Neural-network-based fuzzy logic navigation control for intelligent vehicles

الملخص EN

This paper proposes a Neural-Network-Based Fuzzy logic system for navigation control of intelligent vehicles.

First, the use of Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic to provide intelligent vehicles with more autonomy and intelligence is discussed.

Second, the system for the obstacle avoidance behavior is developed.

Fuzzy Logic improves Neural Networks (NN) obstacle avoidance approach by handling imprecision and rule-based approximate reasoning.

This system must make the vehicle able, after supervised learning, to achieve two tasks: 1- to make one’s way towards its target by a NN, and 2- to avoid static or dynamic obstacles by a Fuzzy NN capturing the behavior of a human expert.

Afterwards, two association phases between each task and the appropriate actions are carried out by Trial and Error learning and their coordination allows deciding the appropriate action.

Finally, the simulation results display the generalization and adaptation abilities of the system by testing it in new unexplored environments.
