This research demonstrates the application of expert system technology to automate the aircraft load selection process performed when transporting hazardous cargo. The resulting computer program is an expert system named HAZARD. This system incorporates the regulations governing hazardous cargo compatibility with the heuristics used by experts in loadplanning operations. The impetus to develop such a system is the January 1993 conversion of regulation guidelines for hazardous cargo classification and management in Air Force Regulation 71-4, to a universal international standard. The Cargo Operations Division of Headquarters Air Mobility Command at Scott AFB, was concerned that this change in procedures and nomenclature may cause confusion to loadplanners. Therefore, it is the intention of this research to reduce the impact of this change to regulations through the development of an automated computer product designed for both the experienced and novice loadplanners. The use of this system will improve the accuracy and timeliness of the hazardous cargo compatibility determination process.... Expert systems, Cargo handling, Hazardous materials, Air transportation.
