The article presents the practice of using systems engineering methods in the development of a universal locomotive frame. The work is aimed at developing the optimal design of the locomotive frame, which will simplify the production process of the unit and save on design and technological preparation of production. The advantages of applying a systematic approach to working with requirements, identifying the required functions and forming the structural structure of the product are described. Keywords: locomotive, frame, life cycle, systems engineering, requirement, function, design.

The article presents the practice of using system methods in the development of a universal four-axle locomotive platform. The work is aimed at developing the optimal design of the frame and bodies of the locomotive, the choice of power and traction components to simplify the design process, reduce development time and reduce the cost of the product. The advantages of applying a systematic approach to working with requirements, determining the necessary functions and forming the structure of the product are described. Keywords: locomotive, frame, life cycle, system engineering, requirements, modularity, universal platform, shortening the development time.

When developing any information system, an extremely important stage of its life cycle is the design or modeling stage. Among the existing approaches to the design of information systems, such as, for example, the “classic” development of UML diagrams using a unified modeling language, the model-oriented systems engineering approach, focused on building models, is gaining popularity. Purpose of the study. Consider modeling a system for monitoring and analyzing electronic media information using the methods of model-oriented system engineering. Research methods and tools. It is proposed to use the toolkit of the system-oriented design methodology, focused on the creation and use of models of different degrees of detail at different stages of design. The application of models of hierarchical decomposition of entities is presented on the example of typical essential characteristics of artificial systems: requirements for the system, system functions, system components (subsystems), work on creating a system. A regular method for constructing and consistently expanding architectural models of products is described, on the basis of which models of hierarchical taxonomy of functional requirements for the system, key functions, and components of the system core are built. Based on hierarchical taxonomy models, a model for matching requirements and functions and a model for matching functions and system components are built. Results. The developed models clearly show the relationship of system components, requirements, functions and modules with each other. The approach used makes it possible to detail the presentation of the system based on its decomposition into subsystems and on the basis of taking into account the essential characteristics. All this makes it possible to streamline the sequence of stages of creating a system and decompose them into separate stages of work. Conclusion. The results obtained in the course of the conducted research make it possible to proceed to the next stage of the life cycle of the information system being developed – its software development.

Technical systems of tomorrow will go beyond current traditional mechatronics designs by incorporating inherent intelligence. This adds high demands on the product development process, such as the need for a comprehensive understanding of the system and consideration of the full product life-cycle. Systems engineering (SE) is an approach that has a potential to fulfill these requirements. However, until now it could not be applied through a wide range of different industries and segments, especially in small and medium sized enterprises. This paper discusses different obstacles for the use of SE and presents a concept for a systems engineering guideline to face these challenges. The aim of the systems engineering guideline is to enable a target-oriented application of systems engineering methods and tools. The objective is to overcome the barriers of introduction of SE for enterprises. It links a design process to methods and tools in the field of systems engineering.

The article presents an example of application of system approach methods to create a method of designing the installation of internal combustion engines on locomotives. The work is directed on development of the universal technique, allowing to reduce design terms as much as possible and to exclude errors arising at this process. Advantages of creation of the structured process with use of engineering of requirements and creation of the structurally functional scheme of a final product are shown. Keywords: locomotive, systems engineering, requirement, function, stakeholder, design, subsystem, interfaces.
