Usage of Specialized Intellectual and Artificial Intelligence Systems to Improve Railway Transport Technologies

The chapter discusses issues related to the essence of intellectual tasks of individual railway transport technologies, which are implemented by intellectual means of existing automated control systems or are supposed to be created based on promising methods of modern AI mechanisms. A specialized information platform of analytical servers (AnS) is presented, designed to generate models of intellectual tasks and implement artificial intelligence tools to them. Methods for intelligent threat recognition for automated railway transport control systems are considered. The proposed method allows for achieving threat detection efficiency ranging from 85 to 98%. One of the most promising areas of research and development in the field of AI is, discussed in the chapter, predictive maintenance of fleets of technical systems, which predicts their behavior taking into account uncertainty. The mechanisms for integrating intelligent control systems, including neural networks, and power supply for railway transport are considered. These systems provide increased efficiency, flexibility and control over energy consumption and distribution, energy recovery capabilities of the entire transport system.
