laser transducer at the end-effctor is used for online planning the trajectory. Since the inverse kinematics in the present problem has infinite number of joint angle vectors, a fuzzy reasoning system is designed to generate an approximate value for that vector. This vector is fed into the NN as a hint input vector rather than as a training vector to guide the output of the NN. Simulations are implemented on both three- and four-link redundant planar manipulators to show the effectiveness of the proposed position control system.

In this paper we propose a hierarchical classification algorithm based on rough membership function which can reason a new object approximately. We use the fuzzy reasoning method that substitutes fuzzy membership value for linguistic uncertainty and reason approximately based on the composition of membership values of conditional sttributes Here we use the rough membership function instead of the fuzzy membership function It can reduce the process that the fuzzy algorithm using fuzzy membership function produces fuzzy rules In addition, we transform the information system to the understandable minimal decision information system In order to do we, study the discretization of continuous valued attributes and propose the discretization algorithm based on the rough membership function and the entropy of the information theory The test shows a good partition that produce the smaller decision system We experimented the IRIS data etc. using our proposed algorithm The experimental results with IRIS data shows 96%~98% rate of classification.

Most of expert systems,as a rule-based system,should be convenient to modify a rule and to insert a new rule, which is called modularity of rules. When we think correlated evidences in expert systems. conventional systems are too local to recognize the common origin of the information, and they would update the belief of the hypothesis as if it were supposed by independence soureces. In this paper to overcome such drawbacks we propose Fuzzy Belief Network which is based on the Beysian Network which provide the modulartiy between rules. To build Fuzzy Belief Network, we define nodes and links and propose algorithms for data fusion in individual node and for propagation belief value obtained as a result of data fusion.

In this paper, we introduce Baldwin's approximate reasoning with fuzzy logic and some truth function mappings usually used in Baldwin's method. And we introduce some assessment criteria for approximate reasonings and we define some truth function mappings which satisfy more criteria than those which are already known.

This paper presents a new FDI scheme based on dynamic fuzzy model(DFM) for the nonlinear system. The dynamic behavior of a nonlinear system is represented by a set of local linear models. The parameters of the DFM are identified in on-line and aggregated to generate a residual vector by the approximate reasoning. The neural network classifer learns the relationship between the residual vector and fault type and used both for the detection and isolation of process faults We apply the proposed FDI scheme to the FDI system design for a two-tank system and show the usefulness of the proposed scheme.

The purpose of study is development of a fuzzy controller which independent of a computer and its software for fuzzy control of servo system. This paper describes a method of approximate reasoning for fuzzy control of servo system, based on decomposition of $\alpha$-level fuzzy sets, It is propose that fuzzy logic algorithm is a body from fuzzy inference to defuzzificaion in cases where the output variable u directly is generated PWM. The effectiveness of quantified $\alpha$-levels on input/output characteristics of fuzzy controller and output response of DC servo system is investigated. It is concluded that $\alpha$-cut 4 levels give a sufficient result for fuzzy control performance of DC servo system. The experimental results shows that the proposed hardware method is effective for practical applications of DC servo system.
