Abstract :
We present the consolidation of ADMFS (aid decision-making fuzzy system), which can be used to carry out decision-making in an urban bus network by using fuzzy sets theory, and takes into account the knowledge given by experts and operators of the urban bus network to solve the problem of connections between buses. We present a system which can be used to carry out decision-making and resolve some problems of connections regulation where there are several buses in the same platform simultaneously. Several problems of decision-making in various transport environments present fuzzy knowledge, and fuzzy reasoning, because a lot of knowledge in the real situation concerning decision-making is uncertain. This uncertain data can be modelled very well by fuzzy sets theory. One of the main problems for public transport users is the connection between buses. These connections sometimes take place in bad conditions, caused by unexpected incidents, which involve delays of the buses.
