DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR VENTILATION OPERATORS BASED ON FUZZY METHODS APPLIED TO IDENTIFICATION AND PROCESSING OF GAS-DYNAMIC IMAGES

Izabella V. Lokshina - Richard C. Insinga

   This paper discusses a decision support system (DSS) based on fuzzy methods that are applied to the identification and processing of gas-dynamic images received during monitoring and control processes of underground coal mine atmospheres. The DSS supports the ventilation operator's decisions under complex and unanticipated gas-dynamic situations on the working face.

Keywords: decision support system, fuzzy methods, monitoring and control processes in underground facilities
