Abstract:
Analytical network process (ANP) is usually used for solving the complex multifactor problems when search for the rational decisions is made in stationary operating conditions with a large resource of time. In this paper, we propose the idea of development the ANP as applied to operational dispatching. The developed method is based on reducing the amount of information that is introduced into the decision support system via man-machine dialogue in the real time. Much of the data on the state of infrastructure and its adjustments comes from neighboring information systems. These data are used to specify the weights of the links between the elements presented in the ANP-model of the object. This algorithm simplifies the process of filling the estimated supermatrix and saves a lot of time. Also, simplified variants of interface are proposed to serve the operative data entering through the dialogue of operator with the DSS. The paper provides an example of applying the modified ANP in solving the problem of railway traffic dispatching.
