Analysis of Reliability Indicators of Engineering Networks

In the paper we consider the tasks of designing engineering communications networks under various re-strictions. Since engineering communications are laid on the terrain with various physical and geological factors, natural and situational conditions, it is advisable to take the relia-bility of its functioning as an important criterion. The task of network optimization is considered for the first time in terms of displaying the utility communication along the se-lected routes in a three-dimensional space, taking into account various existing communications and facilities, as well as terrain elevations. The paper presents the problems of network optimization in both continuous and discrete for-mulation. Various indicators of reliability of engineering networks functioning are considered and analyzed.
