Models used for creating intelligent systems based on artificial non-chromic networks indicate to the teachers which educational as well as teaching activities should be corrected. Activities that require to be corrected are performed at established distance learning systems and thus can be: lectures, assignments, tests, grading, competitions, directed leisure activities, and case studies. Results regarding data processing in artificial neural networks specifically indicate a specific activity that needs to be maintained, promoted, or changed in order to improve students’ abilities and achievements. The developed models are also very useful to students who can understand their achievements much better as well as to develop their skills for future competencies. These models indicate that students’ abilities are far more developed in those who use some of the mentioned distance learning systems in comparison with the students who learn due to the traditional classes system.
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.
