Propuesta de prototipo de un sistema experto para el diagnóstico mecánico y eléctrico de automóviles ; Proposal for a prototype of an expert system for th e mechanical and electrical diagnosis of automobiles

The vehicle is an essential resource in today's society to carry out work, social, leisure activities, emergencies, etc., where its maintenance is essential for its proper functioning. However, in many situations we encounter unforeseen events with the car that can be avoided if anomalies can be detected in time, or in any case have a preliminary diagnosis of the problem with the car, before going to a specialist and avoiding large repair costs. This article presents the proposal of a prototype of an expert system to detect common mechanical or electrical failures in a car. This prototype is designed for users who are generally unaware of the operation or maintenance that their car needs. The work was based on a descriptive investigation identifying a problem and proposing a solution to the identified problem. For the construction of the prototype, different tools that adjusted to the problem were evaluated, in this sense the VisiRule tool was selected. VisiRule has advantages over other tools such as its ease of representing the problem and its accelerated strategy for prototyping. In this first stage of the project, a first prototype of the expert system that covers the general and common problems on electromechanical failures in a car will be presented. This paper describes in detail the construction of the prototype, the applied methodology, the results and conclusions obtained. ; El vehículo es un recurso indispensable en la sociedad actual para llevar a cabo las actividades laborales, sociales, de ocio, emergencias, etc., donde su mantenimiento es fundamental para su funcionamiento correcto. Sin embargo, en muchas situaciones nos encontramos imprevistos con el automóvil que pueden ser evitados si se pueden detectar anomalías a tiempo, o en cualquier caso tener un diagnóstico preliminar del problema del automóvil, antes de recurrir a un especialista y evitar grandes costos de reparación.
