Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical interaction between roadway surface and vehicle tires has been widely investigated. Roadway conditions, traffic characteristics, environmental factors, and driver habits all play important roles in skid resistance and safety characteristics of pavements. It is difficult, however, to use quantitative statements to describe these uncertain factors, and the poor correlation between pavement performance and these factors makes it impossible to predict skid-resistance properties with regression analysis. To evaluate pavement skid resistance, a new methodology has been introduced which uses fuzzy-sets mathematics. The skid performance of pavement sections can be grouped by fuzzy cluster analysis of the data obtained from sand-patch and British pendulum number testing, as well as skid numbers measured on test sections with blank and ribbed test tires. A computer model which predicts locations that have a high accident potential can be established from the fuzzy cluster results. These results can also be used to predict seasonal variations in pavement skid resistance. The principle discussed here can be valuable in all types of pavement-condition evaluations. This paper presents the state of the art in using fuzzy cluster analysis for evaluating pavement skid resistance, first describing the objectives and the scope of possible applications of this methodology, and then giving the calculation procedures and the results of a case study using this technique. Recommendations for future pavement-skid-resistance research are outlined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probabilists and fuzzy enthusiasts tend to disagree about which philosophy is best and they rarely work together. As a result, textbooks usually suggest only one of these methods for problem solving, but not both. This book is an exception. The authors, investigators from both fields, have combined their talents to provide a practical guide showing that both fuzzy logic and probability have their place in the world of problem solving. They work together with mutual benefit for both disciplines, providing scientists and engineers with examples of and insight into the best tool for solving problems involving uncertainty. Fuzzy Logic and Probability Applications: Bridging the Gap makes an honest effort to show both the shortcomings and benefits of each technique, and even demonstrates useful combinations of the two. It provides clear descriptions of both fuzzy logic and probability, as well as the theoretical background, examples, and applications from both fields, making it a useful hands-on workbook for members of both camps. It contains enough theory and references to fundamental work to provide firm ground for both engineers and scientists at the undergraduate level and above. Readers should have a familiarity with mathematics through calculus.

Book excerpt: What is fuzzy logic?--a system of concepts and methods for exploring modes of reasoning that are approximate rather than exact. While the engineering community has appreciated the advances in understanding using fuzzy logic for quite some time, fuzzy logic's impact in non-engineering disciplines is only now being recognized. The authors of Fuzzy Logic in Geology attend to this growing interest in the subject and introduce the use of fuzzy set theory in a style geoscientists can understand. This is followed by individual chapters on topics relevant to earth scientists: sediment modeling, fracture detection, reservoir characterization, clustering in geophysical data analysis, ground water movement, and time series analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics of Fuzzy Sets: Logic, Topology and Measure Theory is a major attempt to provide much-needed coherence for the mathematics of fuzzy sets. Much of this book is new material required to standardize this mathematics, making this volume a reference tool with broad appeal as well as a platform for future research. Fourteen chapters are organized into three parts: mathematical logic and foundations (Chapters 1-2), general topology (Chapters 3-10), and measure and probability theory (Chapters 11-14). Chapter 1 deals with non-classical logics and their syntactic and semantic foundations. Chapter 2 details the lattice-theoretic foundations of image and preimage powerset operators. Chapters 3 and 4 lay down the axiomatic and categorical foundations of general topology using lattice-valued mappings as a fundamental tool. Chapter 3 focuses on the fixed-basis case, including a convergence theory demonstrating the utility of the underlying axioms. Chapter 4 focuses on the more general variable-basis case, providing a categorical unification of locales, fixed-basis topological spaces, and variable-basis compactifications. Chapter 5 relates lattice-valued topologies to probabilistic topological spaces and fuzzy neighborhood spaces. Chapter 6 investigates the important role of separation axioms in lattice-valued topology from the perspective of space embedding and mapping extension problems, while Chapter 7 examines separation axioms from the perspective of Stone-Cech-compactification and Stone-representation theorems. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce the most important concepts and properties of uniformities, including the covering and entourage approaches and the basic theory of precompact or complete [0,1]-valued uniform spaces. Chapter 10 sets out the algebraic, topological, and uniform structures of the fundamentally important fuzzy real line and fuzzy unit interval. Chapter 11 lays the foundations of generalized measure theory and representation by Markov kernels. Chapter 12 develops the important theory of conditioning operators with applications to measure-free conditioning. Chapter 13 presents elements of pseudo-analysis with applications to the Hamilton–Jacobi equation and optimization problems. Chapter 14 surveys briefly the fundamentals of fuzzy random variables which are [0,1]-valued interpretations of random sets.

Book excerpt: In each case the results are compared to the alternative, competing analytic procedures, such as latent class analysis, and are shown to fit the data better, provide substantively more meaningful results, and generate excellent predictions of external variables not used to form the basic dimensions of the model.
