So, one challenge is to provide support for thetunnel construction based on thison-sitedata .Here, an MWD based methodology to support tunnel con-struction is introduced: a Rock Mass Rating (RMR) estimationis provided by an MWD rocky based characterization of theexcavation front and expert knowledge [1].Well-known machine learning (ML) and computational intel-ligence (CI) techniques are used. In addition, a collectible and“interpretable”base of knowledge is obtained, linking MWDcharacterized excavation fronts and RMR.The results from a real tunnel case show a good and serviceableperformance: the accuracy of the RMR estimations is high,Errortest∼=3%, using a generated knowledge base of 15 fuzzyrules, 3 linguistic variables and 3 linguistic terms.This proposal is, however, is open to new algorithms toreinforce its performance PB F.
