Abstract
Quite often, during long-distance pipe leakage, critical decisions
have to be made quickly and with as much certainty as possible using
conflicting and uncertain sources of information. Key to providing quality
decision options is an appropriate method of combining, or fusing, these
heterogeneous evidence sources. Since the development of belief function
theory introduced by Shafer in the 1970s many combination rules have
been proposed in the literature because in highly conflicting situations the
emblematic Dempster’s rule generates counter-intuitive and unacceptable
results in practical applications. In this work, the Dezert-Smarandache theory
(DSmT) will be explored, in particular the PCR5 and PCR6 rules of
proportional conflict redistribution, and a simple long-distance pipe leakage
monitoring method is developed to help in the development of a method for
more complicated situations.
