Due to the high rate changes in the handling of cars, the use of an auxiliary identification process to design efficient controllers is of importance. Many identification algorithms have been proposed in the literature, which generally performs well under normal situations, but does not show acceptable performance in uncertain conditions. In this article, due to the nature of the neuro-fuzzy networks in identifying and predicting uncertain conditions, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy identification algorithm is proposed to steer vehicles at the uncertain slippery condition of roads. A set of data for three well-known manoeuvres of vehicle dynamics at conventional conditions was collected to train the algorithm using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system of MATLAB. Using back propagation of error as the learning algorithm, the parameters of the algorithm were modified regarding uncertain conditions. Making an analogy, the performance of the proposed identification scheme was compared to the untrained fuzzy one. In regular situations, the results were almost identical, but in uncertain ones such as slippery roads, the performance of the proposed neuro-fuzzy algorithm was much better.

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model has been developed to predict frost heaving in seasonal frozen regions. The structure of ANFIS is initialized by the subtractive clustering algorithm. The hybrid learning algorithm consisting of back-propagation and least-squares estimation is used to adjust parameters of ANFIS and automatically produce fuzzy rules. The data of frost heaving test obtained from a literature are used to train and check the system. The predicted results show that the proposed model outperforms the back propagation neural network (BPNN) in terms of computational speed, forecast errors, and efficiency. The ANFIS based model proves to be an effective approach to achieve both high accuracy and less computational complexity for predicting frost heaving.

Prediction of littoral drift with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System The amount of sand moving parallel to a coastline forms a prerequisite for many harbor design projects. Such information is currently obtained through various empirical formulae. Despite so many works in the past, an accurate and reliable estimation of the rate of sand drift has still remained a problem. It is a non-linear process and can be described by chaotic time-series. The current study addresses this issue through the use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). ANFIS is about taking an initial fuzzy inference system (FIS) and tuning it with a back propagation algorithm based on the collection of input-output data. ANFIS was developed to predict the sand drift from a variety of causative variables. The structure and algorithm of ANFIS for predicting the rate of sand drift is described. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System was validated by confirming its consistency with a database of specified physical process.

The evaluation of equipment support training is an effective way to improve training efficiency. The main influencing factors of equipment support training are analyzed. Adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model structure is established and the hybrid-learning algorithm to solve the established model by applying back-propagation and least mean squares procedure is investigated. Then the evaluation model of equipment support training level based on ANFIS is constructed. The training level consistent with the actual training level is achieved by training the proposed model using training data samples, which verifies the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method. Simulation comparing analysis using the proposed method and BP neutral network is conducted respectively. The superiority of the proposed method is verified by simulation results, which provides an effective method for equipment support training evaluation.

We propose a sequential Meta-Cognitive learning algorithm for Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (McFIS) to efficiently recognize human actions from video sequence. Optical flow information between two consecutive image planes can represent actions hierarchically from local pixel level to global object level, and hence are used to describe the human action in McFIS classifier. McFIS classifier and its sequential learning algorithm is developed based on the principles of self-regulation observed in human meta-cognition. McFIS decides on what-to-learn, when-to-learn and how-to-learn based on the knowledge stored in the classifier and the information contained in the new training samples. The sequential learning algorithm of McFIS is controlled and monitored by the meta-cognitive components which uses class-specific, knowledge based criteria along with self-regulatory thresholds to decide on one of the following strategies: (i) Sample deletion (ii) Sample learning and (iii) Sample reserve. Performance of proposed McFIS based human action recognition system is evaluated using benchmark Weizmann and KTH video sequences. The simulation results are compared with well known SVM classifier and also with state-of-the-art action recognition results reported in the literature. The results clearly indicates McFIS action recognition system achieves better performances with minimal computational effort.

Tuberculosis is a contiguous disease that is causing death both in developed and developing countries. The main aim of this research work was to a developed an intelligent system for diagnosing Tuberculosis using adaptive neuro-fuzzy methodology. Eleven symptoms of tuberculosis which are persistent cough for more than two weeks, cough with blood, weight loss, tiredness, chest pain, fever, difficulty in breathing, loss of appetite, lymph node enlargement, history of TB contact and night Sweat are assigned with weights which are categorize best on severity level as mild, moderate, severe and very severe, yes and no which serve as inputs to the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). MATLAB 7.0 is used to implement this experiment, Trapezoidal Membership function was used, back propagation algorithm was used for training and testing, the error obtain is 0.41777 at epoch 2 which shows that the training performance is exactly 99.58223 and testing performance of the system are 99.58197 at epoch 2.

Trans Sarbagita is a public transportation services people at Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Tabanan. Trans Sarbagita is aimed to resolve a problems caused by accretion volume of vehicles in Bali. This study conducted to forecast the number of Trans Sarbagita passengers in 2013 using ANFIS. The ANFIS system composed by five layers where each layers has a different function and its divide in two phases, i.e. forward and backward phases. The ANFIS uses a hybrid learning algorithm which is a combination of Least Squares Estimator (LSE) on forwards phases and Error Backpropagation (EBP) on the backward phases. The results show, ANFIS with six inputs with M.F of  Pi  produces smallest error, compared to seven and eight input and M.F gauss and generalizedbell. Forecast of Trans Sarbagita passenger numbers in 2013 have to fluctuated every day and the average of passenger’s Trans Sarbagita for a day is 1627 passengers with MSE equal to 10210 and MAPE is 4.01%.

The main goal of this study is to estimate the pullout forces by developing various modelling technique like feedforward neural network (FFNN), radial basis functions neural networks (RBNN), general regression neural network (GRNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). A hybrid learning algorithm, including a back-propagation and least square estimation, is utilized to train ANFIS in MATLAB (software). Accordingly, 432 samples have been applied, through which 300 samples have been considered as training dataset with 132 ones for testing dataset. All results have been analyzed by ANFIS, in which the reliability has been confirmed through the comparing of the results. Consequently, regarding FFNN, RBNN, GRNN, and ANFIS, statistical indexes of coefficient of determination (R2), variance account for (VAF) and root mean square error (RMSE) in the values of (0.957, 0.968, 0.939, 0.902, 0.998), (95.677, 96.814, 93.884, 90.131, 97.442) and (2.176, 1.608, 3.001, 4.39, 0.058) have been achieved for training datasets and the values of (0.951, 0.913, 0.729, 0.685 and 0.995), (95.04, 91.13, 72.745, 66.228, 96.247) and (2.433, 4.032, 8.005, 10.188 and 1.252) are for testing datasets indicating a satisfied reliability of ANFIS in estimating of pullout behavior of belled piles.
