System of Systems Meta-Architecture Approach to Improve Legacy Metrorails for Enhanced Customer Experience

Abstract

As technology surges forward, some Metrorail networks have become outdated customer-facing systems in need of updates. To help enhance overall traveler experience, the following Key Performance Attributes (KPAs) need improvement: predictability, accessibility, reliability, affordability, and scalability. By maximizing these KPAs, a legacy Metrorail system could see increased ridership, thus potentially increasing overall revenue generated by the system. In order to assess the overall fitness measure of the System of Systems (SoS), a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) developed along with a set of feasible, participating systems and KPA-defining equations. A simple Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to find the optimized meta-architecture. Using the methodologies described in this paper, an optimized SoS meta-architecture for improving a legacy Metrorail system was generated and assessed.
