MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE LIFE CYCLE

The publication is devoted to the creation of the concept of the life cycle of vehicles of different levels of automation. The article analyzes many years of experience in production, operation and utilization of vehicles. The authors propose the transition to the recycling of parts and components of vehicles at the last stage of the life cycle (utilization). The purpose of writing the paper is to publish proposals for a new approach to analyzing the life cycle of vehicles for passenger transportation as the level of their automation increases. The scientific novelty consists in the development of the concept and mathematical model of the life cycle of vehicles of different levels of automation, containing a recycling stage, which allows to recycle parts/components of vehicles, and the obtained raw materials to be used in the production of new samples of vehicles.
