P. Tamizhchelvi . Projecting Safety Measures in Fireworks Factories in Sivakasi using Fuzzy based Approach. International Journal of Computer Applications. 147, 12 ( Aug 2016), 22-27. DOI=10.5120/ijca2016911272
Fuzzy logic is an approach to computing based on "degrees of truth" rather than the usual "true or false" (1 or 0) boolean logic on which the modern computer is based. Fuzzy logic can handle problems with imprecise and incomplete data, and it can model nonlinear functions of arbitrary complexity. A fuzzy set is any set that allows its members to have different grades of membership in the interval [0,1]. Sivakasi is the major hub for the entire country’s fireworks. 50-75 workers die every year in fire accidents in this industry and many here have chronic respiratory problems. To help these people to work in a safety environment is the objective of this project. As the situation of accidents has lot of ambiguity, fuzzy logic was selected. Various parameters that lead to accidents were analysed and Fuzzy logic, one of the soft computing techniques is applied to find out the parameters where safety needs to be tightened were obtained.
