In modern conditions, internal combustion engines (ice) are the most popular power plant for a number of transport vehicles: cars, tractors, locomotives, river and sea transport vessels. Strict requirements of modern Euro-standards to the degree of "smokiness" of exhaust gases of diesel internal combustion engines and their toxicity contribute to the emergence of a dead end situation. It is almost impossible, using obvious technical solutions, to comply with the requirements of Euro-5 and Euro-6 standards while maintaining the acceptable growth in economic costs, internal combustion engines (ice) emit a significant amount of exhaust gases into the atmosphere, which is an environmental threat. The article considers the method of SHS technology and its advantages.

Rail transport plays a key role in the transport of passengers and goods. The high demand for effective means of flaw detection of high-speed rails, which is an important component of railway safety, is justified by the constantly growing number of vehicles and their speed [2]. Failure of elements of the railway infrastructure entails huge losses. In this regard, the analysis and forecasting of the state of elements of the railway infrastructure is an urgent task. This article analyzes modern methods for diagnosing the state of a rail track from a mobile bogie or a conventional locomotive. A method for diagnostics of a rail track is proposed, based on registration of vibrations near the rolling surface of rails and processing these signals using neural networks.

The article presents proposals for the calculation of three-layer reinforced concrete slab structures, the outer layers of which are made of heavy concrete, the middle layer is made of lightweight expanded clay concrete. Experimental elements were calculated according to the compiled program of iterative calculation, which takes into account the concrete deformation diagram in an explicit form. The calculation program reflects a technique that allows you to determine the actual distribution of deformations in sections with a crack and in the areas between them. The results of the calculation of the prototypes indicate a close convergence of the theoretical values ​​of the breaking moments, deflections, deformations of the extreme fibers, and cracking forces with those directly recorded in experimental studies.

The paper studies the liquid-phase epitaxy processes of a new material of infrared optoelectronics - indium arsenide doped with bismuth using a stepwise thermal field. An analysis of the phase equilibrium during the growth of a solid solution is carried out. The possibility of the formation of a mesostructure (modulation of the composition along the growth coordinate) is shown. The problems of defect formation in composite layers grown from a melt are considered. Ways of decreasing the dislocations density in gradient layers are discussed. A relatively simple method for controlling the thermal field of temperature in the crystallization zone and a new technological procedure for the sequential crystallization of solid solutions with a mesostructure have been developed.

The problem of major repairs on the factory highway in Samara still remains unresolved, although the issue has been acute for many years. During this time, as statistics show, there were a lot of accidents and damage to vehicles. A heavy load on the roadbed leads to rapid wear of the asphalt surface, as a result, almost every year the Factory highway needs repairs. The load on the highway will increase even more when the section of road connecting the new Kirovsky bridge with the Zavodsky highway is built. The automobile road in Samara along the ZAVODSKOE highway needs major repairs for several years, but the work does not begin, and every spring its condition worsens more and more. The issue remains relevant today.

The search for technological solutions for the organization of lean production at precast concrete enterprises was carried out. Options for rational use of rock crushing screenings as a filler and filler for self-compacting fine-grained concrete are considered. The optimal dosage of limestone crushing screenings in the composition of fine aggregate for the preparation of self-compacting mixtures has been determined. It was found that the enrichment of very fine Sands with large fractions of Sandstone crushing screening in an optimal amount reduces the intergranular voidness and reduces the water demand of the fine-grained mixture.

Organizational conflicts are a natural and integral part of any process. In modern control theory, it is proposed to use various adaptive control structures to solve such problems, in particular, with reference or configurable models in the control loop. A cognitive model of adaptive management of organizational conflicts with a configurable model in the management loop is considered. Embedding the model in the control loop allows you to integrate information about the dynamics of process characteristics. Based on information processing, a variant of controls for de-escalation of the conflict is proposed. The model in the organizational conflict management loop is essentially an intelligent conflict situation analyzer. It presents options based on the accumulated and processed information within the framework of known precedents for their solution. The core of such analyzers is a simulation model based on the system dynamics paradigm. The built simulation model allows you to evaluate and predict the impact of factors, ways to stabilize and manage organizational conflicts, taking into account the main parameters. In accordance with the concept of adaptive management, the model can be configured for the current values of the conflict situation parameters and, in accordance with the already tested options, can offer management in a specific situation. The use of the system dynamics paradigm in the model for building an effective forecast is focused on the strategic level of management.

The article is devoted to research of thermofluctuation processes of insulating materials of power cable lines (SCR) of electric power systems. It was established that an artificial neural network (ANN) can be used to compile a forecast of the temperature regime of a current-carrying core with an accuracy of 2.5% of the actual value of the core temperature.
