Resumen

The development of a rule-based expert system (SCAR) for assisting electricians in diagnosing electrical faults in a shuttle car is discussed. Insight 2 +, a microcomputer-based expert-system development tool by Level Five Research, Inc. was used in creating the system. The program requires the user to specify the initial symptoms of the failed machine, and the most probable cause of failure is traced through the knowledge base, with the software requesting additional information, such as voltage or resistance measurements, as needed. A causal-reasoning approach, which was used to develop the production rules, is described. The organization, implementation, and limitations of the knowledge base are also presented, along with a brief discussion of the ongoing development of a new system, SCAR.2.
