Abstract: |
In a site with one set of blast furnaces that must
feed two steel mills separated by over 13 kilometers, alloca- tion of hot pig
iron is a complex subject owing to the long cycle times and the large number
of parameters in- volved in the decision making. Simulation of the trans-
portation appears as an ideal solution to tackle this com- plexity. However,
allocation priorities are stategic issues that change in time, as does, if
less often, the available railway layout. A
simulation based decision support system has been developed to integrate in
the current torpedo tracking application that works around these difficulties
by gen- erating the simulations dynamically from three sources: a database
model of the transportation network, the dy- namic database that holds the
current state of the tor- pedo wagons (through the tracking application), and
a shared, updatable knowledge base made up of several sets of rules and
priorities, and conditional paths of rule- set selection. The knowledge base
is now being built on expert knowledge and current strategies, and will pro-
vide a framework for user-accessible update. |
