A modifications of the evolutionary algorithm and simulated annealing method for solving the base station location problem for creating a wireless data network is introduced in the article. By the way of computer simulation a comparison of speed and accuracy of solutions obtained by the proposed methods and the method of exhaustive search is produced. The study revealed that new simulated annealing method show better results than the modified evolutionary algorithm.
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.
