Abstract

This paper examines the relationship and establishes the equivalence between a class of dynamic fuzzy models, called Fuzzy State Models (FSM), and recently introduced Markov Chain models with fuzzy encoding. The equivalence between the two models leads to a methodology for learning FSMs from data and a systematic way for model based design of rule-based fuzzy controllers. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a case study of vehicle adaptive cruise control system in which an FSM is identified from simulation data and a fuzzy feedback controller is generated by exploiting the Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP).

The research of Ilya Kolmanovsky was supported in part by the National Science Foundation Award Number ECCS 1404814 to the University of Michigan.
