In this article, we present the abstract theorem and the feasibility for the implementation of the technological justification of the structural concept for track railway line objects using the expert system. Railway construction as a complex dynamic system requires certain resources for maintaining it. At the same time, it is characterized by the use of new, more advanced design solutions, materials, and technologies, the performers’ specialization development, and the attendant large number of participants in the technological process. Key role in these conditions gets effective standard operating procedures control, procedures that performed during the railway facilities construction. This can be achieved by improving the existing engineering and technical support system for railway construction by introducing an engineering and intellectual support subsystem for the technological processes of railway facilities construction. One of the tasks of technological processes engineering and intellectual support is the effective use of automated systems with artificial intelligence elements. Creation and implementation of automated systems with artificial intelligence elements are focused on achieving a single final result: a finished railway track facility of the corresponding functional purpose within the established deadlines planned prime cost and labor contribution and also up to date safety requirements throughout the entire operation period. Within the scope of the methodology formation for engineering and intellectual support of railway construction technological processes, the stages of constructive solutions technological substantiation for railway objects were considered, and the railway construction technological features were determined. The procedure for the railway track object decomposition into structural elements is described here. The results obtained at the decomposition stage made it possible to determine the possibilities of using expert systems to develop a technological process for the railway track object construction. With account taken of special factors relating to formalization series of tasks at hand. By the aid of the expert system, which was built based on the knowledge representation production model, was developed and described methodology for generating a construction works nomenclature. Based on theoretical research results, practical aspects of the technological substantiation implementation of design solutions using an expert system were presented here through the example of the railway roadbed flooded carn construction. During dissertation research done by the author, were obtained results that were presented in this article.

The article is devoted to the theoretical foundations of improving the engineering support of railway construction. One of the main purposes of the existing engineering support system is to evaluate the results of development and monitor the implementation of technological processes for the construction of railway facilities. In the course of the study, it was determined that a number of stages in the development and implementation of technological processes contain tasks for which the use of automated design and control systems is sufficient. However, there are tasks whose solution depends on the experience and intuitive abilities of the engineer (developer of organizational and technological documentation). To solve such problems, in addition to settlement procedures, logical ones are also necessary. In addition, the intensification of railway construction, many restrictions on the production of works and resources, as well as deviations from planned indicators, require prompt decision-making aimed at compliance with design requirements. Obviously, the total amount of information and data on the design and actual technological processes does not guarantee the efficiency and rationality in decision-making by an engineer. In this case, to solve technological, organizational and managerial tasks, it becomes possible to use some methods and means of artificial intelligence. In this regard, it was proposed to supplement the existing system of engineering and technical support for railway construction with a subsystem of engineering and intellectual support for the technological process of constructing a railway track. For the purpose of intellectualization and the formation of a new paradigm of engineering support for railway construction, an analysis was made of modern and promising practices in the development and implementation of technological processes from the perspective of the life cycle of a railway track object. It was found that modern technological processes for the construction of railway facilities should be flexible to changing working conditions. The study showed that this can be achieved through the formation of adaptive digital technological regulations. The basis of the digital regulation is the information model of the technological process. The model formation procedure is divided into stages containing tasks, the solution of which is possible using artificial intelligence tools such as expert systems, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms. A fundamental feature of the engineering and intellectual support of the technological process is the possibility of its operational regulation based on the results of monitoring its development over time. A feature of this approach is the need for the operational processing of a large amount of data that determine the development of technological processes over time, the conditions of work, the production capabilities of construction (contracting) organizations. For this, the mathematical and conceptual models of an intelligent automated system have been developed. Its main purpose is the operational solution of the problems of development and implementation of the technological process of construction of railway facilities. The results obtained during the study, as well as the developed tools, made it possible to determine the possibilities of integrating the developed methodology into the existing system for designing and managing the construction of railway facilities. The results given in the article were obtained during the dissertation research performed by the author.

The article discusses theoretical and practical research in the field of evolutionary modeling application for solving construction works planning problems in the formation of railroad track technological construction process. The study is a part of the developed engineering and technical support subsystem for railway construction: engineering and intellectual support of railroad track technological construction process. This subsystem is based on the effective use of automated systems with artificial intelligence elements. Development and implementation of these automated systems are focused on achieving a single end result, such as a finished railroad track facility with suitable functionality within the established deadlines, planned working cost and labor costs, as well as meeting modern safety requirements throughout the entire operation period. Taking into account railway construction dynamic, the use of new materials and technologies, new trends were identified within the study scope in the field of technological processes operational development, and optimal work sequence determination in the railway facilities construction. In particular, the occurrence of deviations from the planned requirements in the construction work course requires a quick reconsideration of the decisions already made, due to the railway construction stochastic behavior. This is a forced measure to ensure the fulfillment of the planned targets. The existing methods allow to correct the construction work organization, however, the technology, and in particular, the technological process remains unchanged. The static nature of the technological process is largely dictated by the project documentation requirements and work safety. But modern advances in the information and intelligent technologies field, with the account of technological process structure variability, can give a technological process dynamic properties. The technological process's ability to adapt to changing work production conditions will provide flexibility in the railway facilities construction. To solve this problem, an automated evolutionary modeling mode and optimization of the railway facility construction technological process were used. The peculiarities of existing optimization methods, in terms of the dimension of the active task and taking into account several criteria, force us to turn to intelligent methods. The article describes a technological processes optimization method for the railway facilities construction using a genetic directed search algorithm in the space of solutions. In this case, several design constraints are taken into account: resource, technological, organizational, informational. For this, a computational and logical model was developed, which made it possible to assess the target function (fitness function), with the account of the dynamic distribution nature of the contractor's available resources for construction work. Based on the theoretical research results, the article presents the practical aspects of evolutionary modeling and optimization of the railway facilities construction technological process using a genetic algorithm on the example of the flooded railway roadbed embankment construction. The results presented in this article were obtained during the dissertation research made by the author.

The article is dedicated to theoretical and practical research in the resource planning field for the railway facilities’ construction technological process using artificial neural networks. The study is a part of the subsystem in the development of railway construction engineering and technical maintenance — engineering and technical maintenance of railway facilities construction technological process. The subsystem is based on the effective automated systems use with elements of artificial intelligence. This is caused by deviations occurrence from the target requirements during the technological process implementation, due to the railway construction stochasticity, and the need for a prompt revision of the already made decisions. The existing methods allow us to correct the construction work organization, however, the technology remains unchanged, which is dictated by the design documentation and the work safety requirements. To give technological process flexibility in order to adapt to work changing conditions, it is necessary to provide an operational solution to the resource planning problem. The existing resource planning methods peculiarities, the current problem dimension, and the need to take into account a number of restrictions allow us to use artificial intelligence tools. In this regard, a methodology and a railway facilities construction technological process resource planning (labor, technical) computational-logical model with the artificial neural network use were developed. This approach is based on the lack of precise algorithmic actions or rules that can provide the desired result without formal complications. Also, the author has developed a special software module, prepared a data sample, an artificial neural network topological structure, and implemented an algorithm for its training, configuration, and testing. Based on the theoretical research and software module application results, the article presents the practical aspects of resource planning for the railway roadbed flooded embankment erection technological process.
