Expert System for Tractor Cab Man-Machine Interface Evaluation

The expert system for tractor cab man-machine interface evaluation was developed using Visual C++ and CLIPS that is one of the expert system tools on the re-development platform of CATIA. The system structure and functions were presented. The knowledge expression, reason mechanism and the design and build method of knowledge base were put forward. The expert system can be used to evaluate the man-machine interface of tractor cab quickly and find the shortage of design. Finally, some improvement suggestions were given by the system. Experiments were carried out for a tractor model. The results showed that the expert system could evaluate the tractor model man-machine interface effectively.
