Development of an algorithm for the uniform distribution of maintenance of communications and automation equipment

Subject of research: calculations on discrete mathematical structures. Purpose of research: to develop an algorithm for optimizing the distribution of types of maintenance of communications and automation in the departments of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. Methods and objects of research: the article considers the possibility of improving the planning of maintenance measures for communications and automation equipment used in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in solving tasks assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is noted that in modern conditions, careful planning of all operations and activities carried out by technical specialists in the departments of internal affairs bodies is necessary. It is indicated that due to the employment or shortage of technical personnel, events may occur related to poor-quality implementation of technical support measures. It is proposed to use the average absolute error (MAE) as a criterion for the uniformity of distribution, taking into account both positive and negative deviations in the duration of maintenance by month during the calendar year. Main results of research: an algorithm for the uniform distribution of types of maintenance has been developed, the possibility of its application in the departments of internal affairs bodies has been shown are presented using the example of the equipment of the situation center of the Voronezh Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the limitations of the application of the developed algorithm have been determined.
