To improve the intelligence and accuracy of the Situation Assessment (SA) in complex scenes, this work develops an improved fuzzy deep neural network approach to the situation assessment for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)s. Firstly, this work normalizes the scene data based on time series and use the normalized data as the input for an improved fuzzy deep neural network. Secondly, adaptive momentum and Elastic SGD (Elastic Stochastic Gradient Descent) are introduced into the training process of the neural network, to improve the learning performance. Lastly, in the real-time situation assessment task for multiple UAVs, conventional methods often bring inaccurate results for the situation assessment because these methods don’t consider the fuzziness of task situations. This work uses an improved fuzzy deep neural network to calculate the results of situation assessment and normalizes these results. Then, the degree of trust of the current result, relative to each situation label, is calculated with the normalized results using fuzzy logic. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms competitors.

Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) are regression models used to predict the expected number of collisions as a function of various traffic and geometric characteristics. One of the integral components in developing SPFs is the availability of accurate exposure factors, that is, annual average daily traffic (AADT). However, AADTs are not often available for minor roads at rural intersections. This study aims to develop a robust AADT estimation model using a deep neural network. A total of 1,350 rural four-legged, stop-controlled intersections from the Province of Alberta, Canada, were used to train the neural network. The results of the deep neural network model were compared with the traditional estimation method, which uses linear regression. The results indicated that the deep neural network model improved the estimation of minor roads’ AADT by 35% when compared with the traditional method. Furthermore, SPFs developed using linear regression resulted in models with statistically insignificant AADTs on minor roads. Conversely, the SPF developed using the neural network provided a better fit to the data with both AADTs on minor and major roads being statistically significant variables. The findings indicated that the proposed model could enhance the predictive power of the SPF and therefore improve the decision-making process since SPFs are used in all parts of the safety management process.
