Abstract:

In this study, the aim was to grasp and lift an unknown object without causing any permanent change on its shape using a robotic hand. When people lift objects, they add extra force for safety above the minimum limit value of the grasp force. This extra force is expressed as the “safety margin” in the literature. In the conducted study, the safety margin is minimized and the grasp force was controlled. For this purpose, the safety margin performance of human beings for object grasping was measured by the developed system. The obtained data were assessed for a fuzzy logic controller (FLC), and the fuzzy safety margin derivation system (SMDS) was designed. In the literature, the safety margin rate was reported to vary between 10% and 40%. To be the basis for this study, in the experimental study conducted to measure the grip performance of humans, safety margin ratios ranging from 9% to 20% for different surface friction properties and different weights were obtained. As a result of performance tests performed in Matlab/Simulink environment of FLC presented in this study, safety margin ratios ranging from 8% to 21% for different surface friction properties and weights were obtained. It was observed that the results of the performance tests of the developed system were very close to the data of human performance. The results obtained demonstrate that the designed fuzzy SMDS can be used safely in the control of the grasp force for the precise grasping task of a robot hand.

Abstract:

A fuzzy controller design approach is developed in this research for the control problem of a ship’s dynamic path based on automatic identification system (AIS) data. Over the past few decades, the equipment of AISs has been widely applied and mandated on ships. Based on the advantages of AIS data, various valuable applications have been proposed to improve safety problems. However, most of the applications depend on the precise control of the ship’s dynamic behavior. Because of this reason, a fuzzy controller design approach is proposed based on the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy observer model in this research. Firstly, the ship’s dynamic behavior based on the discrete-time AIS data is estimated and represented by the mathematical model of the fuzzy observer. Based on the fuzzy observer model, a fuzzy controller design approach subject to variance constraint is developed to solve the problem of stochastic disturbance in estimation and control. In accordance with the different application aspects, this approach can not only be applied to improve the estimation performance of the fuzzy observer, but it can also be provided as a controller design scheme for the ship’s dynamic path using AISs data. Finally, simulation results of a group of real AIS data from Kaohsiung Port and the assumed Keelung Port AIS data are applied to verify the effectiveness of the designed fuzzy controller.

The reason for the use of such fuzzy numbers is also due to their realistic estimation. Hence, in order to obtain a more accurate estimate of each failure occurrence and overall system reliability analysis, we assume that the fundamental events of fault tree are in the form of Gaussian patchy fuzzy number on [0, 1], and then, by applying the fuzzy transmission average (TA) [F.

Applying such fuzzy operations and numbers will lead to a more realistic analysis of the reliability of the fuzzy system. Finally, the proposed model has been used for the lack of satisfaction of the University’s administrative and financial assistant.

Abstract:

How to use system analysis methods to identify the hazards in the industrialized process, working environment, and production management for complex industrial processes, such as thermal power plants, is one of the challenges in the systems engineering. A mathematical system safety assessment model is proposed for thermal power plants in this paper by integrating fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, set pair analysis, and system functionality analysis. In the basis of those, the key factors influencing the thermal power plant safety are analyzed. The influence factors are determined based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process. The connection degree among the factors is obtained by set pair analysis. The system safety preponderant function is constructed through system functionality analysis for inherence properties and nonlinear influence. The decision analysis system is developed by using active server page technology, web resource integration, and cross-platform capabilities for applications to the industrialized process. The availability of proposed safety assessment approach is verified by using an actual thermal power plant, which has improved the enforceability and predictability in enterprise safety assessment.

This paper presents a practical application of the probabilistic-fuzzy method for assessment of the safety of a ship manoeuvring in waterways. The method, based on probabilistic risk analysis and elements of fuzzy logic, takes into account situations of threatened navigational safety and situations when a navigator intuitively thinks that the safety of manoeuvring ship is threatened. The probability of grounding a ship manoeuvring in a waterway bend is determined by means of simulation method. Then, with the use of experts' knowledge and tools of fuzzy logic the probability of a dangerous situation is determined. Two different approaches are applied for the determination of that probability. The results are compared.

Abstract:

Perceptions, attitudes and anticipated behavior represent very useful information for decision and policy makers before they implement proposed new policies. Road safety is one of the most critical fields in the built environment. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, women started driving in 2019. There is a huge shortage of studies that investigate users’ attitudes and behavior, particularly women, in Saudi Arabia. It is very timely therefore, to assess their perceptions, attitudes and raise their awareness towards road safety. In this paper, the perceptions and attitudes towards road safety and relevant policies and programs were assessed and compared using two approaches: analytical and a fuzzy logic system. By means of a questionnaire, a total of 17 road safety policies, including engineering, enforcement programs, education programs and legislation programs, were presented to the participants and assessed. These policies were assessed from the viewpoint of Saudi women. The engineering policies included the use of road signs and marking, improving road network alignment, monitoring driver speed and engineering speed reduction measures. The assessment was in terms of the usefulness of the policies to reduce traffic accidents and improve road safety in Riyadh. A total of 375 participants were surveyed. Using a Likert scale response system to report the Saudi female participants’ opinions, two sets of indices were calibrated to evaluate the perceived usefulness and acceptability of the safety policies. A MATLAB simulation of a fuzzy logic system was utilized to assess, investigate and compare travel attitudes and perceptions of road safety. The results indicate overall encouragement for the safety programs and policies by the participants. Most of the support seems to be for the engineering program. The physical presence of traffic police was observed to have scored the highest. This is an interesting result that shows that enforcement policies are still perceived to be the most effective. In this category, the policy of enforcing speed limits showed high support, amongst the other policies. While a fuzzy logic analysis is typically used in hard engineering assessments and investigations, such as mechanical engineering and system design applications, the results obtained in this investigation show that the efficacy and adequacy of the proposed fuzzy logic control system in assessing attitudinal data was sufficiently good to be recommended for future research. The outcomes from both sets of approaches, the analytical and the fuzzy logic, showed comparable results, which also demonstrates the potential benefits of using the fuzzy system in many attitudinal and behavioral studies.

Abstract:

Abstract The return rate is considered here as a fuzzy probabilistic set. Then the expected return is obtained as a fuzzy subset in the real line. This result is a theoretical foundation for new investment strategies. All considered strategies result of comparison profit fuzzy index and limit value. In this way we obtain an imprecise investment recommendation. Financial equilibrium criteria are a special case of comparison of the profit index and the limit value. The following criteria are generalized here: the Sharpe's Ratio, the Jensen's Alpha and the Treynor's Ratio. Moreover, the safety-first criteria are generalized here for the fuzzy case. The Roy Criterion, the Kataoka Criterion and the Telser Criterion are also generalized. Obtained results show that proposed theory is useful for the investment applications.

Abstract:

In this work, a direct torque control (DTC) method for multi-machine systems is applied to electric vehicles (EVs). Initially, the DTC control method associated with the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is used for speed control, and management of the magnetic quantities is ensured by the variable master-slave control (VMSC). In order to increase the technical performance of the studied system, a DTC method has been associated with a fuzzy logic approach. These two control methods are applied to the traction chain of an electric vehicle to highlight its speed, precision, stability, and robustness metric during particular stress tests imposed on the wheel motor. The results obtained in MATLAB/Simulink software made feasible a comparison of two proposed methods based on their technical performances. It should be noted that the direct fuzzy logic torque control (DFTC) has better performance than the DTC associated with the MRAS system as a rise time reduction of 1.4%, an oscillation of torque, and flux amplitude of less than 9%, static steady-state error near zero. The DTFC control method responds favorably to electric vehicle traction chain systems by the nature of the comfort and safety provided.

Abstract:

Compared to the construction phase, the assessment of tunnel safety risks during the operational stage has not been thoroughly conducted, and the related research work is relatively lagging. To deepen the research and application of theoretical methods for assessing operational tunnel safety risks, and to improve the level of hazard investigation and prevention in long and large highway tunnels, this paper establishes a tunnel section assessment index system from four perspectives: tunnel condition, traffic characteristics, operational environment, and operational management. A combined qualitative and quantitative approach is employed, and a practical classification standard for the indicators is proposed. Based on the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy analysis theory, a new form of questionnaire survey, known as the expert system analysis method, is introduced to collect expert opinions. A novel approach for determining fuzzy numbers based on expert opinions is proposed. Consequently, a combined model for assessing operational tunnel safety risks in long and large highways is established by integrating the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the Set Pair Analysis (SPA). This model effectively combines subjective weighting with objective evaluation, thereby enhancing the accuracy of operational tunnel safety risk assessment for long and large highways. The safety risks of three long and large tunnels within the G1523 Yongguan Expressway were assessed using the evaluation method proposed in this paper. A comparative analysis was conducted between the results obtained using the proposed Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Set Pair Analysis (SPA) method and the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) evaluation. The results indicate that the operational tunnel safety risk assessment method based on FAHP and SPA exhibits greater rationality and accuracy compared to the traditional AHP approach.

Alternate Room-Pillar Mining Method with Ascending Backfill is now used in deep mining of Sanshandao Gold Mine. In mining practice of the metal mines, the widths of the room and pillar vary from 6m to 15m. In order to improve the production capacity and solve the deep mining safety problems, a fuzzy optimization model containing 11 evaluation indexes was built to choose the optimal structural parameters among 8m×8m, 8m×10m, 10m×10m, 10m×12m and 12m×12m. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation results prove that the optimal stope structural parameter is 10m×10m for safety and high efficiency mine operation.

Abstract:

Risk factor identification is the basis for risk assessment. To quantify the safety risks of unmanned vessels in inland rivers, through analysis of previous studies, the safety risk impact factor framework of unmanned vessels in inland rivers is established based on three aspects: the ship aspect, the environmental aspect, and the management and control aspect. Relying on Yangtze River, a fuzzy Bayesian network of the sailing safety risk of unmanned ships in inland rivers is constructed. The proposed safety risk model has considered different operational and environmental factors that affect shipping operations. Based on the fuzzy set theory, historical data, and expert judgments and on previous works are used to estimate the base value (prior values) of various risk factors. The case study assessed the safety risk probabilities of unmanned vessels in Yangtze River. By running uncertainty and sensitivity analyses of the model, a significant change in the likelihood of the occurrence of safety risk is identified, and suggests a dominant factor in risk causation. The research results can provide effective information for analyzing the current safety status for navigation systems of unmanned ships in inland rivers. The estimated safety risk provides early warning to take appropriate preventive and mitigative measures to enhance the overall safety of shipping operations.

Abstract:

The realization of short-term load forecasting is the basis of system planning and decision-making, and it is an important index to evaluate the safety and economy of power grid.In order to accurately predict the power load under the influence of many factors, a new short-term power load prediction method based on fuzzy support vector machine and similar daily linear extrapolation is proposed, which combinesthe method of fuzzy support vector machine and linear extrapolation of similar days. The method first selects similar days according to the effect of integrated weather and time on load. Then the fuzzy membership of the training sample is obtained by the normalization processing, and the daily maximum and minimum load is predicted by the fuzzy support vector machine. Finally, the load prediction value is obtained by combining the load trend curve obtained by the similar daily linear extrapolation method. and this method is feasible and effective for short-term forecasting of power load.

Abstract:

Risk decision matrix has widely been favoured by the researchers in the area of construction safety risk assessment. Although it provides the construction safety professionals with the final illustration of the risks magnitude, it suffers from major shortcomings, including inability to considering the importance of probability and severity, impaired analysis resulting from the use of raw numbers for ratings, and the limited range of classifications for assessing the risks. All these shortages give an impaired insight to the concerned parties, deteriorating the involved workers’ safety. As such, this paper aims to develop a novel Risk Assessment Model (RAM) through the integration of the Fuzzy Best Worst Method (FBWM) with the Interval-Valued Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (IVFTOPSIS). Based on the application of RAM to a real-life case study, it was observed that the developed RAM contributes to the body of construction safety risk assessment in five unique ways: (1) computing the importance of the two risk parameters (i.e. probability and severity) using fuzzy-reference-based comparisons, (2) obviating the needs for having statistical data, (3) prioritizing the identified risks using the combination of interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers with TOPSIS, (4) providing the safety analysts with wider ranges of classifications for conducting risk assessment, and (5) providing the safety professionals with appropriate evaluation strategies for controlling the analysed risks. The developed model in the study can be applied to any projects, giving a conclusive plan to the concerned safety professionals for adopting the further prudent mitigation measurements.

Abstract:

Fire monitoring in local urban markets within East Africa (EA) has been seriously neglected for a long time. This has culminated in a severe destruction of life and property worth millions. These rampant fires are attributed to electrical short circuits, fuel spillages, etc. Previous research proposes single smoke detectors. However, they are prone to false alarm rates and are inefficient. Also, satellite systems are expensive for developing countries. This paper presents a fuzzy model for early fire detection and control as symmetry’s core contribution to fuzzy systems design and application in computer and engineering sciences. We utilize a fuzzy logic technique to simulate the performance of the model using MATLAB, using six parameters: temperature, humidity, flame, CO, CO2 and O2 vis-à-vis the Estimated Fire Intensity Prediction (EFIP). Results show that, using fuzzy logic, a significant improvement in fire detection is observed with an overall accuracy rate of 95.83%. The paper further proposes an IoT-based fuzzy prediction model for early fire detection with a goal of minimizing extensive damage and promote intermediate fire suppression and control through true fire incidences. This solution provides for future public safety monitoring, and control of fire-related situations among the market community. Hence, fire safety monitoring is significant in providing future fire safety planning, control and management by putting in place appropriate fire safety laws, policies, bills and related fire safety practices or guidelines to be applied in public buildings, market centers and other public places.

Abstract:

The bridge-type bridge crane is a common lifting equipment used in modern factories and workshops. During the crane’s operation, the positioning of the trolley and the swing of the load can significantly impact the bridge crane’s safety and reliability. In this paper, we propose a variable universe fuzzy multi-parameter self-tuning PID (VUFMS-PID) control strategy for controlling the trolley’s movement. Our control strategy uses scaling factor variation to dynamically adjust the number of fuzzy control rules based on the system error and error rate of change. This approach improves control accuracy and enhances the crane’s stability and safety. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed control strategy outperforms both the fuzzy PID and traditional PID control strategies. Specifically, it reduces the crane trolley’s positioning time and the maximum swing angle of the load. Our control strategy exhibits good adaptive ability and robustness, which further improves the stability and safety of the bridge-type bridge crane operation.
