Currently, one of the main problems of our time is to improve the ecology of the regions. Green areas can contribute to this, however, the southern region of Russia is caused by a dry summer period. In this regard, there is the task of ensuring high-quality irrigation, which is often carried out by automated systems. However, without feedback, it is extremely difficult to bring the process to the proper level of quality. To do this, use humidity sensors, the price of which inevitably leads to a strong appreciation of the system. This article discusses the possibility and feasibility of developing and implementing its own moisture sensor that would meet such positive criteria as low cost, high accuracy and wide range of measurements, high corrosion resistance, versatility of application.

The method of layer-by-layer build-up of the material allows creating parts of complex configuration.To expand the field of application of such parts in the industry, it is necessary to know the properties of products obtained by this wayvery well. Currently, the literature sources do not provide enough information about the properties of products obtained by 3D printing on FDM-technologies.This is due to the variety of materials used and printing modes.Data on mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, bending, compression, shrinkage, specific weight of the material, will allow designing and creating real structures using 3D printing.The article considers the extrusion method of 3D printing, describes the study of tension, compression, bending, specific weight, shrinkage of samples with different structures obtained from ABS plastic.It is found that the deformation of the material during its tension depends on the number of filaments on the shell of the surface layer and reaches the highest values for samples containing eight and ten filaments. The calculation of the specific weight of the samples shows that the density of the samples with a tetrahedral structure is higher compared to the hexahedral structure at the same printing and filling modes. In determining the ultimate compressive strength of the samples, it is revealed: the higher the percentage of sample filling material, the more the sample withstands compressive stress. Experimental data on material shrinkage show that when filling the model with material from 20 to 80% shrinkage is 1%, and at 100% filling - 0.78%.

Executed system analysis of the types of damage to logging machines and damage them in the manufacture. It is found that defects in material, shape and size of the part have a significant impact on the reliability of the equipment. The main attention is paid to the effect of crack-like defects. If as a measure of damage to take the length of the crack and apply the methods of fracture mechanics in the calculations, it will be obvious the relationship of operational and industrial damage. It is established that the main cause of failures of logging machine details of domestic production is not enough high quality of their production. It is recommended to use more widely such as characteristic of materials as fracture toughness to assess the reliability of the design.

The article deals with the problem of pedestrian crossings and congestion of highways of the city of Volgograd. It described the situation on the highways and solutions to eliminate congestion on the road. Car traffic was conditionally divided into 3 categories: transit, the transit from the center and the car flow moving into the center. Studied the question of the safety of pedestrians on the road, because, except for pedestrians with the intersection increases their safety. The study and analysis of all previously implemented measures was proposed construction of underground pedestrian tunnels. Several embodiments of tunnel junctions have been considered. Analysis of the current transport situation revealed the busiest places in the city center.It was noted that the construction of underpasses solve the problem of vehicular traffic in the city center and pedestrian safety, and the city will have new underground space.
