This paper introduces an innovative approach for addressing FCP in aircraft maintenance, combining ABSS and FRNN method. Experimental results demonstrate the success of the method in reducing maintenance costs and delayed flights.
This paper addresses the problem of Fault Classification and Prediction (FCP) without sufficient data in aircraft maintenance. An innovative approach based on Agent-Based Simulation System (ABSS) and the Fuzzy-Rough Nearest Neighbour (FRNN) method is proposed. To do so, a framework for integrating the FRNN approach into ABSS is firstly provided. The concept and architecture models of FRNN-ABSS are then used to describe the FRNN-ABSS system. Subsequently, random and sequence strategies are designed for the FCP of the engine. An algorithm for integrating the FRNN method into ABSS is also developed to automate FCP. Finally, the experiments analysing the impact of different strategies on maintenance costs and service level have been conducted. The results show that the approach proposed has achieved success for random and sequence strategies: 9.3% and 2.5% of maintenance costs have been saved; 4.17% and 12.5% of delayed flights have been changed into on-time flights.
