The paper addresses the problem of automated detection of destructive verbal impacts in user-generated content of digital platforms as an element of information security assurance. A method for context-semantic identification of aggressive and discriminatory statements based on the RuBERT transformer model fine-tuned on a specialized annotated corpus of Russian-language messages is proposed. The procedures of data preparation, training of a binary classifier, and probabilistic interpretation of the results are described. Experimental evaluation confirms the effectiveness and robustness of the method with respect to lexical variability and context-dependent forms of verbal aggression, as well as the possibility of its integration into automated systems for monitoring and protection of the information space.

The article presents a hybrid neural network for estimating the mass of a car and the longitudinal/transverse slopes of a road, combining a square-root sigma-point Kalman filter and a neural network model based on a transformer encoder using cross-attention to the evaluation residuals. The proposed approach combines the physical interpretability of the filter with the high approximation capability of the neural network. To ensure implementation on embedded electronic control units, the model was simplified by converting knowledge into a compact network of long-term short-term memory. The results of experiments in various scenarios showed a reduction in the average error by more than 25% with a computational delay of less than 0.3 ms.

The study addresses the problem of reducing the probability of emergency situations involving unmanned aerial systems. Accidents are regarded as outcomes of combinations of events that are individually of relatively low hazard. Causal relationships are represented by fault trees, in which the root node corresponds to an accident, the leaves correspond to basic events, and intermediate nodes describe their logical combinations. Accident scenarios are associated with the minimal cut sets of the fault tree. To identify accident prevention strategies, the concept of successful-operation paths is employed. Each such path is defined as a set of nodes having a non-empty intersection with all minimal cut sets. It is assumed that preventing all events included in a successful-operation path renders the development of accident scenarios impossible.
The study additionally accounts for the fact that the same flight mission may be executed along routes of differing complexity. Route complexity influences the cost estimates of measures aimed at preventing the events that form accident-related combinations. A model example is provided that includes the assessment of the complexity of two routes, a table of mitigation costs for basic events, and the selection of an appropriate successful-operation path for accident prevention. The proposed methodology is intended to reduce the probability of the realization of accident-inducing event combinations to an acceptable level while adhering to operational constraints and the mission-specific requirements of the flight task.

This article examines the problem of control and management in transport systems using the example of passenger rail rolling stock operation processes using information technology and automation tools. The main proposed methods for improving the efficiency of vehicle operation management are the use of digital modeling of transport complex objects and processes and the automation of probabilistic-statistical analysis of data on the technical and operational characteristics of the system. The objective of the study is to improve the operational efficiency, reliability, and safety of passenger rail rolling stock by developing digital twins of the rolling stock and digital models of its operation processes. The main objectives of the study are to develop approaches to automating methods of analysis of the flow of data on the operation and technical condition of passenger rolling stock, as well as to develop a concept for applying digital modeling to solve current problems of passenger rail transport. The research hypothesis is based on the assumption of the effectiveness of applying new information technologies to solving practical problems of rolling stock operation management. The use of digital models of rolling stock units and the digitalization of the repair process are considered. The paper proposes the use of automated Pareto analysis methods for data on technical failures of railcars and least-squares modeling of distribution and density functions for passenger wagon operating indicators as continuous random variables. It is demonstrated that digital modeling of transport system objects and processes using big data analysis enables the improvement of transportation processes. General recommendations are provided for the use of information tools to improve the management of passenger rolling stock operations in rail transport.

This article examines numerical modeling of a support joint in a glulam frame structure. Traditionally, hinge joints in frame structures have been constructed as a system of welded plates. In chemically aggressive environments, the use of steel is difficult. Replacing steel elements with polymer composite plates can ensure the required service life. The plates are made using a polyester or acrylic binder with increased resistance to aggressive chemical environments. Composite plates are much lighter than metal, making installation quicker, simpler, and easier, significantly reducing labor costs. Composite fiberglass profiles are easy to process—they can be sawed, drilled, milled, and easily assembled with bolts and adhesives.

The article presents a comparative analysis of modern database management systems (PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, and MongoDB) in the context of implementing a distributed storage of geospatial information. The aim of the study is to identify the strengths and limitations of different platforms when working with heterogeneous geospatial data and to evaluate their applicability in distributed GIS solutions. The research covers three main types of data: vector, raster, and point cloud. A comprehensive set of experiments was conducted in a test environment close to real operating conditions, including functional testing, performance benchmarking, scalability analysis, and fault tolerance assessment.
The results demonstrated that PostgreSQL/PostGIS provides the most balanced solution, showing high scalability and stable performance across all data types, which makes it a versatile platform for building GIS applications. Oracle Database exhibited strong results when processing raster data and proved effective under heavy workloads in multi-node architectures, which is especially relevant for corporate environments. Microsoft SQL Server showed reliable performance on vector data, particularly in distributed scenarios, though requiring optimization for binary storage. MongoDB proved suitable for storing raster content and metadata through GridFS, but its scalability is limited compared to traditional relational DBMS.
In conclusion, PostgreSQL/PostGIS can be recommended as the optimal choice for projects that require universality and high efficiency in distributed storage of geospatial data, while Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server may be preferable in specialized enterprise solutions, and MongoDB can be applied in tasks where flexible metadata management is a priority.
