EXPERT SYSTEMS IN TRANSPORT. PART 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO EXPERT SYSTEMS

This report describes what expert systems are. It has been written to introduce the concepts involved, and to some extent the techniques, for those who have no previous acquaintance with such systems, but who are concerned with establishing what such systems might have to offer and what is involved in developing them, in their field of application. Chapter 1 states the details of the project its background, aims and status. Chapter 2 introduces the subjects of artificial intelligence and expert systems, explaining their aims and outlining their pitfalls for the novice researcher. Chapter 3 looks in more detail at the construction of expert systems. Chapter 4 examines a selection of current expert systems and expert system shells. The report stems from a project designed to assess the potential for establishing expert systems in the transport field. (Author/TRRL)
