Control of the beginning of accidents in railroad operation safety systems in seismically active regions using the noise technology

On the railroads in seismically active regions, the impact of frequent weak earthquakes accelerates the initiation of defects such as wear and tear, cracks and deformation due to fatigue. An analysis of the types and stages of initiation and development of defects preceding accidents at technical facilities has shown that the registration of the beginning of the latent period of transition of objects to an emergency state based on the results of traditional technologies of analysis of measurement information in the applied control systems in the field of railway transport is delayed owing to the difficulties of noise analysis. The proposed algorithms and noise analysis technologies allow forming corresponding sets of informative attributes to control the beginning of the latent period of accidents. Their use in intelligent noise control systems will improve the safety of this mode of transportation. To this end, it is expedient to create a subsystem for noise seismic hazard warning, i.e., a subsystem for noise control of the onset of the initiation and dynamics of development of changes in the technical condition of the rolling stock, railroad tracks, bridges, tunnels, and other railroad infrastructure facilities.
