Digital twins of railway stations are necessary for planning work and taking the most effective management actions. An important factor is the compliance of the planned time costs with the actual ones. One of the tasks that are difficult to formalize at railway stations is the process of holding the rolling stock. This is due to the fact that the holding time depends on the human factor and the holding rolling stock. To create an automated station controlled by a digital twin, it is necessary to develop an automated holding system. One of the tasks in developing such a system is the problem of device location. This problem can be formulated as follows: it is necessary to place the minimum allowable number of holding devices in the controlled area in such a way that reliable holding is provided for any configuration of the rolling stock. As a tool for solving this problem, the most effective will be the use of methods of genetic algorithms. In this article, the authors consider the relevance of this study and the relevance of automating the holding of rolling stock.

The design of energy-efficient buildings is based on the analysis of the external climatic effects on buildings for various purposes, the parameters of the air environment inside which are well defined. Climate systems of buildings should neutralize the negative impact of the external environment, in particular wind exposure. It determines both the temperature regime of the room and the purity of the air inside them. The complexity of both theoretical research and the organization of field experiments or blowing models of buildings in a wind tunnel makes it necessary to resort to mathematical modeling of the wind impact on the school building based on the StarCCm+ program. Velocity fields were obtained for different directions of wind load, the excess heat loss of the building in certain directions was determined. The possibility of conducting such studies in a wider range of initial and boundary conditions is shown.

The results of the automated evaluation of the dynamic quality of grinding machines in the process monitoring system are presented. The transfer function of the dynamic system is analytically obtained, a formula for the frequency function is derived from it, on the basis of which models of vibration spectra are constructed, in which frequencies are present that are adequate to the real vibro-acoustic vibrations of the dynamic system of the machine when processing rings. For experimental evaluation of the dynamic quality of machine tools, integral estimates of the low-frequency components of the vibration spectrum are used, characterizing the relationship between the quality of processing bearing rings and the dynamic quality of machine tools.

The issues of ensuring the reliable operation of bearing production on the basis of the organization of the process monitoring system (SMTP), based on the introduction of effective automated control and diagnostics of technological equipment, including processing modes and technical condition, active control of product quality in the manufacturing process, output characteristics of rings processed by the eddy current method, as well as making decisions on timely maintenance of equipment. The results of the inspection are stored in a report file generated in the eddy current device computer: information about each checked part is stored: the time of inspection, the type of part, the surface to be monitored, the number of the machine on which the part was processed. The results of eddy current control serve as the basis for monitoring the dynamic characteristics of the equipment by vibroacoustic vibrations. Based on the results of the control within the framework of the SMTP, a decision is made on the quality management of processing. The introduction of SMTP provided a significant reduction in ring defects in terms of grinding quality up to 2-3 % and increased operational reliability of bearings.

Reducing energy consumption in the design, installation and operation of engineering networks is implemented in the process of implementing investment construction projects. An energy service contract, like any economic agreement, requires a feasibility study. When strengthening the thermal protection of a building, it is necessary to determine both the design of the fences and translucent structures, and the payback period of the investment. The objective of the research is to develop and analyze a mathematical model of heat losses depending on the characteristics of the resistance to heat transfer of walls, windows and balcony doors. Classical dependencies do not allow applying standard mathematical analysis procedures. It is proposed to use a power function that assumes the availability of differentiation. The paper substantiates the form of such a function and provides an extended analysis of the effect of changes in the resistance to heat transfer of building structures on the transmission heat losses of a building, which allows arguing for the adoption of optimal technical and economic decisions.

The problem of increasing the coding and decoding speed of Reed-Solomon codes (RS-codes) is considered. The implementation of the Open JPEG encoding system library was chosen as a base implementation for comparison. This task is considered for an x86-64 environment. The paper proposes ways to improve performance both when using a standard set of instructions and when using vector instructions from the SSSE3 and AVX2 sets. A technique for comparing the speed of encoding / decoding RS-codes is described using the example of the developed library and the basic implementation in Open JPEG. An experimental study of the relationship between the parameters of RS-codes, the encoding / decoding rate, and the set of instructions used is carried out. It is shown that for any RS-code it is possible to significantly increase performance even on a standard set of instructions. A method is proposed for the dynamic selection of the encoding acceleration method depending on the instructions supported by the target computer and the parameters of the used RS-code.
