Determining the dependence of the border control efficiency indicator on the state of functioning of the electronic communications system

Abstract

The article proposes an indicator of the effectiveness of the border control as one of the types of operational and service activity of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, particularly it is about the probability of the violator passing through the checkpoint across the state border. It was determined the dependence of the above-mentioned indicator on the state of functioning of electronic communications system of the Agency. According to the current legislation, the State Border Service of Ukraine is a subject of integrated border management. In order to ensure the performance of assigned functions, in the operational and service activities of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine are widely used information and communication systems, in particular, the information and communication system of border control. The probability of the violator passing through the checkpoint across the state border depends on many factors, including the presence of a record about the violator in the database of the “Hart-1” software and technical complex operating at the checkpoint. The absence of the specified record can occur for various reasons, such as: operator error when entering into the database, inspector’s error when registering the identity, malfunction of the software and technical complex itself, failure to deliver the record from the central data storage to the database of the complex due to malfunction of the electronic communications system. The study analyzed the state of functioning of the electronic communications system in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and it was defined the analytical expression for calculating the probability of the absence of information about the violator in the database, taking into account the state of functioning of the network component of the system of electronic communications.
