Modelling of Eastern Polygon Section Operation using Modelling of Stations and Sections Program in Train Driving Disturbance Conditions

As a result of the operation analysis of the Eastern Polygon section, an increase in the number of breaks in train schedules for the current track maintenance has been found. The reasons for the decrease in carrying capacity have been identified. The concept of the 'normal' mode of train driving is defined. The modelling was carried out using the Modelling of Stations and Sections Program. The article justifies the application rationality of the Automatic Locomotive Signalling System with Mobile Block Sections.
Keywords: Modelling of Stations and Sections Program, 'normal' mode of train driving

On the Issue of Creating and Rational Placement of Marshalling Capacities in Railway Junctions for Local Car Traffic Processing

The article examines the features of the making up the local freight trains. The authors have carried out an analytical review of theoretical studies in the field of calculation, design, and application of shunting facilities to intensify the process of making up the local trains. The application of Dijkstra's algorithm is proposed for an alternative choice of location of a specialised marshalling station at the railway junction.

Analysis Method of Systems with Parameters Changing According to Complex Law

The article considers the class of systems with variable parameters, which also includes transport systems. An essential factor for the analysis of such nonstationary systems is the law of parameter variation, which reflects the nature, speed, frequency, and amplitude of parameter variation. The authors propose an approach based on the system definition by a linear differential equation with time-dependent variable coefficients.
Keywords: parametric oscillations, nonstationary transport systems, Laplace transform

Design Improvement of Traction Electric Motors of Electric Locomotives Operated in Northern Direction of Eastern Polygon

An analysis of the reliability of the traction electric motors of electric locomotives of the Eastern Polygon is given. The reduced reliability of the insulation of the traction electric motors of VL85, 2ES5K, 3ES5K, and 4ES5K electric locomotives was established. It was revealed that the reason for the decrease in failure-free operation of traction electric motors is the transition from parallel ventilation, which provides the necessary heat output from the armature, main and additional poles, and compensation windings to non-parallel. A transition from non-parallel to parallel ventilation is proposed.
Keywords: Eastern Polygon of Russian Railways, electric locomotives, traction electric motors, ventilation imperfection

Calculation of Reliability Indices of Transport Infrastructure Facilities in Terms of Failure Category Based on Data on Third Category Failures

The article deals with the issue of incidents arising during the operation of railway transport and infrastructure. The incidents that lead to the loss of train-hours are called failures, and they are divided into three categories. The authors proposed a methodology for calculating the reliability indicators for failures of the third category, which makes it possible to assess the quality of the functioning of transport infrastructure facilities.
Keywords: failure, transport infrastructure facilities, reliability, railway automation and telemechanics

Subsystem for Monitoring of Sequential Occupancy and Release of Inductive Loop Sensors in Railway Crossing Occupancy Monitoring System

This article is devoted to the creation and operation description of the subsystem for monitoring the sequential occupation and release of the coverage area of inductive loop sensors by motor transport in case of their unauthorised movement in a railway crossing. This control subsystem allows the timely transmission of relevant information to locomotive crews about approaching trains and reduces the emergency probability.

Resource Prediction Techniques of Components and Parts of Railway Rolling Stock Using Machine Learning. Data Validation and Processing

This article covers an important step in the processing of data from the Calipri-Ferberg CW-40 (CALIPRI), namely verification and preprocessing. This stage critically affects the quality of machine learning, since the accuracy of the data directly affects the analytical and model results. The main stages of data validation and preprocessing are discussed.

Principal Trends in Improving Suburban Transportation Services for Suburbanised and Non-Urbanised Agglomerations

Nowadays, suburbanised structures are being formed that have various geometric shapes. The article considers measures to attract passenger traffic through zones of ulterior flows. In these areas, special transport systems should be used, guaranteeing, on the one hand, convenience and comfort for passengers, and, on the other, efficient use of resources and reduction of service costs.

Approach to Monitoring Electric Trains at Entrance to Block Section

The article considers the control method of traffic lights standing at the entrance to the block section of the railway track, which record the moment the train arrives at this block section, if it is electrified. The authors propose a new solution for fixing the moment of arrival of the train on the stage by replacing the rail circuit as a source of information with an electromagnetic sensor located next to the contact wire in the area of the beginning of the block section.
