This research paper presents organization of the business environment for work with geographic information systems (GIS) which are based on open source. The solution is completely open source: operating system, working environment and supporting apps. The architecture consists of: server, workstations, mobile devices and sensors. Software packages for each architecture segment will be displayed. The goal is to achieve a complete business environment for work with open source GIS, thus minimizing the costs of system development and maintenance. The illustrated example shows the possibility of applying GIS within a forestry company, in the field of wildfire monitoring and data collection and registering the possibility of wildfire occurrence using IoT.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
