Abstact. During automated rheostat tests of locomotives itʹs necessary to control a lot of parameters of the diesel generator set and support systems. Due to the features of perception of the information by human the control is brought to the observation of a small number of parameters. Implementation in practice of rheostat tests of automated systems of inspection and testing allowed to expand the amount of received information. In this article is offered using automated control systems of diesel-generator sets parameters during rheostat tests which allow to accumulate and analyze test date using developed protocols forms and pivot tables with parameters in entire range of loads, also it helps to determine the quantitative index of a technical condition of diesel-generator set.

The account of a real technical condition of the equipment of the locomotive at planning of volumes of its repair is one of the major reserves of reduction of working costs of railways and decrease in the cost price of transportations. The continuous control of a technical condition of the locomotive in operation is carried out with use of stationary and onboard means of technical diagnostics. The increasing of operational profitability and reliability of diesel locomotives demands continuous control for a technical condition of their equipment in the service. The wide-band exhaust gases oxygen content sensor can be used for continuous monitoring of the air excess coefficient in the locomotive diesel engine cylinders. This type sensors are widely used in automotive diesel engines control systems. It means for indirect estimation of the engine cylinders mixture quality by the exhaust gases oxygen content.

The structure of a complex of locomotive safety devices (CLSD) is analyzed. A comparison of technical characteristics and design features of ground stationary and transport antennas of the receiving equipment of the global satellite radio navigation system (SRNS) is made. On this basis, the importance of using SRNS in the CLSD structure is shown. It has also been shown that the decrease in locomotive positioning errors associated with the need to increase the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the receiver can be achieved by the use of active phased array antennas (APARs). APAR are able to form narrowly directional patterns with the commutation of their maximum directions in accordance with the coordinates of the constellation's navigation satellites. Features of the formation of narrowly directional patterns and the possibility of controlling them in a linear and flat uniform APAR are considered. It is shown that the use of APAR in the ground-based equipment of the user is associated with the need: a) changing the approach to designing it for specific applications, - a flat surface of the required size should be provided in the design; b) the modernization of the algorithm for receiving and processing SRNS signals, which must take into account the finite switching time of the radiation patterns, the angle of the mask, the number and coordinate distribution of the navigation satellites in the working constellation.

The article is devoted to numerical methods for solving nonlinear heat conduction problems with considering for the relaxation of heat flow. A mathematical model is developed on the basis of a non-linear heat equation of the hyperbolic type for calculating the temperature field in an infinitely extended (unlimited) plate. The implementation of the grid method using a three-layer implicit difference scheme for solving the nonlinear hyperbolic heat conduction problem is presented for the case when the absorption of radiation energy is modeled by a volumetric heat source. A numerical solution of the nonlinear heat conduction problem in an unbounded plate is obtained taking into account the relaxation of the heat flow on the basis of the finite difference technique using the sweep method and iterative refinement of the coefficients. A calculation algorithm with a graphical representation of the results of calculating the temperature field in an unbounded plate under the influence of concentrated energy flows is described. A comparison of the results of calculations of temperature fields in mathematical modeling on the basis of the nonlinear hyperbolic heat equation and the corresponding linear model using the mean integral values of thermophysical and optical characteristics is presented. The significant differences obtained between the temperature fields corresponding to the nonlinear and linear problems justify the need to take into account the temperature dependence of the thermophysical characteristics and the absorptivity in the study of high-intensity processes of heating the bodies. The developed nonlinear mathematical model of body heating with allowance for the finite speed of heat distribution and the temperature dependence of the material properties, can be used to select the modes for processing mode bodies with high-intensity energy flows.
