Abstract Congestion control is an inherent challenge of V2X (Vehicle to Everything) technologies. Due to the use of a broadcasting mechanism, channel congestion becomes severe with the increase in vehicle density. The researchers suggested reducing the frequency of packet dissemination to relieve congestion, which caused a rise in road driving risk. Obviously, high-risk vehicles should be able to send messages timely to alarm surrounding vehicles. Therefore, packet dissemination frequency should be set according to the corresponding vehicle’s risk level, which is hard to evaluate. In this paper, a two-stage fuzzy inference model is constructed to evaluate More >

Abstract This paper introduces fuzzy N-bipolar soft (FN-BS) sets, a novel mathematical framework designed to enhance multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes under uncertainty. The study addresses a significant limitation in existing models by unifying fuzzy logic, the consideration of bipolarity, and the ability to evaluate attributes on a multinary scale. The specific contributions of the FN-BS framework include: (1) a formal definition and set-theoretic foundation, (2) the development of two innovative algorithms for solving decision-making (DM) problems, and (3) a comparative analysis demonstrating its superiority over established models. The proposed framework is applied to a real-world case More >

Abstract Accurate daily suspended sediment load (SSL) prediction is essential for sustainable water resource management, sediment control, and environmental planning. However, SSL prediction is highly complex due to its nonlinear and dynamic nature, making traditional empirical models inadequate. This study proposes a novel hybrid approach, integrating the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) with the Gradient-Based Optimizer (GBO), to enhance SSL forecasting accuracy. The research compares the performance of ANFIS-GBO with three alternative models: standard ANFIS, ANFIS with Particle Swarm Optimization (ANFIS-PSO), and ANFIS with Grey Wolf Optimization (ANFIS-GWO). Historical SSL and streamflow data from the Bailong… More >

Abstract In robotics and human-robot interaction, a robot’s capacity to express and react correctly to human emotions is essential. A significant aspect of the capability involves controlling the robotic facial skin actuators in a way that resonates with human emotions. This research focuses on human anthropometric theories to design and control robotic facial actuators, addressing the limitations of existing approaches in expressing emotions naturally and accurately. The facial landmarks are extracted to determine the anthropometric indicators for designing the robot head and is employed to the displacement of these points to calculate emotional values using Fuzzy… More >

Abstract In the background of the low-carbon transformation of the energy structure, the problem of operational uncertainty caused by the high proportion of renewable energy sources and diverse loads in the integrated energy systems (IES) is becoming increasingly obvious. In this case, to promote the low-carbon operation of IES and renewable energy consumption, and to improve the IES anti-interference ability, this paper proposes an IES scheduling strategy that considers CCS-P2G and concentrating solar power (CSP) station. Firstly, CSP station, gas hydrogen doping mode and variable hydrogen doping ratio mode are applied to IES, and combined with… More >

Abstract Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) rely on data aggregation to streamline routing operations by merging information at intermediate nodes before transmitting it to the sink. However, many existing data aggregation techniques are designed exclusively for static networks and fail to reflect the dynamic nature of underwater environments. Additionally, conventional multi-hop data gathering techniques often lead to energy depletion problems near the sink, commonly known as the energy hole issue. Moreover, cluster-based aggregation methods face significant challenges such as cluster head (CH) failures and collisions within clusters that degrade overall network performance. To address these limitations,… More >

Abstract Feature selection methods rooted in rough sets confront two notable limitations: their high computational complexity and sensitivity to noise, rendering them impractical for managing large-scale and noisy datasets. The primary issue stems from these methods’ undue reliance on all samples. To overcome these challenges, we introduce the concept of cross-similarity grounded in a robust fuzzy relation and design a rapid and robust feature selection algorithm. Firstly, we construct a robust fuzzy relation by introducing a truncation parameter. Then, based on this fuzzy relation, we propose the concept of cross-similarity, which emphasizes the sample-to-sample similarity relations… More >

Abstract This research explores the use of Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor (F-KNN) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for predicting heart stroke incidents, focusing on the impact of feature selection methods, specifically Chi-Square and Best First Search (BFS). The study demonstrates that BFS significantly enhances the performance of both classifiers. With BFS preprocessing, the ANN model achieved an impressive accuracy of 97.5%, precision and recall of 97.5%, and an Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) area of 97.9%, outperforming the Chi-Square-based ANN, which recorded an accuracy of 91.4%. Similarly, the F-KNN model with BFS achieved an accuracy of 96.3%, precision More >

Abstract Human Activity Recognition (HAR) in drone-captured videos has become popular because of the interest in various fields such as video surveillance, sports analysis, and human-robot interaction. However, recognizing actions from such videos poses the following challenges: variations of human motion, the complexity of backdrops, motion blurs, occlusions, and restricted camera angles. This research presents a human activity recognition system to address these challenges by working with drones’ red-green-blue (RGB) videos. The first step in the proposed system involves partitioning videos into frames and then using bilateral filtering to improve the quality of object foregrounds while… More >

Abstract In the context of advancing towards dual carbon goals, numerous factories are actively engaging in energy efficiency upgrades and transformations. To accurately pinpoint energy efficiency bottlenecks within factories and prioritize renovation sequences, it is crucial to conduct comprehensive evaluations of the energy performance across various workshops. Therefore, this paper proposes an evaluation model for workshop energy efficiency based on the drive-state-response (DSR) framework combined with the fuzzy BORDA method. Firstly, an in-depth analysis of the relationships between different energy efficiency indicators was conducted. Based on the DSR model, evaluation criteria were selected from three dimensions—drive… More >
