Fuzzy Logic Project - Elevator Waiting Floor Determination

Project Description

This project was prepared as part of the Introduction to Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Networks course. The aim of the project is to determine the floor where an elevator should wait by evaluating variables such as traffic type and the number of passengers waiting on each floor using a fuzzy logic model.

Technologies Used

• Java: Used for application development.
• Eclipse IDE: Coding and development environment.
• JfuzzyLogic Library: Used to create and execute the fuzzy logic model.

Project Features

1. User inputs traffic type (upward-heavy, downward-heavy, balanced) and the number of passengers.
2. Inputs are sent to an FCL file prepared using JfuzzyLogic.
3. The FCL file determines the elevator waiting floor using fuzzy logic rules.
4. The output is displayed on the application screen.

Required Files

• Code Files: Java codes are included in the Eclipse project.
• FCL File: Contains fuzzy model rules for JfuzzyLogic.
• Report: Includes the theoretical background of the project, membership functions used, and detailed explanations about inputs/outputs.
