Formation of a System for the Criterion-based Assessment of the Morphometric Properties of Individual Territorial Units When Solving the Problem of Finding a Path in Discrete Spaces

The article proposes a system for the criterion-based assessment of the morphometric properties of the terrain of individual territorial units. An example is given of obtaining a block rating matrix based on a set of proposed criteria. An assessment of their practical applicability is provided, as well as recommendations for determining the limits of criterion informativeness.
Keywords: relief morphometry, pathfinding in discrete spaces, tracing, properties of individual territorial units

Methodology for Determining the Required Number of Cleaning Crews to Service High-speed Trains on the Arrival and Departure Tracks of Passenger Stations

The time required to service trains (visual inspection, garbage removal and dry cleaning of carriages, refilling water, checking toilets, technical inspection of the running gear, braking system and wheel sets, elimination of minor malfunctions) on the arrival and departure tracks of a passenger station should be minimal. The article proposes a fundamentally new approach to calculating the required number of cleaning crews for servicing high-speed trains on the arrival and departure tracks of passenger stations.
Keywords: high-speed railway, high-speed train maintenance, high-speed rolling stock cleaning, cleaning crew
