Softcomputing approach to discrete transport system analysis

The paper presents an approach to complex analysis of sophisticated Discrete Transport Systems (DTS) using softcomputing. The proposed methodology can efficiently substitute the classical approach especially since dependability parameters of the system are mostly approximated by experts instead of classical sources of data. On the other hand we can try to combine reliability and functional aspects. The paper describes the multicriteria scientific field of the Discrete Transport Systems and shows the way how the softcomputing can be in use in the sensible way. Moreover, results of the numerical experiment performed on a test case scenario related to the reliability and functional aspects using proposed methodology are given. The approach allows reducing the problem of assumptions of reliability distributions and – this way – seems to be very interesting for real systems management and tuning.
