Soft Computing Applications in Traffic and Transport Systems: A Review

  • Conference paper
Soft Computing: Methodologies and Applications

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 32))

Summary

The use of soft computing methodologies in the field of traffic and transport systems is of particular interest to researchers and practitioners due to their ability to handle quantitative and qualitative measures, and to efficiently solve problems which involve complexity, imprecision and uncertainty. This paper provides a survey of soft computing applications. A classification scheme for soft computing applications is defined. The current frameworks and some future directions of soft computing applications to traffic and transport systems are discussed.
