Prediction of Driver’s Workload by Means of Fuzzy Techniques by Orazio Pellegrino

“…This phenomenon, generally classified under the name of workload, was treated with great depth in literature but, probably, sufficiently detailed methodology has not yet been proposed for making forecasts on this variable along the road. The difficulty of preparing a reliable model can be explained by some of the characteristics of the road environment: many uncertain variables, including the human factor, choosing the most appropriate analytical method, lack of appropriate databases. …”

Modelling and Analysis of Automobile Vibration System Based on Fuzzy Theory under Different Road Excitation Information by Xue-wen Chen, Yue Zhou

“…The controller’s parameters are adjusted by a fuzzy increment controller with self-modifying parameters functions, which adopts the deviation and its rate of change of the body’s vertical vibration velocity and the desired value in the position of the front and rear suspension as the input variables based on 49 fuzzy control rules. Adopting Simulink, the fuzzy increment controller is validated under different road excitation, such as the white noise input with four-wheel correlation in time-domain, the sinusoidal input, and the pulse input of C-grade road surface. …”
