A new type pipeline integrity and risk management system based on 4D-GIS (4Dimensional Geographic Information System) is proposed in this paper. 4D-GIS is a unique GIS platform which can manage 3D plus time change data and processes spatial-temporal pipeline integrity data effectively. The utilization purposes of the developed system are: 1) To understand the current/future physical status of pipeline, 2) To detect anomalies of pipelines and to propose solutions for replacing or repair, 3) To transport natural gas safely and stably. For 1), the methods for spatial-temporal data integration and data input are proposed. The developed system integrates a variety of pipeline integrity data sets such as pipeline maps, construction specification, documents, corrosion data, and cathodic protection voltage data. For 2), two new type diagnosis functions, which process integrated data, are proposed. One is the pipe safety diagnosis based on corrosion spreading prediction. The other one is insulation health diagnosis. For 3), stress distribution on corrosion and HCA (High Consequence Areas) is calculated. Thus, the system can be utilized for the decision making for pipeline-specific- problem solving by both pipeline operators and field pipeline managers. The processing results for realized functions are shown. Furthermore, the architecture of pipeline integrity and risk management system is described.

Introduction. The article emphasizes that the current features of the implementation of foreign economic activity require consideration of two factors that are contradictory to each other. In particular, on the one hand, the growth of external threats is forcing the governments of many countries to tighten control measures when crossing the state border of goods and commercial vehicles. On the other hand, according to international conventions and agreements (Kyoto Convention, WMO Framework Standards for Security, WTO Facilitation Agreement), measures to reduce the interference of regulatory authorities in the operational activities of economic operators are envisaged. In this context, the use of risk-oriented customs control tools, which allow simplifying business without reducing the level of national security, is becoming especially important. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to generalize and systematize foreign and domestic approaches to simplification of customs procedures through the use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control, as well as to develop their own proposals for simplification of foreign trade entities in the domestic regulatory field by using subject-oriented criteria. Results. The authors analyzed the provisions of the International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures, the Framework Standards for Security and Facilitation of International Trade, the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation, which are provided for significant simplification of international trade procedures by reducing the share of customs inspections and controls. Сustoms security, customs clearance of goods and vehicles on the territory of the subjects of foreign economic activity or in another place permitted by the customs, without the direct participation of customs officials. These measures are based on the widespread use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control. It is noted that some of the provisions of international conventions and agreements on the use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control and simplification of economic operators have been implemented in domestic customs legislation, namely Art. 320 of the Customs Code of Ukraine introduced selective customs control, it is determined that the forms and scope of control sufficient to ensure compliance with legislation on state customs and international treaties of Ukraine in customs clearance are selected by customs (customs posts) based on the results of risk management. Conclusion. The study analyzes the peculiarities of the customs risk management system application in customs control in Ukraine, and offers proposals for the use of subject-oriented criteria of customs control as a simplification for honest economic operators to reduce the selectivity of risk profiles ASUR.
