TECHNOLOGIES FOR MONITORING THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE OBJECTS BASED ON THE COEFFICIENT OF CORRELATION BETWEEN CRITICAL VALUES OF NOISE AND USEFUL SIGNALS

Abstract

Transport infrastructure objects are exposed to a large number of loads, which cause the formation of displacements, bends, wear, cracks, breakdowns, corrosion, and other defects. It is shown that at the moment of initiation of malfunctions in objects, the noise of the noisy signals coming from the corresponding sensor takes critical values that correlate with useful signals. Therefore, algorithms are developed for calculating the probability of random noise accepting critical values, a coefficient of correlation between the critical values of the noise and the useful component, and a relay cross-correlation function. Technologies for monitoring the technical condition of transport infrastructure objects are proposed based on the estimates of the developed noise characteristics. Computational experiments are conducted, and the reliability of the developed algorithms and technologies is confirmed.
