This system is connected to personal computers equipped on ships on-line and collects the result and plan information changing constantly in real-time, and enables the nationwide sections concerned to see the information at the same time. An expert system technology was applied to develop the subsystem providing transportation schedules by ship, which hitherto has been planned based on the judgement of a single person in charge. Although this subsystem is very large, it can make schedules for one day in about 20 min, and has began to produce a good effect. |
