The article is dedicated to the development of an automated system aimed at creating a program of works for the maintenance of road surfaces. The system is based on data from the diagnostics and assessment of the technical condition of roads, in particular data on the assessment of the International Roughness Index (IRI). The development of a program of works for the maintenance of road surfaces is carried out based on the analysis of the IRI assessment both in the short term and on the time horizon of the contractor's work under the contract. The system is developed on the principle of modular programming, where one of the modules uses polynomial regression to predict the IRI assessment for several years ahead. The analysis of the deviation of the predicted IRI value from the actual one is the basis for the selection of works included in the program. The financial module allows the system to comply with the budget framework limited by the contract and provides an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of planning by calculating the difference between the cost of road surface maintenance and the contract value. Practical studies demonstrate that the system is capable of effectively and efficiently planning road surface maintenance works in accordance with the established contract deadlines.

Reinforced concrete structures must have sufficient reliability throughout their entire service life. In problems related to predicting service life based on an assessment of the technical condition, reliability can be considered as the probability of failure-free operation of structures, which consists in the ability to perform the required functions under given conditions during the design life.

To implement effective adhesion of reinforcement to concrete, a large number of different types of periodic reinforcement profiles have recently been developed, the control of geometric parameters of which presents serious difficulties and allows for a high probability of measurement error. The urgency of the problem is due to the need to improve methods for measuring the geometric dimensions of reinforcement with a complex periodic profile in order to increase the accuracy of results along the entire length of the rod, the ability to measure the angles of inclination of axes, protrusions and dents, identify places of geometric stress concentrators to ensure the necessary quality of the finished product, reliable adhesion of reinforcement to concrete, increase the durability of reinforced concrete structures and products. The paper proposes a new method for measuring geometric parameters based on removing replicas from the surface of the reinforcement in different sections along the length of the rod. The analysis of prints presented in an expanded, flat form is carried out using counting and measuring devices, which significantly improves the accuracy and comparability of measurements, including angular dimensions. The use of modern optical devices and software for them helps to reduce the time for determining and visualizing geometric parameters, and improve measurement accuracy, which is measured in microns. The analysis of the obtained results showed an increase in the accuracy of measurements by removing replicas of geometric parameters of samples by 10-16.5% compared with traditional control methods. The developed method simplifies the measurement process, allows the use of alternative measuring instruments, a combination of calculation and instrument measurement methods.
