The article proposes a method for assessing the risk of a possible stay of an automated special-purpose information system in a critical state, based on the synthesis of two heterogeneous mathematical models, one of which allows taking into account the intensity of DDOS attacks and the intensity of application processing, based on Markov processes, and the second is one of the forms of a formal description of protection systems, with complete overlap, in which the interaction of the "threat area", "protected area" is considered – areas of resources of an automated information system for special purposes, and "protection systems" – security mechanisms of an automated information system. The developed method makes it possible to simulate the information security tools included in the automated information system for special purposes, under the influence of DDOS attacks, taking into account both the empirical values obtained as a result of measurements or modeling, and the theoretical base of parameters specified by input data. In the synthesis of the two models, the lack of uncertainty of some of the input parameters, taking into account the values based on expert estimates, was eliminated.

The article proposes a special device to transport earth when building an underground part by the «top-down» and «top and down» technique. The developed device is fully electrically powered. The proposed technology enables to completely exclude nonproductive movements of excavating and transportation devices to relocate the earth from the working site to the dumping site onto trucks above ground. The device is adapted to work as part of the production line when realizing the “top-down” and «top and down» technology. To exclude load lifting mechanisms for lifting and dumping of the earth onto the trucks above ground, it is proposed to use two lifting rails with hoisting equipment fixed on a metal frame.

The growth in the number of vehicles on the streets of cities leads to adverse consequences: an increase in congestion, the occurrence of road accidents. In order to take measures for the efficient use of road transport roads in order to avoid unfavorable congestion situations, it is proposed to control traffic flows using a fuzzy regulator along the length of the queue in each of the conflicting directions. The optimization principle is based on minimizing the length of the queue of traffic flows, which allows the most efficient use of the transport bed, avoiding unwanted congestion situations. On the developed model of the intersection, a system with fuzzy regulation of traffic signals is proposed. The average idle time is estimated with a fixed traffic light cycle and with a fuzzy control. With the use of a fuzzy regulator, the average queue at the intersection decreased by 11%.

Currently, Russian Railways are characterized by an increase in the weight of trains, an expansion of the fleet of sections with high-speed movement of electric rolling stock. All this leads to a complication of the operating modes of the power supply system, increased liability and possible damage from idle trains. At the same time, monitoring systems of the contact network, as an element of the power supply system that does not have a reserve, are of particular importance. On a significant number of sections of the Russian Railways, the wires and cables of the contact network are subject to ice and frost formations and, as a result, serious operational risks and costs. Minimizing the damage caused by the formation of ice and measures to eliminate it is possible if it is detected at the initial stage. The article provides an assessment of the possibility of using systems based on changes in the weight of wires for the purposes of early detection of ice and frost formations.

As a result of the work, an algorithm was developed and a software tool was implemented that allows ensuring the confidentiality of information in the interaction between access subjects. The study of the dependence of the selected parameters of the elliptic curve on the processing time and transmission of the encrypted message has been carried out. Studies have shown that with an increase in the values of the parameters of the elliptic curve, the time for processing confidential information increases due to insufficient system resources.

The existing architecture of the Unified Automated Information System of Customs Authorities (UAIS TO) does not fully comply with modern requirements and the goals and objectives of the FCS of Russia. The problems of desynchronization and multiple duplication of data in numerous automated information subsystems, software complexes, information and reference systems and various software tasks that make up the specialized software of the UAIS TO create prerequisites for the occurrence of emergency situations, which leads to the likelihood of stopping data transmission during customs operations , delays in the release of goods and problems with the functioning of other regulated procedures. Proposals for improving the UAIS TO are presented in terms of technical architecture, in terms of information and software infrastructure and in terms of functional architecture such as: modernization, taking into account the trends of import substitution, increasing the computing power of the data center, improving the telecommunications infrastructure (high channel capacity, uninterrupted, guaranteed data transmission); centralization of information and software tools; implementation of a functional subsystem of a unified analytical storage of information.

The paper studies the applicability ofthe coercive force (Нс) as a parameter for measuringthe wall thickness ofpipelines,vessels,andother metallic structuresthroughnonmagnetic insulationduring material degradation undercorrosion conditions. A procedure is developedfor remote inspectionof metallic structures atsites of maximum corrosion rateby the coercimetricmethod,withoutbreaking the insulationandstopping the operation ofthe object being tested.The effects of metal thickness, the size ofthe poles of the magnetizer, andthe thickness of non-ferromagneticinsulationon the absoluteand relativevalues of the coercive force are comparatively analyzed. The application of theproposed relative value methodis shown to be able to decrease significantlythe effectof steel composition and structureonthe metal thickness dependence of Нс. The results of measuring the coercive force of differently thick 09G2S steel specimens through non magnetic insulation are presented, as well as the behavior of the relative values of the coercive forceas dependent onmetal and insulation thickness.Foridentical metal thicknesses, the absolute values of the coercive force of different steels may differby a factor of 10 ormore, whereasthe difference in the relative values of Нс with equally decreasing metal thickness does not exceed 15%. The developedtechnique isinsensitivetothe misalignment of the outer and innermetal surfaces,and itenablesthe thickness oflow-alloysteels like 09G2Sto be measured witha relative error of 10%.

In the oil industry, autonomous electric power sources containing renewable energy sources are used to power remote consumers with an occasional load, mainly valve assemblies on pipelines. The need for electric energy sources of this type is determined by the need to install valve assemblies at pipeline intersections with water barriers, at intersections with transport arteries, and in a number of other cases. Very often in such places there are no available power lines or substations. In this case, the only alternative is the use of autonomous sources, or the expensive construction of an extended overhead line. In some cases, the developer decides to abandon the overhead line due to its high cost and the need for additional land acquisition. From the point of view of ecology, such a decision in favor of autonomous sources of electric energy also has an additional positive effect. Since the installation of valve assemblies is dictated mainly by environmental considerations, high requirements are placed on the reliability of power supply. Violation of these conditions can lead to hydraulic shocks in the system and possible destruction and breakage of system elements. A wind turbine or solar panels are undoubtedly an independent source of power supply and, when paired with batteries or a diesel generator set, can formally provide high reliability of power supply. On the other hand, there are periods of time when the power of a wind turbine or solar battery is insufficient to supply a given load. As a consequence, the decision on the reliability of power supply should be made on the basis of additional studies of the static and dynamic stability of the entire electrical power generation complex.
