The article deals with the problems of speed and timeliness of the development of control actions from digital management systems. Generalization of researches is given. The role of mathematical applications of game theory for the role in the implementation of fog and boundary computations in the paradigm of the development of digital signal processing systems as well as their optimization value are substantiated.A particular generalization is developed and is given from the processing of an encoded signal sequence that demonstrates the operation of a humidity sensor from the viewpoint of bringing it to the basis of an antagonistic game in order to determine the optimal strategy of the device’s behaviour at a given time interval.The practical significance of the study is confirmed by a new approach to the implementation of economic methods for analysis of probabilistic outcomes within the framework of game theory in an algorithm for analysis of a digital signal for a linear comparator of recorded physical quantities in the form of digital levels. The value of such analysis metrics in network-centric distributed systems of the Internet of things in multiplexing environments is given.

Vehicle Response to Kinematic Excitation, Numerical Simulation Versus Experiment

The article is devoted to the numerical simulation and experimental verification of a vehicle’s response to kinematic excitation caused by driving along an asphalt road. The source of kinematic excitation was road unevenness, which was mapped by geodetic methods. Vertical unevenness was measured in 0.25 m increments in two longitudinal profiles of the road spaced two meters apart with precise leveling realized by geodetic digital levels. A space multi-body computational model of a Tatra 815 heavy truck was adopted. The model had 15 degrees of freedom. Nine degrees of freedom were tangible and six degrees of freedom were intangible. The equations of motion were derived in the form of second-order ordinary differential equations and were solved numerically by the Runge–Kutta method. A custom computer program in MATLAB was created for numerical simulation of vehicle movement (eps = 2−52). The program allowed simulation of quantities such as deflections, speeds, accelerations at characteristic points of the vehicle, and static or dynamic components of contact forces arising between the wheel and the road. The response of the vehicle (acceleration at characteristic points) at different speeds was experimentally tested. The experiment was numerically simulated and the results were mutually compared. The basic statistical characteristics of experimentally obtained and numerically simulated signals and their power spectral densities were compared.

APPLICATION OF ELECTRONIC LEVELS AND IMPACT OF THEIR ACCURACY ON CONSTRUCTION MEASUREMENTS

Currently, in Kyrgyzstan, the pace and scale of construction of residential buildings are increasing, and such a geodetic device as an electronic level is in high demand in the industry. This article provides comparative analysis of digital levels released in last thirty years, such as WILD NA2000, Sokkia SDL50 and Leica LS15. Particular attention is paid to the technical characteristics, the study and analysis of which are the conclusions and results. Based on the study, the authors clearly show the development and close connection of modern technologies with electronic surveying instruments – levels. The topic of this article is relevant as we can observe high rate of urban development in case of Bishkek, therefore, the demand for such a device is considered to be high.

Development and Implementation of Calibration Mathematical Models and Procedures for Precise Digital Level

Achieving the desired results and safety for any engineering project requires regularly review and check the technical specifications and accuracy of the geodetic instruments. Standard calibration models and procedures are exist for all geodetic instruments but it must be developed and modified to meet the standard for advanced precise digital level especially for deformation measurements. Digital levels are widely used for setting out engineering structures and monitoring the structural deformation because of their accuracy, in addition to the possibility of automatically collecting and storing data, which save time and effort required for observations. When performing measurements for an industrial building or construction site, due to the operation of various mechanisms and equipment, vibration occurs on the surface of the earth or on the concrete base, on which a tripod with a digital level is mounted. Under these conditions, the frequency and amplitude of the oscillations has a great effect on the observations of modern digital geodetic instruments. This paper investigates the accuracy of precise digital level observations (height differences and distances) for two cases which are: observations in laboratory and observations in the field (open area - outdoors observations with sun light and different weather condition than laboratory). The paper presents also two new suggested observations techniques for determining the collimation error (angle (θ)) of precise levels depending on least square theory which in turn provide a significant improvement of the suggested methods for determining the characteristic of digital levels. The research presents also experimentally the results of investigating the effect of (level – tripod) vibration on the digital level observations accuracy and suggest a practical technique to reduce the influence of the tripod-level vibration system on the resulted observations.

IMPROVEMENT OF HIGH-PRECISION LEVELLING METHOD BY DIGITAL LEVELS IN THE CONDITION OF NON-SUFFICIENT LIGHT INTENSITY OF LINED ROD

The performing of high-precision geometric leveling by short beams with the purpose of control for the process of building and exploitation of engineering structures and industrial equipment is carried out with visual reading levels or digital levels in case there are a lot of disturbance effects, the basic of which are the vibrations of some equipment in operation, rapid temperature changes, and also non-sufficient and irregular light intensity of bar-code or lined rods. The purpose of the article is the improvement of high-precision leveling method performance by digital levels in the condition of insufficient light intensity of bar-code rods. The article considers the influence of insufficient light intensity of bar-code rods on the leveling station work by digital levels. Due to irregular and insufficient light intensity of the rod the receiver of the digital level does not allow to read distinctly the bar-code and to perform its processing and output to the indication unit in metric system. That’s why for accurate measurement on the station the light intensity of the rods should be sufficient, nearly similar and regular. The article gives the results of using the rod, equipped with light-emitting diodes to provide its sufficient and regular lighting.

Estudio de bofedales en los Andes ecuatorianos a través de la comparación de imágenes Landsat-8 y Sentinel-2

<p>The objective of the present study was to compare the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 images to calculate the wetland´s extension, distribution and degree of conservation, in Reserva de Producción de Fauna Chinborazo (RPFCH) protected area located in the Andean region of Ecuador. This process was developed with in situ work in 16 wetlands, distributed in different conservation levels. The Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 images were processed through a radiometric calibration (restoration of lost lines or píxels and correction of the stripe of the image) and an atmospheric correction (conversion of the digital levels to radiance values), to later calculate the Vegetation spectral indexes: NDVI, SAVI (L = 0.5) where L is a constant of the soil brightness component, EVI2 (improved vegetation index 2), NDWI (standard difference water index), WDRI (wide dynamic range vegetation index) and the Red Edge model that only this one has in Sentinel-2 in this study. Making a classification of the Bofedal ecosystem in satellite images by applying Random Forest, the most important variables with Landsat-8 were EVI2 (37.72%) and SAVI with L = 0.5 (30.97%), while with Sentinel-2 the most important variables correspond to the Red Edge (38.54%) and WDRI (27.06%). With the indices calculated, two categories of analysis were determined: a) wetland integrated by the levels: intervened [1], moderately conserved [2] and conserved [3] and b) other than wetland [4] integrated by areas that do not correspond to this ecosystem. Landsat-8 shows that the percentage of correct classifications of píxels belonging to the wetland category corresponds to: [1] 72.76%, [2] 58.38%, [3] 68.42%, while for the category other [4] were correct 95.15%. With Sentinel-2, the percentage of correct classifications corresponds to [1] 95.00%, [2] 82.60%, [3] 96.25%, while for the category other [4] the correct answers were 98.13%. In this way with Landsat-8 the wetland corresponds to 21.708,54 ha (41.21%), while with Sentinel-2 the wetland represents a total of 20,518 ha (38.95%), of the 52,560 ha that belong to the RPFCH, concluding that Sentinel-2, due to its better spatial resolution, and the incorporation of its new bands in Red Edge, obtains better results in image classification.</p>

The effect of cross-border fibre-optic transitions on the information and communication connectivity of the Russian cities

The Russian cities are connected by many telecommunication lines. The information flow between any two cities can be sent via multiple routes, including those running through the networks of other countries. Cross-border transitions are created to connect the Russian lines with the international networks. The effect of these transitions on the connectivity of the cities has not been analysed earlier, either for Russia or for any other country. Using my own database on the Russian telecommunication lines, the Rosstat data on the cities’ population, and the results of the scanning of the Internet topology, I attempt to assess the effect of these transitions on the connectivity of the Russian cities. The assessment is carried out at the physical, economic, and digital levels of connectivity. For each level, I calculate the proportion of cities and their residents interacting directly with international telecommunication networks. Of the three categories of physical connectivity, the system of the Russian cities is associated with the worst option — the exogenous connectivity. This is explained by the impossibility of connecting the Kaliningrad region with mainland Russia without using international networks. An analysis of the traffic redistribution between the core cities of the autonomous systems shows that closed flows and internal economic connectivity are predominant in Russia. The calculation of information flow delays between all the Russian cities and the cores of the national and international digital agglomerations makes it possible to establish what cities are affected by the international cores. I conclude that the cross-border transitions have little effect on the information and communication connectivity of the Russian cities.

Final Results of Establishment of the Geodetic Vertical Second Order Network of Lithuania

The methodology of all kinds of geodetic measurements of the Geodetic Vertical Second Order Network, the information on the observation data received and main results of the accuracy estimation and adjustment of the network are presented. In 2006 the development of the Geodetic Vertical First Order Network of Lithuania was completed. It was the basis to adopt the Height System of Lithuania (LAS07). The densification of the Geodetic Vertical First Order Network started in 2010 by development of the Geodetic Vertical Second Order Network. The Second Order Network consists of 74 levelling lines, and total length of them is 3087 km. In the period of 2010–2013 the 16 levelling lines (814 km) were observed. Rest of levelling lines were observed in 2013–2016. Total number of benchmarks is 2099. The levelling was executed by digital levels Trimble DiNi12 and coded rods Nedo LD13. All ground benchmarks were positioned by GPS receivers Trimble 5700 and Trimble Zephyr Geodetic antennas. LitPOS stations served as fiducial points. The gravity accelerations at all benchmarks were observed by gravimeters Scintrex CG-5. The levellings of the Second Order Network carried out is characterized by high precision: the double run of one kilometre levelling RMS error does not exceeds 0.7 mm. The adjustments of the second order levelling lines applying least square method were executed separately in each region outlined by the First Order network lines and border of a country.
