DEVELOPMENT OF A CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE SAFETY OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION

The paper proposes the architecture of an integrated system designed to ensure the safety of transportation of radioactive materials, taking into account the risks of shelling in the area of active hostilities. Particular attention is paid to threats that may arise from artillery and missile attacks, sabotage, or the use of electronic warfare by the enemy. The developed system provides for a multi-level approach to security, including both technical monitoring tools and algorithms for analytical forecasting of hazards along the route. The system is designed to monitor the key parameters of the cargo, the vehicle itself, and the chosen route, using accurate GPS navigation. This allows not only to determine the current location of the vehicle, but also to analyze the safety of the chosen route, taking into account the current military situation. Information about the condition of the cargo and vehicle parameters is transmitted in real time to the central control center, which allows for a prompt response to any changes or possible threats. Thanks to the early warning system, the proposed architecture allows detecting potential threats of shelling even before the vehicle enters the danger zone. When approaching high-risk areas, the system automatically activates enhanced security protocols, and in the event of a direct attack, it immediately transmits an alarm to the relevant services. This significantly increases the chances of cargo and crew safety. The main advantage of the system is the redundancy of communication channels, which involves the use of GSM and Starlink technologies. This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of communication loss due to possible signal jamming or damage to ground infrastructure. Additionally, the system provides for automatic switching between communication channels in case of interference or threat of their destruction. To implement the system, we developed software and hardware solutions that meet modern security standards and technological requirements. The use of such tools allows for comprehensive control of transportation parameters, reduces the risk of unauthorized interference and increases the efficiency of management in combat conditions.
