Abstract

The railroad bed is subject to various destructive processes. Therefore, constant monitoring and control of the technical condition of railroad tracks is required. The existing literature examines a method, according to which special equipment is installed in one of the cars of the rolling stock, and an intelligent system is created to identify the railroad track sections that require extraordinary control. In this system, using a controller, the characteristics of the noise of the noisy vibration signal resulting from ground vibration are calculated, which are used as diagnostic informative attributes of the occurrence of malfunction on the railroad track in the initial latent period of inception, and a knowledge base of the technical condition is created. As a result of the analysis, a decision is made on the necessity or omission of off-schedule inspection of railroad tracks. In this paper, we propose to include new and more important diagnostic attributes into this knowledge base, which are estimates of the degree of reliability of operational and the degree of hazard of non-operational states of the railroad bed. To calculate these attributes, algorithms are proposed for calculating the probability of the useful component and the noise falling within given bounding intervals. Taking into account that the algorithms are rather complicated, the calculation of characteristics should be performed in the control center, where the noisy vibration signal is transmitted. As a result, a new final improved knowledge base is formed. The application of the proposed algorithms increases the reliability and adequacy of the control of the railroad bed.
