To show the need to improve teaching technologies due to a reduction in classroom time allocated to general education disciplines when reconfiguring the curricula for training specialists. To consider the issue of rethinking the effectiveness of the existing distance learning system (DLS) as a means of rationalizing educational procedures in connection with the continuing risk of students acquiring only a minimum level of knowledge due to the use of template electronic demonstration materials in the DLS. Methods: To achieve the stated goals, data from the analysis of the results of the implementation of the “Digital Teacher” (DT) product, developed on the basis of the domestic DeepTalk platform, into the educational process of the ICS Department are used. An algorithm for training a neural network as a mathematical core of the DT has been developed. When used at the first stages of loading the DT with text and presentation materials, the principle of randomization of logically related queries, answers and comments from teachers on lectures and practical assignments is implemented. Results: A technique for iterative adjustment of the DT has been developed and tested when increasing the array of situational data with the following elimination of the contradiction between the requirement for representativeness and the initially small volume of the generated training sample. Practical significance: The creation of a developed neural network product is the first step in the deployment of the University’s digital services system, the hierarchical structure of which according to areas of training, qualifications and specializations should include “Digital Teacher”, “Digital Applicant Curator” and other similar products. The introduction of DT into providing teaching in senior years will contribute to the formation of the student’s individual educational trajectory and the development of his cognitive abilities. Further, in the course of obtaining additional professional education, the use of DeepTalk will ensure the acquisition of skills in interacting with AI, used as a means of supporting decision-making under conditions of uncertainty. DeepTalk allows you to assess the predisposition of applicants to the main types of professional activities at JSCo “Russian Railways”.","PeriodicalId":273874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Petersburg Transport University","volume":"25 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To more profoundly evaluate the volatility of gasoline-ethanol mixtures at different ethanol and water contents, and its effect on startability. Methods: Comparison of available data in normative and reference literature, also in scientific publications. Conducting an experiment using the standard method for gasoline to measure the saturated vapor pressure of gasoline-ethanol mixture of various composition. Results: From the collected data, parameters of the gasoline-ethanol mixture that are important for operation of transport engines have been identified. The need for a detailed assessment of the influence of the composition of such mixtures on the structural materials of transport engines has been identified. Data have been obtained on the volatility of mixtures in a wide temperature range, simulating real operating conditions. No significant deterioration in startability has been revealed. A visible violation of the phase stability of mixtures containing more than 7.5% water has been noted. Practical significance: The measured degree of volatility and startability of gasoline-ethanol mixtures of the various composition allows us to conclude that their level in comparison with gasoline, for mixtures with a 5% ethanol content is satisfactory, and for mixtures with 85% ethanol, is relatively satisfactory. For the first time, the parameters of the provided standard procedure are expanded, relative to the usual temperature recommended when measuring the vapor pressure, to possibly wider limits, allowing a more complete picture to be obtained.","PeriodicalId":273874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Petersburg Transport University","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Comparison of the obtained magnetic powder indications during wet magnetic powder control under conditions of magnetization of rolling stock parts by the applied field method using the MD-12PSH flaw detector. In practice, identical conditions have been maintained for magnetizing components at the center of the solenoid, uniformly applying magnetic suspension through aerosol can and sprayer to the surface, as well as inspecting for the presence of accumulations of magnetic powder particles under both daylight and ultraviolet irradiation. Results: The experiment has shown that the technical characteristics of the magnetic indicator stated in the passport by the manufacturer shouldn’t be fully trusted and relied on. At the same time, the use of one or more standard or tuning (control) samples with a huge range of control objects is not enough. Practice shows that, taking into account the fact that surfaces of parts differ, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of magnetic suspensions for the brightness of powder glow, contrast, measured length of the magnetic indication on parts with artificial or natural defects with exactly the same surface. Practical significance: The article shows that it is necessary to use for each control object its own tuning or control sample. Only those objects of control that are identical or comparable in size, shape, color, roughness, and other characteristics fall under the exception.

To touch upon the negative impact of the metallurgical industry, in particular, of the waste generated from its activities on geosystems.

Methods: Various technologies for the complex processing of solid waste from metallurgy have been developed, some of them have been implemented on an industrial scale abroad. We develop such technologies at the level of research and semi-industrial tests. Results: A distinctive feature of soils reinforced with solid wastes of metallurgy is that structure formation and strength development occur both in air-dry and in humid environments. These wastes effectively strengthen soils of different granulometric and chemical-mineralogical composition. As shown by laboratory studies and supporting construction, soils reinforced with this complex waste are suitable for constructing pavement structural layers. When strengthening sandy soils, a purely mechanical penetration and enveloping of soil particles (due to the small amount of clay particles) occurs without the formation of a strong spatial structure. Practical significance: The possibility of using waste from metallurgical production to strengthen weak soils is shown, and these new methods can be recommended for practical use.","PeriodicalId":273874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Petersburg Transport University","volume":"17 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing electromagnetic influences on the alternating current railway lead to significant economic losses. Additionally, there is a problem of the contact wire (CW) burnout during the passage of a neutral section with a raised pantograph under voltage on a high-speed railway line (HSRL). CW burnout leads to failure of the contact network, repair costs, possible damage to other people’s property and rolling stock. As a whole, all this represents significant economic losses. Methods: The analysis of material and time costs for the elimination of problems that arise due to the CW burnout or due to the use of manual labor during the installation of OL has been carried out, in comparison with the proposed solutions to reduce economic losses. Results: In solving the problem of the negative electromagnetic influence of the contact line (CL) on the OL, a mobile mechanized complex (MMC) is designed to help, which performs the transposition of the OL wires in 6 steps with scrolling by 60° each support. This method will allow us to place the OL wires equidistantly from the contact wire. Scrolling with once-per-support frequency will align the asymmetry of the linear electrical parameters. All in all, MMC performs installation in an automated mode. The problems of the CW burnout can be reduced by the insulating coupling device (ICD) of the CL. ICD CL is a set of step resistances, which are located at the outer sections of the phase wires before and after the neutral section. It is aimed at reducing the current to a safe value, which will not lead to the contact wire burnout, failure of the CN and/or rolling stock and possible damage to other people’s property. Practical significance: The result is a set of measures in the form of MMC to reduce economic losses in overhead lines from the influence of CN and ICD CL to reduce losses in the contact network by maintaining the operability of the contact wire.","PeriodicalId":273874,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Petersburg Transport University","volume":"15 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The main technical characteristics of the collector traction electric drive (TED) NB-514E and asynchronous TED DTA-1100 are presented. A measurement scheme for voltage and current on the power winding of the transformer is proposed. The monitoring of parameters has been carried out directly on electric locomotives using specialized metrological equipment.
