The Aim of the article is to develop a motive power failure classification to enable substantiated definition of dependability requirements for motive power as a part of a railway transportation system, as well as for organizing systematic measures to ensure a required level of its dependability over the life cycle. Methods. The terminology of interstate dependability-related standards was analysed and the two classifications used by OJSC “RZD” for estimating the dependability of technical systems and motive power were compared. The dependability of railway transportation systems is studied using structural and logical and logical and probabilistic methods of dependability analysis, while railway lines are examined using the graph theory and the Markov chains. Results. An analysis of the existing failure classifications identified shortcomings that prevent the use of such classifications for studying the structural dependability of such railway transportation systems as motive power. A classification was developed that combines two failure classifications (“category-based” for the transportation process and technical systems and “type-based” for the motive power), but this time with new definitions. The proposed classification of the types of failures involves stricter definitions of the conditions and assumptions required for evaluating the dependability and technical condition of an item, which ensures correlation between the characteristics of motive power and its dependability throughout the life cycle in the context of the above tasks. The two classifications could be used simultaneously while researching structural problems of dependability using logical and probabilistic methods and Markov chains. The developed classification is included in the provisions of the draft interstate standard “Dependability of motive power. Procedure for the definition, calculation methods and supervision of dependability indicators throughout the life cycle” that is being prepared by JSC “VNIKTI” in accordance with the OJSC “RZD” research and development plan. Conclusion. The article’s findings will be useful to experts involved in the evaluation of motive power dependability.

The article suggests an approach to determine structural elements technical condition, based on the mathematical probabilistic apparatus of technical diagnostics. Diagnostics are performed using probabilistic methods of complex technical systems conditions recognition. Probabilistic parameters are calculated according to Bayes’s rule. The paper shows a diagnostics example of intermediate floor elements and systems in the old urban development building. Both the suggested method and information theory methods are used during diagnostics.

The article brings statistical data on the technical condition of the wagons-tanks of one of the largest enterprises of the Ukrainian chemical industry. The technique of monitoring the technical condition is explained, the classification of damage to wagons-tanks depending on the stages of the life cycle is proposed, the distribution of damage depending on the stages of the life cycle is shown. The information set forth in the article provides the basis for conducting technical diagnostics in order to justify the further term of maintenance

AbstractThis chapter describes the various approaches to analyse, quantify and evaluate uncertainty along the phases of the product life cycle. It is based on the previous chapters that introduce a consistent classification of uncertainty and a holistic approach to master the uncertainty of technical systems in mechanical engineering. Here, the following topics are presented: the identification of uncertainty by modelling technical processes, the detection and handling of data-induced conflicts, the analysis, quantification and evaluation of model uncertainty as well as the representation and visualisation of uncertainty. The different approaches are discussed and demonstrated on exemplary technical systems.

A vehicle make and model recognition (VMMR) system is a common requirement in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). However, it is a challenging task because of the subtle differences between vehicle categories. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical scheme for VMMR. Specifically, the scheme consists of (1) a feature extraction framework called weighted mask hierarchical bilinear pooling (WMHBP) based on hierarchical bilinear pooling (HBP) which weakens the influence of invalid background regions by generating a weighted mask while extracting features from discriminative regions to form a more robust feature descriptor; (2) a hierarchical loss function that can learn the appearance differences between vehicle brands, and enhance vehicle recognition accuracy; (3) collection of vehicle images from the Internet and classification of images with hierarchical labels to augment data for solving the problem of insufficient data and low picture resolution and improving the model’s generalization ability and robustness. We evaluate the proposed framework for accuracy and real-time performance and the experiment results indicate a recognition accuracy of 95.1% and an FPS (frames per second) of 107 for the framework for the Stanford Cars public dataset, which demonstrates the superiority of the method and its availability for ITS.

AbstractGraceful extensibility has been recently introduced and can be defined as the ability of a system to extend its capacity to adapt when surprise events challenge its boundaries. It provides basic rules that govern adaptive systems. Railway transportation systems can be considered cyber-physical systems that comprise interacting digital, analog, physical, and human components engineered for safe and reliable railway transport. This enables autonomous driving, new functionalities to achieve higher capacity, greater safety, and real-time health monitoring. New rolling stock introductions require continuous adaptations to meet the challenges of these complex railway systems as an introduction takes several years to complete and deals with changing stakeholder demands, new technologies, and technical constraints which cannot be fully predicted in advance. To sustain adaptability when introducing new rolling stock, the theory of graceful extensibility might be valuable but needs further empirical testing to be useful in the field. This study contributes by assessing the proto-theorems of graceful extensibility in a case study in the railway industry by means of adopting pattern-matching analysis. The results of this study indicate that the majority of theoretical patterns postulated by the theory are corroborated by the data. Guidelines are proposed for further operationalization of the theory in the field. Furthermore, case results indicate the need to adopt management approaches that accept indeterminism as a complement to the prevailing deterministic perspective, to sustain adaptability and deal effectively with surprise events. As such, this study may serve other critical asset introductions dealing with cyber-physical systems in their push for sustained adaptability.

to representation the complex technical systems, we propose the use of fuzzy GH-models based on graphs, which differ from known that allow to take into account, in addition to the same type of edges, different types of edges and multiple edges in the form of a vector. The paper notes the advantages of GH-graphs due to the use of edges in the form of a vector, which reduces the time spent on calculations on graphs and at the same time takes into account the necessary relations in the system. The classification of edges in GH-graphs is performed, due to the need to use all possible relations between the objects of the system.
