This publication put the accent on strategical problems in information transmission. The analysis is based on substantially different structure between classical (bit) and quantum information unit (qubit). The scientific methodology used in this publication is relatively new (single qubit transfer based on no-cloning theorem). Important part of publication is devoted to solving problems where quantum information processing offers much more prolific solutions than classical information processing. From practical point of view, the advances of quantum based information technologies have been presented.
The availability of real-time data on the state of railway facilities and the state-of-the art technologies for data collection and analysis allow transition to the fourth generation maintenance. It is based on the prediction of the facility functional safety and dependability and the risk-oriented facility management. The article describes an approach to assessing the risks of hazardous facility failures using the latest digital data processing methods. The implementation of this approach will help set maintenance objectives and contribute to the efficient use of resources and the reduction of railway facility managers’ expenditures.
