Computer Tools for Cargo Thefts Fighting on Railway Transport
Today Ukraine's railways have significant problems due to cargo thefts during both their transportation and at train stops. Large losses of railways in this case require intensifying the fight against these crimes. The point of the research is that for the first time, in order to combat the encroachment on the cargo, it is proposed to create a network of weigh checkpoints (WCP) on the railroad. Such WCP network automatically controls the actual weight of goods in cars along the train without moving them, and compares it with the accompanying data documents for cargo. Then results of the control are transmitted in the direction of train movement via electronic communication. In the case of a discrepancy between the indications of WCP device and the accompanying information about the load, there is a fixed shortage of cargo in the carriage. The optimization of WCP general demand on the railways in practice enables to use the research carried out by law enforcement officers as means for the effectively combat the railway crime.
