Fuzzy Variable Set Model to Evaluation of Highway Traffic Safety
Publication: ICLEM 2010: Logistics For Sustained Economic Development: Infrastructure, Information, Integration
Abstract
A model for comprehensive evaluation of highway traffic safety was established based on variable fuzzy set method combined with the index system. In the model the membership degrees and relative membership functions belonging to the ranking ranges of all indicators involved in highway traffic safety were determined. The model was used to evaluate the highway traffic safety, and the comparison of the evaluation results using this proposed method with other methods shows that this model relies on simple calculations to enhance confidence in the results with high credibility. This example enriches the field of study and has widespread value for potential application.
