The geography of Kazakhstan is characterized by a diverse landscape and a small population. Therefore, certain automobile roads pass through unpopulated mountain regions, where physical road diagnostics are rare or almost absent, while landscape factors continue to affect the road. However, modern geo-information approaches and remote sensing could effectively provide the road diagnostics necessary to make timely control decisions regarding a road’s design, construction, and maintenance. To justify this assumption, we researched the deformation of a mountain road near Almaty city. Open access satellite images of and meteorological archival data for the region were processed. The resulting data were compared to validate the road’s deformation triggers. Extreme weather conditions’ impacts could be identified via road destruction (nearly 40 m longitudinal cracks, 15 m short transversal cracks, and two crack networks along a 50 m road section). The remotely sensed parameters (vertical displacement velocity, slope exposure, dissections, topographic wetness index, aspect, solar radiation, SAVI, and snow melting) show the complexity of triggers of extensive road deformations. The article focuses only on open access data from remote sensing images and meteorological archives. All the resulting data are available and open for all interested parties to use.

Along now being constructed Western Europe to Western China (WEWC) Corridor big territories are totally uninhabited. It leads to absents of any central power supply. While transport infrastructure and control on the highways should be provided. The article is devoted to autonomous power grid of such road unit as a transport control post “Rubej”. Firstly, the scientific analysis of renewable energy sources of the republic of Kazakhstan and justification of exact power plants for the post is provided. After that the research is focused on a principle of power grid control. The “Multi-agent system” (MAS) technique was proven to be promising approach to the smart grid’s design. The one of the recently offered MAS techniques is the Holonic architecture. While it was adjusted only for power grids with central grid connection. In the article autonomous smart grid based on Holonic approach is offered and described. The optimization problem for the control of autonomous small-sized smart grid is reckoned. The achieved results can ease the control system’s design and scaling process, as it should be provided even for small-sized grids. In the end financial actuality is proved.
