Goal and impact

The purpose of this algorithm is to determine real-time water flow rates at RWZI Amsterdam-West. These water flow rates are required by the AI control agent.

Considerations

Benefits:

  • Increase understanding of the process

Human intervention

  • The algorithm does not make decisions.
  • The training data is carefully assessed by its own experts.

Risk management

  • The algorithm is bounded by the experts
  • The operation of the algorithm is judged by a human being

Operations

Data

  • Sensor data on water flows and valve positions
