APPLICATIONS OF INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS IN TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS

Unluckily, in the recent literature the number of papers on the application of intelIigent systems, especially fuzzy sets, have been decreasing considerably. The potential for those applications, however, has not diminished at alI. On the contrary, the more complex applications become and the more decision support systems rely on human knowledge and experience, the more relevant and attractive become intelligent techniques. For publications, however, very often the problem arises, that those applications are not suited for publication because they are too complex for anyone paper. In this paper it will be attempted to describe important applications in traffic control , in container terminal management and in ground control of airports and give further indications on other possible applications.
