Control of technological processes using a fuzzy controller of the system for management of cargo delivery by railway

Abstract

Motives: One of the final indicators of service reliability of the transport system is the cargo delivery time, compliance of which is not yet controlled due to the lack of appropriate methods and tools of operational management. The concept of quality of assessment of cargo delivery, namely the reliability of compliance with the time obligations by transportation participants, is associated with the process modeling and the accuracy of determination of the estimated time of completion of each stage of the technological process of cargo delivery. Aim: The purpose of the study is to present the model of a fuzzy controller as a principle of forming of a railway process management system, which is based on the possibility to operate with linguistic representations of elements. Results: A new solution to an important problem is obtained – the formation of managerial influence using a fuzzy controller for management of technological processes of cargo delivery by rail at the current level of requirements for the efficiency of transportation organization. The usage of the offered method provides a solution to the problems of operational control practice in the formation of tools for operational control of technological processes for the railway dispatcher unit.

The Detection of Railheads: An Innovative Direct Image Processing Method

“…To summarize, it can be argued that research focused on developing a suite of flaw detection tools, coupled with initiatives to enhance the processing and systematization of data regarding causes of defects, is ultimately one of the key factors influencing sustainable railway transport, train safety, cargo delivery times [25], and passenger transport schedules [26].…”

“…Figure 2 presents common surface defects on and damage to the sections of main railway tracks that are considered non-testable. To summarize, it can be argued that the development of flaw detection tools, together with measures aimed at improving the processing and systematization of data on the causes of rail defects, is ultimately one of the main ways to improve train safety, cargo delivery times [25], and passenger schedules [26].…”

Some Issues of the Project Analysis of Options for the Implementation of European Standard Railways in Ukraine

“…According to Erhova, Bondarenko, Shibko, & Velmagina, (2018), Strelko, Kyrychenko, Berdnychenko, Isaienko, & Tverdomed, (2019); Németh, Horváth, Movahedi, Németh, & Fischer (2022), this potential should grow (develop) at a faster pace to meet the growing needs of the population and economic sectors. The growing needs are not only an increase in the volume of transportation, but also the quantity and quality of the provided transport services (Aripov, Aliyev, Baratov, & Ametova, 2016;Statyvka, Kyrychenko, Strelko, & Berdnychenko, 2021;Halder et al, 2023).…”

Study of the contemporary trends in the development of transport systems of the Ukrainian railways

“…It is worth noting that the development of informatization and digitalization is an integral component not only for improving efficiency of transport, but also for the development of the country's economy, since digital and information technologies are becoming a key tool for managing technological processes and creating added value (Abushaega et al, 2021;Severino et al, 2021;Kulbovskyi et al, 2021;Statyvka et al, 2021, Fishchuk et al, 2018.…”
