Assessing the failures in railway information and intelligent systems impact on the transportation process

Abstract

This article examines the risks of potential economic losses that may arise from failures in automated and intelligent rail transportation management systems. A methodology for assessing the impact of failures on the transportation management system is proposed. Calculations are made and patterns of the impact of failures in automated and intelligent systems on the transportation management system are established, including the operational management of train, station, and freight operations; operational planning of train, freight, and station operations; and operational regulation. It is proven that the transition from information to intelligent planning systems can significantly reduce potential losses from failures in the transportation management system. Recommendations are given for mitigating risks and damage in the transportation management system.
