New algorithm is described in the third part of the paper. It uses method of energy windows and is based on iterative scheme. Values of smoothing and thresholds are optimized in each energy window and time step during of movement of transport through control zone. Some parameters of monitor which are measured on the place of its installation or manufacturing are used as input information.
