A TRAIN TRAFFIC SIMULATION SYSTEM PERMITTING APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING
N Tomi, Nahoko SATOH · Quarterly Report of RTRI · 1990
A train traffic simulation system to which users themselves can add their own knowledge is introduced. The simulation system accepts sentences describing knowledge about train traffic rearrangement, transforms them into programs of rule-based language, then adds them to itself. Knowledge addition can be done in natural language. Thus, users can easily upgrade the simulation system into an intelligent one by adding their own knowldege which is specific to their own circumstances. An algorithm to determine priorities among mutually contradictory pieces of knowledge is also proposed.
