ANALYTICAL JUSTIFICATION OF THE OPTIMAL TIME FOR CHANGE OF GUARDS ON DUTY IN FIRE SERVICE DIVISIONS

There are historically established approaches for solving various issues, in particular, to determining the change of guard on duty time in the context of operative activities of fire service divisions. The use of new mathematical methods and information technologies allows considering in detail the advisability of choosing the time of changing of guard, as well as its impact on other aspects of activities of fire service divisions. The article describes the main methodological approaches for solving the problem, in particular, using the tools of the R software environment.
