Assess the ecological state of a polluted reservoir based on the calculated integral indicators: the reservoir pollution index, the trophic state assessment index and the specific combinatorial index of surface water pollution.

Methods: Stage-by-stage processing of test results is carried out: initially, the average values of pressing force and the actual pressing force on a single brake block is determined. Then the coefficient of friction between the blocks and the wheel and the maximum slope of the track, on which the railway rolling stock is retained by the parking brake, are calculated. The solution of the problem is based on the iteration method, which must be applied twice: at the first stage, in order to find the value of the total pressing force on the brake blocks from the action of the parking brake, taking into account that the maximum slope of the track, on which the train is retained by the parking brake, equals 30‰, then at the second stage, such a value of the moment on the parking brake drive shaft is selected so that the value of the required pressing force on the brake blocks from the action of the parking brake is the same as with the maximum slope of the track id = 30 ‰, after which the obtained results are evaluated and compared with the normative values. Results: An updated method for testing the parking brake of freight cars has been developed.

YOLOv8 is one of the most popular real-time object detection algorithms that uses deep neural networks to classify and localize objects. YOLOv8 can detect objects in images and videos with high speed and accuracy. This model can work on various hardware platforms, including mobile devices and computers. MASK R-CNN is an even more advanced object detection algorithm that has the ability to highlight objects and their contours with high accuracy. MASK R-CNN uses convolutional neural networks and mask segmentation techniques to detect objects. It can work both in real time and on static images. When vision systems are equipped with YOLOv8 and MASK R-CNN neural networks, they can quickly respond to extraneous objects that appear on the rails. The purpose of the article is to develop algorithms for detecting railway transport objects and obstacles using technical vision and neural networks, and to evaluate the effectiveness of algorithms. Methods: The YOLOv8 algorithm is based on the architecture of convolutional neural networks and uses supervised learning methods. This model takes an image as input and provides estimates of the probability that a certain object is present in the image in real time. To achieve this, YOLOv8 employs region of interest (ROI) detection methods, allowing to determine the areas of the image on which objects may be located. The MASK R-CNN algorithm uses more sophisticated methods, such as mask segmentation methods and proportional resizing of the area of interest (RoIAlign) to achieve more accurate results of object detecting in images and videos. It is also based on convolutional neural networks and uses supervised learning methods. MASK R-CNN uses mask segmentation methods to determine the contour of an object in an image, as well as the RoIAlign method, which allows for superior quality when processing various image sizes. Common mathematical methods that are used in YOLOv8 and MASK R-CNN are methods of convolutional neural network, supervised learning and optimization of the loss function. They are based on deep learning algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent and backward propagation of errors. Results: An algorithm for detecting foreign objects on the route of rolling stock using a technical vision system, calculation of the evaluation of the quality of neural networks performance, error matrices have been formed, the results of neural network processing have been obtained.

The article shows the way of the consistent emergence, development and improvement of the theory of axonometric projections. Examples of its use in different periods are shown. The contribution of Russian scientists to the improvement of the theory of the axonometry method and its application in construction and industry is established. The main advantages of axonometry are shown: visual clarity and the possibility to determine the parameters of a real object based on such images. The inaccuracies of the axonometry theory representation in modern regulatory documents are analyzed. The necessity to depict axonometric axes when creating images is indicated. Axonometric projections are considered as a method of geometric modeling in computer-aided design systems, which allows creating visual planar models of artificial structures and other objects.
