A variety of methods for ranking fuzzy sets has been suggested. Generally, these methods fall under two main categories: a fuzzy-real sets mapping, a dominance relation of one fuzzy set over another. The original approach proposed in this paper belongs to the second category, as the ranking is based on the degree of inclusion in the MIN of two...

Nowadays, management of information systems within the transport industry for effective and efficient decision making requires the use of latest technological development such real-time monitoring and traffic simulation. This will lead to the development of methods and algorithms, for instance, of fleet management, routing within a specified...

Transportation engineering, and especially of Dangerous Goods (DG), is one of the areas in which technological development is crucial. Logistic control systems, routing and scheduling algorithms, supply chain management have been applied in this aspect so as to improve the cost-effectiveness ratio and to reduce risks. Unfortunately, most of...

On a frequency, depending on their size, small celestial bodies enter into the Earth atmosphere and collide with our planet. On a daily basis, the size is likely to be about 20 cm, while for monthly events the largest it may be is about 1 m. The last significant witnessed event occurred in 1908 in the Siberian area of the Tunguska. The forest...

This chapter shines the light on the foundations of geoprospective. The concept was born in the mid-2000s from the convergence of geographical researches which had in common to anticipate change in the long term and to evaluate its spatial impacts using simulations, with the aim of producing scientific knowledge that would at the same time be...

International audience

In parallel to the action of States and international organizations, the insurance sector is one that contributes to the resilience of human societies against the occurrence of natural disasters such as weather events, seismic ones and other ones. The action principle of this sector is characterized by at least three mechanisms: prevention for...

Le projet CASSANDRE, soutenu par la Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, a permis d'étudier l'impact des forçages climatiques et de l'action anthropique (artificialisation du sol) sur la biodiversité des Alpes-Maritimes jusqu'en 2100. Pour cela, un modèle de caractérisation de la biodiversité des Alpes-Maritimes a été mis au point pour montrer la...

In this chapter, the opportunity is given to three persons in charge of the planification and territorial and environmental prospective departments of major government bodies—ministries and the European Commission—to express their views. We wished to hear the opinion of these practitioners on the geoprospective approach. How is the spatial...
