Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to study the applicability of the hardware and software complex “Monitoring system for the technical condition of track equipment” to monitor the performance of track operations. The methodological base of study is formed on the basis of the analysis of scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists and the systematization of statistical data on the organization of the system of technical operation of track machines at enterprises of the West Siberian Railway. As a result of the study, it was proved that the functional of the system for remote monitoring of the technical condition of track equipment, which was developed by the specialists of the Siberian State Transport University, allows for continuous monitoring of the performance of track operations. Quality control of works is carried out on the basis of an estimation of parameters of functioning of working elements of the track equipment involved in the process of work performance. The application of the developed software and hardware complex allows significantly reducing the financial losses of railway transport enterprises associated with the repeated performance of track operations. The problems to be solved with the help of the proposed control system correspond to the priority areas of the Strategy for the Development of Railway Transport in the Russian Federation until 2030 in the development and implementation of means for automating control of infrastructure.
