ON THE ISSUE OF DEVELOPING CONCEPTUAL STATEMENTS OF TECHNICAL FLEET REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
The introduction of a remote control system for unmanned vehicles on inland waterways is a complex and topical task, the solution of which should begin with the definition of conceptual states that will determine the rational way of interaction of this system with the known ones. The technical fleet remote control system should provide the required level of navigation safety, and implementation of the system should not affect the metasystem operation as a whole. Currently, on water transport there is no universal scheme for step-by-step synthesis of systems like the system of monitoring the unmanned technical fleet. However, application of the engineering-cybernetic approach in this case allows to solve this problem. In this case, it is possible to formulate a list of statements that contribute to the successful organization of conceptual and operational research. The proposed conceptual states for the synthesis of the structure and factors that determine the efficiency of functioning of the technical fleet remote control system at the infocommunication triad operation (corporative river information system, river information service, automated navigation control system) help to develop a rational option of the system structure in order to obtain the greatest efficiency. All levels of the system (elementary, aggregative, systemic, metasystemic) are closely interrelated and must function as a single unit. For proper functioning of the system it has been recommended to carry out the preliminary assessment by four main criteria: stability, controllability, capability, self-organization of functions and structure. It has been referred that practical application of the results will allow water transport specialists involved in the system development process to use a uniform approach at the stage of working and design documentation development, which will make it possible to integrate the technical fleet remote control system into metasystems in the inland waterways of the Russian Federation.
