The processes of value changing of the restitution coefficient in a direct сentral impact of deformable bodies are presented, because values of the  restitution coefficient are necessary for calculation the  striker dynamics and  the tool in the construction mechanisms and mining machines. The of kinetic energy loss of the colliding bodies after each impact is interrelated with the  module of the restitution coefficient , which can vary for the same material  from 0 to 1 at a different geometry of the interacting bodies .The analysis of  the coefficient changes because of the recovery factor from the geometry of  the colliding bodies is shown. At low impact velocities, when the bodies have  the same shape and weight or when they hit the rob or the globe on a  massive and hard obstacle, the recovery factor is approximately equal 1.  When short rod hits to long and with the same diameters and the materials  of the bodies, the restitution coefficient is equal the ratio of the lengths of the rods and it is also equal zero at impact of the rod on a thin plate. It is  more rational to determine the restitution coefficient experimentally for  bodies of complex shape. Experimental setup for determination of the  recovery coefficient is observed, when it is theoretically difficult to calculate,  especially at small impact velocities on horizontal and vertical stands or at  medium and high speeds, or in Koper, operating on the principle of  accumulation of energy for the shot. It is possible to vary not only the  different geometry and materials of the colliding bodies, but also their convergence rate before contact.

Introduction: the main feature of operation of cranes-pipe layers is work in difficult ground conditions, which significantly affects the operating mode of  the machine. This factor is one of the main reason leading to the rocking of  the load on the crane-pipe laying machine gibbet and as a consequence it leads to emergency and contingency situations. In the research the forced  vibration of the load on the crane-pipe layer gibbet and the causes of their  occurrence and the problems to which they lead are observed. Engineering  solutions of predecessors are considered. A new approach to the solution of these problems is proved.

The most common method of controlling the motor oil detergent-dispersant properties is the «drop sample» method (the applying process of the engine  oil drop to the filter paper -»blue tape» and the calculating process of the  drop sample with an oil stain characteristics). The characteristic zones’ size and the entire oil stain depends on the engine oil condition, but the  amount of applied engine oil is affected to the large extent by the size of the  oil stain. The stability of the oil droplet mass increases the monitoring  accuracy of the engine oil. The article clarifies how much the motor oil  droplet mass varies when applied by the same way. The simple and low-cost  products are used to apply the motor oil drop. The evaluation is carried out  by measuring the certain number of drops masses on high-precision scales.  The errors which occur when the engine oil drop is applied to the filter  paper-»blue tape» and their influence on the final result are estimated. The  conclusions about the significance of the motor oil droplet mass changing which could influence on the characteristic zones’ size of the drop sample are made.

Introduction. In the practice of the motor transport enterprise (ATP) of the city of Omsk, the largest number of contracts falls on transportation of goods in the city and in intercity communication. For the current planning, the  technotransfinplan technique is used, in which no distinctions are made  between plans for the transport of goods in the city and in long-distance  communication, since all calculations are performed on the hourly rolling  stock performance. The actual results of ATP work do not correspond to the  planned indicators. ATP activities are carried out in conditions of uncertainty  under the influence of random factors and the principles of system analysis  that were implemented in specific situations at the time of their creation can  not be applied in the methodology of the current planning of cargo ATP operation in modern conditions.

Materials and methods.The methodological basis for conducting experimental and theoretical studies in this paper is a systematic analysis.  The structural-functional representation about the object is used for the  study, and the model for the analysis of the labor process serves as the basis for the decomposition, and takes into account the ATP operation in the current mode.

Results. The use of the system analysis allowed to develop a general scheme of the research, which includes theoretical and experimental  research. The aim of the research and the concept of the methodology for the current planning of the cargo ATP are formulated.

Conclusions.The implementation of the developed methodology in the practice of ATP in the transportation of goods in the city and in intercity  communication will allow to fulfill the terms of contracts and to profit the ATP due to the interrelation of commercial and technical exploitation.

Examines factors affecting the condition of the engine and car  battery. The analysis of factors influencing starting of the vehicle in  conditions of low negative temperatures. The degree of influence of internal  resistance of the battery to start the vehicle. The article deals with the  problem associated with the operation of the car in conditions of low negative temperatures, the necessity of taking special measures to maintain  the optimum temperature regime of the battery is justified. The analysis of  the factors influencing the launch of the car in conditions of low negative  temperatures is carried out. The factors affecting the state of the vehicle’s  battery are considered. The influence of the value of the internal resistance  of the battery on the power indicators of the electric starter system and,  accordingly, on the probability of starting the engine of the car is shown. To confirm the theoretical assumptions, experimental investigations were  carried out, during which the dependences of the internal resistance of the  battery on the temperature of the electrolyte and the degree of its charge  were obtained. According to the results of the study, it is proposed to use a  device that provides pre-start preparation of the battery to increase the probability of starting the engine in conditions of low negative temperatures.

Introduction. For increasing the efficiency of natural ventilation systems, it is possible to use the thermal incentives - additional heating of the exhaust  ventilation duct, which allows to expand temperature difference between  ambient and exhaust air and to increase the circulation effect. This method  enables stable air exchange in hot period, independently of the wind  direction force. However, existing systems have several limitations of  application in the high-rise apartment building in countries with a cold climate. The aim of the study is to develop a thermal inducement  ventilation systems, suitable for typical residential apartment buildings in russian climate.

Results. The article theoretically proves the disadvantages of existing thermal inducement ventilation systems. The article also presents the results  of numerical modeling of natural convection currents in the high-rise  apartment building. The dependence of outlet velocity on temperature  difference for various heating methods is proved on the basis of the research.

Conclusion. The results of the research illustrate the high level of the heating area location influence on free convection currents in vent duct.

The article considers the variants of profiled sheeting application as permanent formwork in monolithic and precast-monolithic designs of overlappings. Their advantages and disadvantages are described. The proposed method of improvement is presented, the results of which is a new structure overlapping with the lower vaulted surface. The influence of the spacer efforts, which were previously obtained by the method of calculation is realized in the structure of floors with the lower vaulted surface. The research presents experimental studies of the fragments overlap slightly deepened underground pedestrian crossings with the lower vaulted surface. The test circuit corresponding to the overlap with the lower vaulted surface in different structural systems is reviewed. The values of thrust, in arched fragments of the slab from uniformly distributed and concentrated loads. The comparison of experienced and theoretical values of thrust obtained by previously proposed methods is made.

The natural vibration frequencies’ calculation of the pedestrian bridges’ span structures is still practically valued. Such factors as dynamic effects,  elements’ structural features, the neglection of which is the norm in the  classical hinge-rod model of the span structure, provide a significant  influence on the dynamic characteristics of the longitudinal girders. Not  taking into account the real conditions of the span structure supporting leads  to the appearance in them of the vertical oscillations’ period in an unacceptable interval of 0.45 ... 0.60 s (in accordance with  SP35.13330.2011). The appropriate preliminary calculations in engineering  practice are based on approximate methods. However, the existing methods  for determining the values of the oscillations’ intrinsic period of the span structures, which are based on the simplifications and the assumptions, have the significant calculation error. The research suggests the approximate method for determining the values of the intrinsic oscillations’ period of the span supported structures with the rubber-metal support parts. The proposed method is based on the work [1], the calculation scheme is also  defined, the most accurate analytical expressions are also obtained on the  differential equation solution basis. The longitudinal beams of the flyover  along the M-60 «Ussuri» highway, in Khabarovsk-Vladivostok section 747- 750 km of the PK 156 + 132 are calculated as an example in the research.

The active introduction of geosynthetic materials into road construction as the reinforcing structural elements of pavements, restrains by the absence of the evidently-based and experimentally confirmed theory of calculation of  pavements with reinforcing layers. The results of the two-layered base made of crushed stone and sand, which are reinforced by geogrid with steel  fibers in a polyethylene sheath are presented in the article. The deformation  of the reinforced structure regularities are revealed and the deformation  characteristics are obtained. The calculations model of reinforced layer made  of the crushed stone is considered as the multilayered plate on the elastic  basis, which consists of any layers number, which are rigidly linked among  themselves. The lower layer with reinforcement has the physicomechanical  characteristics which are determined by Foygt’s averaging method and which is significantly different from characteristics of overlying layers. The  sand layer performs the role of the elastic basis. This calculations model may be used for the «without reinforcement construction». Thus the lower  reinforcing layer and the layers, which are located in tensile zone are  excluded from the calculation scheme. The Bubnov-Galerkina’s method is  used for the calculation of the multilayered plate on the elastic basis. The  proved coincidence of theoretical and experimental results is received. The reinforcing effect on deflections is established in the research.

The research of the HPS effectiveness and the area of their application because of the wide application in the construction of hinged facade systems  (NFS) with a ventilated air interlayer is actual nowadays. The fullscale experimental study of the temperature change in the facade height  in the summer period is carried out. The differential equation for the  distribution of temperature along the interlayer height is used for the process of the experimental data. To simplify the processing of the  experimental data, in this differential equation the variability is made. The  equation contains two parameters, which depend on the temperature of the  outside  solution. The equation is represented in finite differences and by  means of such equation the determination of the parameters of the equation  from the experimental data is obtained. The calculation of the differential equation with the found parameters is presented. The calculations from the  obtained equation are compared with the experimental data. The comparative analysis shows an acceptable error between calculated and experimental data. The developed technique for the equation parameters’  determination makes it possible to find the numerical values of the air gap  characteristics, which would increase the calculations’ accuracy for the operational HFS parameters’ determination in their thermal performance.

The article provides the results of the analysis of normative, scientific Russian and International literature on the issues of the features of the  formation and functioning sustainable street network, also the classification  of urban streets is presented. The generalized street classification is formed on the basis of the analysis results, and the approach to street  design as multimodal communications and public spaces is presented. On the example of international practice, the features of sustainable street network  formation in accordance with principles of green urban mobility in different  types of urban environment are studied. The mixed-use development pattern of the city center is chosen as an experimental research site, because the  solution of the issues in the city center is one of the most complex task for  transportation planning. As a result of approbation of urban street  classification and street design approach on the example of Irkutsk city  center, the following street types are proposed: urban avenue, multimodal streets and preferential streets. The results of the research present a good example of the street redesign solutions for the transport management  and future green transportation system development.

About 45% of the ashes slag is formed by the burning process. The carbon residuum’ destination is the main problem question while using the slag in  the solution and in the concrete as the technogenic ground and so on. Some  researches show that such residuum worsen the slag’s quality. But other researches present their minimal influence on the material properties. On the results of the thermal analysis, the low-temperature  desorption argon’s method and chemical analysis, it is concluded that the  p.p.p. size couldn’t characterize ashes’ appropriateness for the construction  purposes, while such carbon residuum characteristics as corrosion stability to the water, air, alkali and acidity are not considered. The danger of the carbon residuum is determined not by their quantity, but by their quality. Despite of the carbon particles’ increasing to the 4-8 one in the  carbon residuum while the burning process, the maintenance of the soluble part decrease to the 2-5 ones.

The permissible deviations (limiting errors) are given in the normative documents from the design values of the structural layers of the road clothes construction, but the accuracy standards are not separately for construction  and geodetic work in the construction of bases and coatings. The article  presents the differences in the allowable deviations’ values in SNiPs and in  their updated rules’ editions - codes of rules for the highways construction,  the differences in the sets of road vehicles with automatic and without  automatic systems of specified elevations, the steps of leveling in the design  and the finished construction layers’ acceptance of road clothes. The  discrepancy between the requirements in regulatory documents for the  highway construction, and the requirements in regulatory documents on  geodetic support for the accuracy of construction are shown. The  maintenance of the geodetic control of base unevenness construction and  cover surfaces during the IV and V of public roads’ construction and departmental ones with the road machines’ usage with automatic system of  holding elevations for different coefficients of constructing layers  technological processes in leveling through 5, 10 and 20 m. The values of the errors and maximum distances from  optical levels of the type H-3 are given  for the uneven ground and road surfaces’ dressing control. It is recommended in the research to perform geodetic control for base and cover devices using standard errors with confidence probabilities P = 0,90 and P = 0,95.

The experimental and theoretical research of the single-span reinforced concrete beam with artificial flaw in tension area under the action of static  short-term loads is performed. The stress-strain state of the structure, based on numerical simulation using finite element software system ANSYS,  is investigated. The results of numerical simulation are compared with the experimental results. It is shown that under static short-term loads, the  beams with pre-cracking have the crack formation of significantly different nature in comparison with the beams without pre-cracking. The  comparative analysis of the experimental data of the reinforced concrete  beam under short-term loading with the results of ANSYS Software program  modeling is carried out in the article. The introduction of the artificial defects  to the tension area of beams would lead to the significant change in the  stress- strain state of the structure and to «mild» nature of its deformation.  The result of such beams deflections under the load is less than deflections of beams without artificial flaws. The recommendations on the beams’ designing with artificial flaws are given in the article. The results of  the modeling cracks’ feasibility in the manufacturing process are demonstrated in the research, because there are the possibilities to regulate the stress fields.

The paper analyses the influence of the method for obtaining petroleum road bitumen on the stability of their structure. Stability evaluation is carried out  by studying the resistance of the structure to destructive processes. The  main features of the thermo-oxidative aging processes occurring in oxidized  and residual compounded road bitumen are considered. The modeling of the  thermo-oxidative aging process is carried out by the TFOT method. Studies  of the degradation of binders are carried out over a long period of time, the  evaluation of destructive processes in bitumen is obtained by different  methods was carried out by means of a differential method. The characters  of the change in the properties of bitumen after aging are established. The  contribution of the raw material (oxidized and residual bitumen) of the polymer-bitumen binder to its resistance to thermal and oxidative aging  is studied. The complex effect of the raw material on the properties characterizing the quality of the modified binder and its resistance to  degradation is made using the multicriteria optimization method. Specific  quality criteria has been developed that take into account the structural  sensitivity to destruction and the direction of changes in properties modified  by the polymer, which binds after thermal oxidative aging. Optimization is  carried out according to the generalized criterion of structural stability, the  form of which takes into account the features of the optimized object and the direction of the change in properties.

The problem of planning the motion path of an unmanned vehicle is presented in the article. The results of development and the software  implementation, and the research of the algorithm for constructing quasi- optimal trajectory of an unmanned vehicle in a known environment are  shown. The RRT standard algorithm as the basis for the path construction  between two points is used in the article. To improve the efficiency, the basic  algorithm of the following modifications such as the orientation to the finish  point, the removal of intermediate vertices are introduced. The orientation to the finish point allows to check the possibility of the direct connection to the last point which could be found by the RRT algorithm. The orientation also  reduces the trajectory searching, because the basic RRT algorithm searches  the point until a randomly generated point appears in the vicinity of the  finish line. The deleting process of the intermediate vertices is carried out for such route sections where the trajectory could be straighten by the  intermediate vertices’ removing without crossing the obstacles. The  consideration of the kinematic constraints on the minimum turning radius of  the vehicle, which is based on the Dubins curves is implemented in the  article. As a result of all these algorithm modifications, its performance has  been increased about 30% according to the computer simulation results.

The article is about quality management problem of economics at high education organization in the present market conditions. In the research the  authors had found that all factors that affect to the process of high  educational process management are divided into four main groups - the  factors of the education system, the factors of educational organizations, the  factors of the social environment and the factors of personality  characteristics. The Bologna process, the obsolescence of the special process and the loss of personnel were attributed to the education system  group. Factors of internal (financing, material and technical base, electronic  information and educational environment and personnel) and the external  environment (influence the learner through laws, social policy, values,  norms, traditions, mass media) are refer to the group of educational  organizations. Factors of the social environment include microenvironment  factors, such as family and friends and other social groups, as well as  macroenvironment factors such as culture, economics and demography. Personality influences to the process of management through temperament,  character, abilities and motivation. The factors structure can be used like  effective instrument of organizations and management in high education  organizations of country’s economics in following researches.

The article presents the structural analysis of the Russia inflation in 1992 – 2017 according to Rosstat with the focus on the latest phase of development  in terms of the economical sanctions. The inflation is heterogeneous in its  structure, because of the different degree of elements’ coverage in the  economical system and because of the diverse role of each sector in the  reproduction process. Mechanisms and factors of pricing in various sectors of economy have individual features, and the price ratio between them varies according to changing power of inflation. In this content inflation can classified as systemic and local, balanced and unbalanced. The sector of  inflation can be determined as drivers and outsiders of rising prices. In case  of systemic inflation of the price process, structural parts of the system  would be included. Balanced inflation occurs when the growth equality rates of the final products and rate of prices’ growth would be presented. Price  movement through phases of growth and decline forms a sector with minimum and maximum prices.
