fic research. They hope to apply fuzzy logic to detect traffic incidents on diamond interchanges. This is part of a major research endeavor toward the development of intelligent and scalable traffic management systems conducted at Intelligent Vehicle Highway System Research Center. The Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) program is supposed to design, develop, test, evaluate, document, deliver, and maintain an aircraft maintenance troubleshooting skills tutors. This project will utilize the state-of-the-art cognitive science and software development techniques. It is being conducted for the US Air Force Human Systems Program office.Fresno Industrial Technology professor Matthew Yen is exploring agricultural applications of a new technology that mimics human thought patterns in controlling industrial equipment operations. Professor Yen's research is focused on the application of fuzzy logic in the control of equipment such as heaters, motors, pumps, valves and sprinklers used in the food processing industry and other automated agricultural operations. In order to automate these processes, temperature, motor speed, liquid level, pressure, humidity, flow rate and other variables must be constantly monitored and adjusted according to prescribed schedule.Some more real life applications of fuzzy logic have proven to be beneficial:-Tokio Electric Power: uses FL for automatic control of dam gates for hydroelectric power-Hirota, Fuji Electric, Toshiba, and Omron: use it for simplified control of robots-Omron: uses FL for automated camera aiming for the telecast of sporting events-Hitachi: substitution of an expert for the assessment of stock exchange activities-Mitsubishi: preventing unwanted temperature fluctuations in air-conditioning systems-Nissan: Efficient and stable control of car engines and better cruise control-Aptronix: Improved efficiency and optimized function of industrial control applications-Canon - positioning of wa...
