A known system for the treatment of pavement deicing agent. The system includes interconnected container for anti-icing agent, hydraulic equipment with a pump, control equipment and spray heads, combined into at least one hydraulic line. The de-icing reagent container, hydraulic equipment with a pump and control equipment are combined into a module that can be transported and installed near the treated road section (see patent RU 83074, IPC E01H 10/00 (2006.01), 2009).

Known system for centralized control of the treatment of roads de-icing agent, including interconnected central control terminal, automatic weather stations, stationary and/or mobile de-icing systems. Automatic meteorological stations are configured to determine environmental parameters and/or pavement parameters of a certain section of the road and send the obtained parameters to the central terminal. The central terminal is configured to determine, based on the obtained parameters, the probability of an icy situation on the corresponding section of the road. Stationary systems and / or mobile means of applying the reagent are made with the possibility of proactive application of the anti-icing reagent to the mentioned corresponding area (see patent RU 63091, IPC G08B 19/02 (2006.01), E01H 10/00 (2006.01), 2007).

A known method of automatic processing of the pavement deicing agent and a stationary system for its implementation. In a known method, environmental parameters and/or the condition of the road surface are measured on the controlled section of the road by means of meteorological sensors and/or sensors of the road surface condition installed along the road. The obtained data is sent to the control terminal, the received parameters are processed and analyzed with subsequent determination of the increase in the probability of ice formation in the controlled area. In the case of an increase in such a probability, the specified distribution density of the reagent is calculated by sending an address signal to the actuators of the spray heads by means of the control terminal, ensuring their activation in any sequence to apply the anti-icing reagent with a given density. The system includes interconnected control terminals, meteorological sensors and/or road surface condition sensors located along certain sections of the road, and spray heads. The spray heads are installed on hydraulic lines along the road. The sensors are configured to measure environmental parameters and/or the state of the road surface on the controlled section of the road and transmit the obtained data to the control terminal. The control terminal is configured to determine, on the basis of processing and analysis of the mentioned data, an increase in the probability of an icy situation in the controlled area. In the case of determining the increase of such a probability, the control terminal calculates the specified distribution density of the reagent and sends an address signal to the actuators of the spray heads for applying the reagent with a given density. The heads are made with the possibility of inclusion in any sequence (see patent RU 2287635, IPC E01H 10/00 (2006.01), 2006).

A common disadvantage of the above solutions is that automated and information systems are not interconnected, that is, they do not allow for complex processing of information from all monitoring and control points on the composition and condition of all control objects (road sections, road structures, roadside service facilities). and others). In other words, data from various monitoring complexes are not integrated into a single system, which leads to the impossibility of optimizing management processes. Their most important drawback is also that, unlike the automated control system (ACS) for the road complex, they do not build the process of developing routes for special equipment, do not offer measures to prevent the occurrence of dangerous situations, and do not optimize and calculate the necessary equipment and means used. small-scale mechanization for a given road network. Also, the known systems listed above suggest the possibility of organizing the maintenance of roads exclusively in winter, while the ACS system is designed for year-round use.

The technical problem solved by the invention is the implementation of complex processing of information from all monitoring and control points on the composition and status of all objects of control, the prevention of an emergency by creating algorithms for the production of work, continuous quality control and reducing the costs of enterprises for the maintenance of roads through centralization, automation and optimization of the management of production bases, a fleet of special machines and equipment, optimization and calculation of the necessary equipment and small-scale mechanization for the effective maintenance of roads in winter and summer, early elimination of the causes of dangerous situations.

In FIG. 11 shows an example of the location of an active sensor for determining the crystallization point of a liquid on the surface of a highway.

In FIG. 12 shows the principle of operation of the system in winter for treating the roadway with anti-icing materials.

1. Sensor: The installed sensor monitors the local freezing point of precipitation, taking into account the residual amount of previously distributed reagents on the road and transmits the received data to the weather station

2. Weather station: The weather station summarizes the data received from the sensor on a specific section of the road with general climatic parameters and transmits a signal to the system

3. Dispatcher: The signal is sent to the dispatcher and the system, having automatically determined the readiness category, transmits the instruction directly to the driver of the RC, this stage can also be performed automatically without the participation of the dispatcher

4. Equipment: The equipment installed on the KDM changes the operating parameters depending on the condition of a particular section of the road

Fig. 13 shows the main difference in the operation of the ACS system in comparison with the process of work without using such a system in winter:

Red shows a decision-making scheme without sensors, when, focusing on weather station data, with expected cold and precipitation, de-icing reagents are evenly applied throughout the canvas.

Blue shows the scheme of operation of the proposed system with sensors.

The main difference between the operation of the ACS system in comparison with the process of work without using such a system in winter is as follows:

1. When using a decision-making scheme without sensors, road companies are guided by weather station data in case of expected cold and precipitation, evenly applying anti-icing agents over the entire roadway (determining the required dosage of anti-icing agents based on their experience, that is, not always accurately and correctly). For example, we have initial data: according to the forecast of weather stations, a cyclone is approaching and a decrease in temperature is expected. Decision tree without sensors:

- We focus on weather station data

- The weather station reports that cold and precipitation are expected

- The de-icing agent is distributed according to existing specifications evenly throughout the road

- High waste of resources

2. Scheme of operation of the proposed system with sensors: taking into account the data of the weather station, when making a decision, we additionally focus on data from active sensors. Sensors report what dose of reagent is needed in the near future and in which area to prevent ice. The reagent is distributed in the amount required for each specific area. That is, the decision-making scheme with the proposed system will be as follows:

- We focus on additional data from active road sensors that accurately determine the freezing point

- The sensor tells you what dosage of the reagent is needed in the near future to prevent the formation of ice in a particular area

- Anti-icing agent is distributed in the amount necessary for each specific road section

- Additional resource savings will be 15-20%

In FIG. 14 shows an example of the interaction of the ACS system 1 with weather stations 20,21. Weather stations 20,21 collect information from:

atmospheric sensors 22;

measuring blocks 23;

active road sensors 24 built into the roadway.

Photo 1 shows screenshots of the mobile application. The mobile app completely duplicates the PC version and includes the same features.

Photo 2 shows screenshots of an example of the command line of the ACS Center. Example of text message notifications on a mobile device connected to the Analytics Center.

Table 1 shows an example of a statistical report on the operation of a piece of mobile equipment for November 2021.

Devices and installations can be integrated into the automated control system, both stationary (for example, warning systems for difficult road conditions installed on the road, automatic anti-icing systems, as well as installations for the preparation of brine and other equipment installed on the basis of the enterprise), and mobile (equipment / equipment for maintenance and repair of roads). As a result, a graphical representation of various processes is produced in real time, operational reports are created for all machines, devices and resources managed by the system, and, if necessary, alarms / warnings about the possibility of a dangerous situation are generated and sent to responsible employees.

ACS constantly receives and processes messages and transmitted data in order to monitor, analyze the operation of machines in real time and independently recognize the possibility of dangerous situations. Transmission and reception of data between the system and subsystems can be carried out via a dedicated line or via GSM/GPRS.

The sequence of actions during the operation of the system may look like this:

ACS receives and accumulates information due to communication with the outside world through the Subsystems and uses the Statistical Database;

The data is sent to the Analytical Center;

The ACS Center performs calculations and offers optimal solution algorithms;

Executive bodies - mobile, stationary equipment, mobile group receive specific instructions for the performance of work;

The analytical center processes the results of the work of the executive bodies and generates a statistical report (an example - see Table 1); in the case of the population or the customer, the response is formed and sent using the data of the Statistical Database.

Thus, the introduction of automated control systems allows expanding the functionality of road complex management systems, which consists in providing the ability to control numerous data, analyze data and develop optimal management decisions and allows you to provide:

automatic issuance of tasks and online control of work execution;

care for the environment by reducing the amount of reagents used and CO and NOx emissions;
