The article discusses the application of intelligent transport systems for railway transport. The purpose of developing intelligent transport systems on railway transport is to strictly comply with the requirements for ensuring transport safety, reducing the level of environmental impact, significantly improving the efficiency of production activities. The software makes automatic accounting, control and analysis of fuel and energy resources consumption on the basis of the obtained data. At the same time, the dynamics of changes in fuel consumption indicators, actual and estimated costs of diesel fuel are visually reflected in real time on the monitor screen. If necessary, the system will help to identify the reasons for non-matching of these parameters and quickly contact the locomotive team to provide qualified assistance in their elimination. It is important that the hardware structure and the structure of the system software expand functionality, providing continuous operation and repair work, increasing the number of measured parameters, creating a closed fuel consumption control system in a locomotive economy. The use of these systems makes it possible to obtain an integrated assessment of the heat engineering condition of a locomotive with further scientifically substantiated correction of overhaul runs, to control its location and solve many other problems, which contributes to an increase in overhaul runs and the operational life of the locomotive.
