... was to develop a public lighting maintenance management system based on fuzzy logic that guarantees maximum energy efficiency and is economically feasible. Design/methodology/approach A preliminary study was carried out on the complaints due to failures of public lighting for three years in the municipality...

..., dependency among criteria, and improvement in computational run time have been used. In most cases, expert opinion is essential to determine the process, and also the data used in criteria evaluation are usually uncertain. Thus, uncertainty modeling or its consideration is necessary, and Fuzzy logic methods...

... importance than “environment” and “structures.” Originality/value – The present work focussed on a new definition of a criticality ranking model to assign a maintenance policy to each component based on workers’ know-how and on their status. The approach is conceived by the application of a fuzzy logic...

...Pratesh Jayaswal; S.N. Verma; A.K. Wadhwani Purpose The objective of this paper is to provide a brief review of recent developments in the area of applications of ANN, Fuzzy Logic, and Wavelet Transform in fault diagnosis. The purpose of this work is to provide an approach for maintenance...

... between “as good as new” and “as bad as old”. Design/methodology/approach The approach is based on fuzzy logic and simulation‐based optimization. Fuzzy logic is preferred over crisp logic because it is relatively easy to implement in this situation considering that the human factor is hardly...

... The results show how the fuzzy logic approach translates vague, ambiguous, qualitative and imprecise information into numerical/quantitative terms, which helps to identify the most informative and efficient maintenance strategy. From the computed performance index values for each maintenance strategy...
