Representation and Use of Knowledge for the Reconfiguration of the Mechanical Transport System

The problem of controlling the reconfiguration of the mechanical transport system is considered with the aim of minimizing the total transportation costs. The features of decision making about the choice of the reconfiguration option in the conditions of the lack of information on the dynamics of the state of the external environment are analyzed. The approach to decision-making based on the use of experience is described. The distinctive feature of the approach is the presentation of knowledge about the precedents of reconfiguration in the form of images. The model of the image is given. The principle of obtaining logical conclusions on the basis of image analysis is described. The operations of comparing and transforming images are discussed. The features of the implementation of the transformation operator in the mechanical transport system are considered.
