Implementation of Intelligent Decision Support System in India - A Study (With Reference to Railway Empty Wagon Distribution)

Railway in India is a very complicated and large scale network system. In 2002 the Ministry of Railway of India made a decision to develop a R&D project of Intelligent Decision Support System for the Railway Empty Wagons Distribution plan (REWD-IDSS). This paper, combining the practical R&D project of REWDIDSS, adopts technological principles and methods of IDSS to develop analysis and research of detail on overall design, implementation method, and systematic prototype development, etc. It develops a goal system of tertiary management mode in which are included the Ministry of Railways, Railway Administration and Railway branch Administration, puts forward the principles proposed which obey decision-making process and performance law in real vacant adjusts plan management coordinate with supported decision-making in overall process of vacant adjusts etc, and selects a structure with parts of problem processing subsystem, database subsystem, model subsystem, knowledge subsystem, and human-computer interaction subsystem, etc.
