Application of fuzzy theory for identifying the required availability of an autonomous localization unit in European Train Control System

Abstract

OATAO is an open access repository that collects the work of some Toulouse researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible.

Risk Assessment in the Design of Railroad Control Command and Signaling Devices Using Fuzzy Sets

“…The article explains how fuzzy sets can be used to quantify uncertainty in safety and reliability analysis and highlights the advantages and limitations of using fuzzy sets in these fields. The application of fuzzy set theory in terms of risk and safety has also been presented in articles on civil engineering [35,36], multi-criteria analysis processes [37], the ERTMS railway system [38], and even land expropriation [39].…”

“…Therefore, this article proposes the use of fuzzy sets. The great advantage of the fuzzy set theory is that it allows imprecise concepts to be described in mathematical language and manipulated and decisions to be made [38,40]. An analysis of data collected on the basis of the results of surveys and workshop meetings, which are input data for the use of fuzzy sets, was carried out.…”

Survey of Performance Evaluation Standardization and Research Methods on GNSS‐Based Localization for Railways

“…In Ref. [67], the authors show that how the fuzzy theory can be adopted to evaluate the availability of GNSS-based train localization.…”
