Neuro-Fuzzy and Neural Network Systems for Air Quality Control [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In order to define efficient air quality plans, Regional Authorities need suitable tools to evaluate both the impact of emission reduction strategies on pollution indexes and the costs of such emission reductions. The air quality control can be formalized as a two-objective nonlinear mathematical problem, integrating source-receptor models and the estimate of emission reduction costs. Both aspects present several complex elements. In particular the source-receptor models cannot be implemented through deterministic modelling systems, that would bring to a computationally unfeasible mathematical problem. In this paper we suggest to identify source-receptor statistical models (neural network and neuro-fuzzy) processing the simulations of a deterministic multi-phase modelling system (GAMES). The methodology has been applied to ozone and PM10 concentrations in Northern Italy. The results show that, despite a large advantage in terms of computational costs, the selected source-receptor models are able to accurately reproduce the simulation of the 3D modelling system.
