A fuzzy system for municipalities classification

A software system for municipality classification based on fuzzy rules is presented. The classification is made with the purpose of estimating and roughly planning the road maintenance needs in winter. The knowledge-based system is developed using Matlab and GIS technology. Mamdani and Sugeno type models for fuzzy reasoning have been implemented. Real data from an urban information system used in the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic are used and knowledge acquisition from experts has been performed. The application of the system is illustrated by the example of classifying municipalities in one of the eight regions in the Slovak Republic.
