Research paper thumbnail of Fuzzy Risk Assessment for Airport Strategic Planning

Airports investors must perform strategic moves based on calculated risks before taking investment decisions. This communication puts forward a new approach for airport investment risk assessment. The approach takes explicitly into account the degree of uncertainty in activity levels prediction and proposes milestones for the different stages of the project for minimizing risk. Uncertainty is represented through fuzzy dual theory and risk management is performed using dynamic programming.

The complexity of the considered problem, as well as, operational considerations lead to propose an on-line decentralized management structure where the criticality of each aircraft demand for service is evaluated using a fuzzy formalism. Then after detailing the proposed collaborative scheme between ground handling fleet managers, airlines and airport authorities, a heuristic approach is proposed to solve each fleet assignment problem. A case study considering a large airport is discussed.

The classical entropy maximization approach for trip distribution prediction in transportation networks is reviewed and a new formulation is proposed using the fuzzy dual formalism. This leads to the consideration of a new mathematical programming problem involving the primal and dual parts of the trip distribution probabilities. The complexity of this problem is analyzed and a solution method is proposed. The new approach for trip distribution prediction is illustrated in the case of a small size transportation network and finally its main interests and difficulties are discussed.

A solução em muitos casos foi o ensino remoto para manter a regularidade do ensino. O Instituto Alberto Luiz Coimbra de Pós-Graduação e Investigação em Engenharia (COPPE) da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) foi uma das instituições que adotou essa medida. O Instituto acreditava que os estudantes preferiam estar a salvo de epidemias, uma vez que o seu equilíbrio emocional seria preservado enquanto prosseguiam os seus estudos. Analisando este cenário, foi possível avaliar a qualidade do ensino remoto e como essa mudança afetou os estudantes na dimensão intelectual. A Lógica Fuzzy possibilita a análise de modelos dinâmicos aplicados à realidade e desta forma contribuiu para a avaliação da Qualidade de Vida dos estudantes de ensino remoto, por meio da coleta de dados a partir de um questionário aplicado aos estudantes de uma turma do Programa de Engenharia de Produção da C...

However, there are conditions that favor the loss of this knowledge in organizations, as for example, the natural aging of workers and consequently the retirement and staff turnover. Then, it becomes important for organization to seek the preservation these knowledge. For a successful implementation of Knowledge Management (KM), it is important to identify the barriers or critical factors that affect the success of the KM process. From the perspective of the nuclear organizations, no systematic framework exists on characterizing a set of critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing KM. Furthermore, the CSFs assessment deals with uncertainty and imprecision of human judgments. In this context, this paper presents a decision support method using CSFs and logic fuzzy to assess the KM in nuclear organizations. Fuzzy theory is essentially used in mapping q...

The model was based on the evaluation of local alternatives, representing
regional potentialities, so as to fulfill demands of economic projects.
After defining demand profiles in terms of their technological coefficients,
the degree of importance of factors is defined so as to represent
the productive activity. The method can detect a surplus of supply without
the restriction of the distance of classical algebra, defining a hierarchy
of location alternatives. In COPPE-Cosenza Model, the distance between
factors is measured in terms of the difference between grades of memberships
of the same factors belonging to two or more sets under comparison. The
required factors are classified under the following linguistic variables:
Critical (CR); Conditioning (C); Little Conditioning (LC); and Irrelevant
(I). And the alternatives can assume the following linguistic variables:
Excellent (Ex), Good (G), Regular (R), Weak (W), Empty (Em), Zero (Z) and
Inexistent (In). The model also provides flexibility, allowing different
aggregation rules to be performed and defined by the Decision Maker. Such feature is considered in this package, allowing the user to define other aggregation matrices, since it considers the same linguistic variables mentioned.
