DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE FAULT DETECTION

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOBILE FAULT DETECTION

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To develop an expert system on car maintenance and troubleshooting that is capable of assisting car owners in dealing with their cars problems and troubleshooting them whenever time is limited and the human experts, also known as mechanics is not available at that very time. The development of the system surely has some significance to humans especially those who own a car and to the system developer as well. Among others, the system will perform the following functions:

• It will conclude its diagnosis based on answers of the users to specific question posed by the system to the user.
• It provides facility in order to take the user opinion on the following: does the use agree with the system’s diagnosis? Does the user disagree with the system’s diagnosis?
• It provides explanation, picture, why and fact facility.
• It stores the facts and the conclusion of the inference of the system and the facts and the conclusion of the inference of the user, for each case in data base.
• It processes the data base in order to extract rules, which complete the knowledge base.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The proposed system can help inexperienced mechanics or drivers in diagnosing the fault of the car.

 In addition, the system has the following benefits:

• Expert systems help in the improvement of productivity: Having this system will enable mechanics to do more work in less time.
• Expert system reduces the need for skilled mechanics: The repairs of a car require a high level of expertise. With this system, inexperienced mechanics can be guided to find the fault.
• Expert systems capture the knowledge of company experts who someday will retire, resign or die.
• Expert systems train newly lived employees to solve problem the way experienced professionals do.
• Expert system are not vulnerable to problems such as fatigue, emotion and overwork, all of which plaque human experts.
• Expert systems place expert knowledge into machine readable form, where it can be summoned at any time.
•  Expert systems give consistent result.
• Expert systems can complete some tasks quicker them a human.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The expert system may contain certain limits and flaws, as it is only a prototype. We commonly know that a car has many parts on its body and even in the body itself. However, the system will only deal with problems that are normally or commonly found in the engine part of the car as the system is just a prototype, which means the function will be expanded through time. The system will also deal with only cars produced from the year 2000 till date.
