Abstract :
Creation of Intelligent Decision Support System for Selection and Matching of Tractor and Farm Machinery in Operation of Agricultural Mechanized Rasoul Loghmanpour zarini1 1-Phd,Agricultural College of Sari, Technical and Vocational University, Mazandaran, Iran Received:29 December 2017 Accept:5 January2018 Abstract Choosing the proper implements and matching them with a Tractor is important role in energy efficiency,economical use of resources and more efficient agricultural operations in different stages. In this study, a Decision Support System was developed by visual basic 6.0 programming. The system is capable to select a proper tractor for implements by the evaluation criteria that included drawbar power, PTO power, speed domain and engine speed. Also, the system is capable to select proper implements for a tractor by the evaluation criteria that included implements width, operation speed, field efficeincy, draft per unit of implement width, soil type and size and condition of farm. Developed software has a database consist of different tpes of tractors and implements that available in Iran and operator can add, delete or edit the data. Using of this software prevent of energy dissipation, destruction of capital and soil compaction. In addition, this system improves the performance of existing resources in agricultural mechanization sector.
