Integrated system of Drainage and Reliability of his Elements

conference paper

English

Technical and technological levels of the problem solution are determined by the current state of knowledge in many branches of science. Contrary to the past, when the stress was put on the technical level of individual parts of the sewer system, at present the urban drainage system is considered to be a controllable composite, the control of which is aimed at the minimisation of the effects of released pollution on the receiving waters at minimum costs. The goal of the project is to interconnect research programmes concerning urban drainage at VUT Brno and CVUT Prague. The research results of both institutes form a basis for the formulation of an expert system, tat enable to increase the reliability of the urban drainage systems and to reduce risks related to the release of pollutants to the environment. The expert system will not only provide the means for the optimisation of investment costs of the integrated drainage systems of urban catchments in the framework of regional planning, but it will also serve as a support instrument for mathematical simulation models dealing with control of water and pollution fluxes in the sewer network. It menas that the requirements on the system have to be described with a multi-criterial function with several parameters (e.g. volume, reliability of the network, construction state) with regard to the environmental compatibility and non-stationarity of the system. The heuristic optimisation of the multi-criterial function will be based on genetic algorithms that belong to the newest and most promising evolution algorithms.
