More than 11,000 trains with increased weight and length have been assembled
and passed in just the 4 months of this year. Almost 5 million tons of
national-economic freight above the norm was transported on these trains.

The railroad's electrification workers, who mobilized the collectives of
the electric power sectors and the service specialists to search out
resources and potentials for running trains with increased weight and
length, also made a significant contribution to carrying out this
experiment.

Electrification of the Moscow Railroad is continuing.

The 2x25 kW sector Vyaz'ma-Krasnoye which is being electrified according
to a new ac current system will be accepted for operation this year.

The volume of work planned for the fourth year of the five-year plan by
socialist commitments is large, but the railroad collective intends to
perform this work ahead of time.

SOVIET CIVIL AVIATION DEVELOPMENTS DISCUSSED
Paris AIR & COSMOS in French 23 Feb 80 pp 36, 48

[Text] A. Nazarov, first deputy minister of civil aviation, USSR, announced
that the high-capacity, four-engine jet aircraft, the I1-86, will be placed

- in regular service on Soviet air routes next July. Mr. Nazarov specified
that the airliner, equipped to carry 350 passengers, will be used first on
routes linking Moscow with the spas and seaside resorts of the Crimea and
the Caucasus.

Since the beginning of the plan (in 4 years) Aeroflot has transported 393
million passengers and 11 million metric tons of freight. This year the
Soviet company expects to transport more than 103 million passengers, which
corresponds to a traffic volume of 159 billion passenger-kilometers. Besides
the 11-86, the Yak-42 (120 passengers) and the Czechoslovakian 1-410, a

new STOL version of which is currently being tested, will be placed in reg-
ular service.

Mr Nazarov stressed that civil aviation is one of the most rapidly growing
branches of Soviet activity; but some deficiencies are pointed out, namely
with regard to non-mainteaance of schedules: 12 percent of these cases are
attributable to Aeroflot personnel. The average delay in baggage delivery,
which was 30 to 40 minutes 3 years ago, has been reduced to 15 minutes. A
new automated passenger reservation system, the ASY-5, will be placed in
service and will replace the Sirene system.

It is noted that the Aeroflot leaders no longer make any references to the
TU-144.

In 1977 the Omsk Promavtomatika [Industrial Automation] SKB be-
gan to develop an automated dispatching system for intracity
freight transfers (ASDU-GP) for Alma-Ata, The introduction of
this system will make it possible to improve transport utiliza-
tion efficiency by improving the quality of the planning of
freight motor vehicle operations.

In the near future we are faced with developing and introducing
a complex of assignments for the automated control system for
the pickup and delivery of containers, railway car and small
shipments, and bulk cargoes at the railroad yards in Alma-Ata.

Further development of the branch automated control system and
the organization of information facilities should be based on
automated data banks that make it possible to eliminate dupli-
cation in information collection and provide for a systems ap-
proach to the solution of problems, A data bank will make it
possible to collect, store and retrieve information and should
be the main component of the system. What we are talking about
here is that on the basis of computer technology, we need to
move on to the creation of a republic automated control system
for the national economy of the Kazakh SSR (RASU Kazakh SSR).

The creation of an automated control system data bank and the
effectiveness of ASU utilization will depend to a considerable
degree on the introduction into operation of unified documenta-
tion systems (USD) and a unified system for the classification
and encoding of technical and economic information (YeSKK), as
well as the introduction of Unionwide and branch classifiers
for technical and economic information. The GVTs is faced with
developing the order for introducing Unionwide technical and
economic information classifiers (OK TEI), allowing for the use
of State Standrds for the USD,

In accordance with tie decision of the USSR Ccuncil of Minis-
ters' State Committee for Science and Technology for the pur-
pose of implementing a more extensive exchange of experience
among the union republics' motor vehicle transport ministries,
KazNIPIAT [Kazakh Scientific Research and Planning Institute of
Motor Vehicle Transportation] and the GVTs must take upon them-
selves the functions of being the leading performers in the
creation of two systems for motor vehicle transport's general-
purpose OASU: "Prospective Branch Planning" and "Technical and
Economic Planning." Because of this there will be an accelera-
tion of the development of the necessary plans and solutions to
problems related to these subsystems, and parallelism in the
work will be eliminated. In order to carry out the assignments
formulated for them for this and the next five-year plan, the
computation centers will be equipped with the newest high-speed

formulation of plans concerning shipments and the technical and
operating indicators of rolling stock utilization as it applies
to trucks, buses and taxis and the delivery of freight to the
basic clients of ministries and departments, and calculating
requirements for motor vehicles, fuel and lubricating materials.
This makes it possible to raise the level of planning, shorten
the plan development period and insure that our calculations
are of a multivariant type.

With the creation of productive motor vehicle administrations
(associations), the enlargement of motor vehicle transport en-
terprises and the improvement of dispatcher control operations
that resulted from this, it became possible to centralize the
planning and control of both intracity and intraoblast ship-
ments, In this area, a special place is occupied by the solu-
tion of optimization transportation problems with the help of
computers: calculating daily shift assignments for drivers,
drawing up hourly schedules of motor vehicle operation for
grain and sugar beet shipments, securing suppliers for custom-
ers, determining the anount of motor vehicle transport required
for agricultural product shipments and so on,

The operational planning of shipments of brick, gravel, sand
and other cargoes, with publication of the drivers' daily shift
assignments, is now widely used in the branch. Computers are
used to formulate freight delivery routes and publish the re-
sults of operations by motor vehicle makes, with an indication
of empty runs, shipment volume and freight turnover, mileage
utilization, the amount of time rolling stock is in use, and
other indicators, This had made it possible to free dispatch-
ing personnel from the daily planning of transport operations
and to occupy themselves directly with shipment production work.
The daily freight delivery volume, as calculated with the help
of computers, is more than 100,000 tons, Yhe solution of this
problem is causing a significant reduction in nonproductive
freight motor vehicle runs and shoriening the idle time lost
during loading and unloading operations.

Every year there are larger and larger shipments of grain,
sugar beets and other agricultural products from the threshing
floors of farms to the elevators that are made according to

- time schedules worked out on computers. Although these sched-
ules were introduced at only 91 grain-receiving enterprises in
1978, this year they have been implemented at 110. The sched-
ules make it possible to utilize more fully the capacities of
loading and unloading machinery, assign the rolling stock more

- uniformly, and increase the latter's productivity. However,
the effectiveness of time schedules depends on how well the mo-
tor vehicle administrations, farms and procurement organizations

(Article by I. Strel'chenya, chief, Administration for the De-
velopment and Introduction of ASU's, Ministry of Motor Vehicle
Transport, Kazakh SSR: "Using Computers More Effectively" ]

[Text] “One of the ways for improving the management
mechanism is the introduction of automated
control systems (ASU's), as well as the more
rational utilization of the available stock of
electronic computers." (from a speech given
by Comrade D.A. Kunayev, first secretary of

party and management aktiv on 9 October 1979.)

The extensive use of automated production control systems is
playing an important role in the solution of the problems fac-
ing motor vehicle transport in the 10th Five-Year Plan, The
directives of the 25th CPSU Congress specify: "Expand the in-
troduction in the transportation systom of facilities for auto-
mation, remote control and automated systems for controlling
shipments and production processes." This republic's Ministry
of Motor Vehicle Transport's system includes a main computer
center and 14 interconnected information and computation cen-
ters, 4 machine calculating stations, and a bureau that deals
with the motor vehicle administrations. The computation cen-
ters are equipped with 25 second- and third-generation comput-

The software for processing these documents on computers al-
ready exists, but in the writing of the programs a number of
errors were made, as a result of which it is not possible to
achieve a high-quality solution for many problems, In the near
future the GVTs [Main Computer Center] needs to eliminate the
flaws so that we will be able to formulate all the information
needed to analyze statistical and accounting reports, including
the automated formulation of monthly reports, extra salary
charges, fuel and lubricant consumption and so on.

Along with the processing of driver trip tickets and goods
transportation invoices, in all the interconnected information

- and computation centers it is necessary to arrange for comput-
er printouts of bank payment documents and work records. This
will eliminate the need for writing them by hand, The daily
submittal of payment warrants to the State Bank will make it
possible to reduce debt liabilities considerably and speed up
the turnover of our fixed working capital. Timely settlements
will be insured and the financial discipline of the motor vehi-
cle administrations will be strengthened. Besides this, when
the daily duty plans for the motor vehicle operations are being
formulated, it will be possible to allow for the ability to pay
of the client being served and to solve problems about the
feasibility of allocating motor vehicles.

It is necessary to introduce, with the help of computers, the
writing of planned assignments for drivers, work crews and mo-
tor vehicle columns, which will insure the effective organiza-
tion of socialist competition,

In order to monitor the economical consumption of fuel and lu-
bricants, in the near future it is necessary to use computers
to solve the problem of analyzing motor vehicle fuel consump-
tion everywhere that it is possible, so that recommendations

for the redistribution of funds can be made. Along with this,
at all possible points we should introduce automation of the

calculations during the planning of rolling stock maintenance.

For the purpose of implementing operational dispatching of pas-
senger transport in Alma-Ata, the SKB [Special Design Office]
for Industrial Automation in Omsk developed an automated dis-
patching system for urban passenger transport (ASDU-GPT). It
includes an automated dispatching system for urban bus trans-
portation (ASDU-A) and an automated dispatching system for taxi
transportation (ASDU-T),

The first stage of the ASDU-A went into experimental commercial

operation in April 1976, Although it now controls the move-

ments of 900 buses on 65 routes, many problems have not yet

been solved. The introduction into operation of the ASDU-T was
- unjustifiably delayed.

DEVELOPMENT OF MOSCOW RAILROAD SYSTEM

Moscow ELEKTRICHESKAYA I TEPLOVOZNAYA TYAGA in Russian No 8, Aug 79 signed
to press 20 Jul 79 pp 2-5 -

[Article by I. L. Paristyy, head of the Moscow Railroad]

[Excerpts] In recent years, the rate of electrification has been even
higher, and now the extent of electrified lines on the Moscow Railroad
is 3893.6 kilometers. This is approximately 42 percent of the total
length of the line, or 10 percent of the total length of the railroads
served by electric traction.

At the present time, 99.8 percent of all freight shipments on the Capital
Mainline is performed by advanced types of traction.

The specialization of repair centers which has been perfermed here with
3 the aim of reducing the idle time for electric rolling stock under
repair has also played an exceptional role. Now the Rybnoye depot, for
example, repairs only the VL8 electric locomotives and Ozherel'ye the VLIO. -
Matters are the same at other depots as well.

The following data are an indication of the concentration of repair on
the line. The electric locomotives in use at 16 depots undergo hoist-
type repair only at 3 depots, and the electric units from 14 other

= depots are repaired at 4. All of this has permitted repair work to be
significantly better organized. Its quality has been greatly improved
and costs have been reduced.

The theory of reliability as a measure for increasing the efficiency of

locomotive operation, increasing its useful operating time and reducing

the idle time for repairs has found broad application in the system of

electric locmotive repair and maintenance on the line. First at the

Orel, Bryansk II, Rybnoye and Uzlovaya, and then at all other depots,

the ways for improving repair quality and reducing the number of failures
< and breakdown. on the line of travel were determined.

computers from the YeS EVM [Unified System of Computers],
equipment for the preparation and remote processing of data and
other peripheral equipment.

In this respect, the GVTs and the interconnected information
and computation centers need to devote more attention to in-
creasing the productivity of their computers and other hardware
and improve the quality and timely publication of their infor-
mation.

The motor vehicle repair services play an important role in the

with the help of economic and mathematical models and modern
computers are already in existence,

Considerable means have been allocated for the improvement and
further development of the automated control system for motor

are prepared to do their work. Unfortunately, these days not
all motor vehicle administrations take this important question
seriously, The Kustanayskoye Freight Motor Vehicle Administra-
tions Nos 1 and 2, for example, both let things slide. As a
result, the introduction of this progressive method was frus-
trated. Control centers, centralized motor vehicle detachments
and dispatching points on the kolkhozes and sovkhozes were not
even organized. There were no practical lessons given to the
workers at the motor vehicle transport enterprises and the pro-
curement and agricultural organizations.

The work was done no better in the Ural'skoy, Kzyl-Ordinskoye
and Dzhambulskoye Freight and Alma-Atinskoye Oblast Motor Ve-
hicle Administrations,

Motor vehicle transport control is a complicated process.
Therefore, particular attention should be given to an automated
system for the integrated processing of the basic primary docu-
ments that keep track of motor vehicle transport operations:
drivers' trip tickets and goods transportation invoices, It is
when these documents are processed on a timely basis that we
obtain all of the needed information. In the computation cen-
ters there is the technology for performing the necessary daily
operations. Right now documents from 95 enterprises are being
processed on computers, The leaders and services of motor ve-
hicle enterprises are receiving, on a daily basis, such tabu-
lated forms as the record of the fulfillment of the plan for
limited shipments by types of delivery of freight for all min-
istries and departments on a daily basis and with a cumulative
total by volume of shipments and freight turnover for the en-
tire clientele, as well as a daily record of the results of mo-
tor vehicle operations by work crew, column an_ driver.

Two years ago the new instructions "On the Order of Calcula-
tions for Freight Shipments by Motor Vehicle Transport" were
approved, as well as new type forms for goods transportation
invoice and driver trip tickets, the use of which is obligatory
for all enterprises, organizations and institutions, regardless
of their departmental subordination. The documentation can be
processed both by computers and with punchcard tabulating and

1 keyboard machines. Driver trip tickets and the transportation
section of goods transportation invoices are filled out by the
operating service of a motor vehicle transportation enterprise.
The forms must be filled out in strict accordance with the in-
structions. Experience has shown that the dispatching person-
nel of motor vehicle enterprises know very little about the or-
der in waich the documents are filled out. In the final ac-
count, this results in confusion, additional labor on the part
of the dispatchers, and idle time on the computers.

MOSCOW RAILROAD SYSTEM PREPARES FOR OLYMPICS

Moscow ELEKTRICHESKAYA I TEPLOVOZNAYA TYAGA in Russian No 1, Jan 80 p 5

[rticie by P. M. Akulov, Chief of the Locomotive Maintenance Service of
the Moscow Railroad System: “Let's Get Ready for the Olympics"/

[text] Athletes, journalists, members of national committees, and tour-
ists will be coming to Moscow for the Olympic Games from nore than 100 of
the world's countries. Naturally, the Moscow Railroad System is conduct-
ing an intensified, coordinated operation to ensure the. transportation of
the participants and guests of the 22nd Summer Olyapics.

First of all, a calculation was made of the additional need for hauls and
the amount of passenger traffic, as well as for suburban trains. In con-
nection with this, the traffic schedule of passenger trains for 1979--1980
Provided for the following additional main routes: Moacow--Ungeny--Bucha-
rest--Sophia, Moscow--Warsaw--Berlin--Paris, Moscow--Breet--Pragu
~-Kabul--Siret--Bucharest--Belgrade, and Moscow--Chop--Budapes'

In order to meet passenger requirements for suburban trains during the pe-
riod when the Olympic Games are being held, a special schedule has been
worked out. It provides for an increase in the scope of suburban traffic
in the zone of the Moscow complex by 132 trains, along with the lengthen-
ing of 52 routes. :

Moscow's railroad workers began preparing more than two years ago for the
Olympic hauls. A special order by the Railroad System's chief provided for
an entire complex of operations with regard to the construction or moderni-
zation of production enterprises and stations. Moreover, plans were nade

- to renovate the rolling stock, as well to redecorate and landscape the
entrances to the capital,

More than 93 percent of all passenger and suburban hauls on this systen
are carried out by means of electric traction--electric locomotives and
electric trains. Investments in modernizing the Moscow Railroad Center
= alone have amounted to more than 350 million rubles, more than 400 kn of
additional main tracks and new lines have been built, and the approaches

to the center have been furnished with the newest equipment for automating
train traffic.

of individual trains tc the executive management of those enterprises
whose workers regularly utilize the routes in question. More than 50
institutions in the city of Moscow and Moscow Oblast have already taken
368 suburban trains under such control. We should note the active assis-
tance being rendered to our system by the groups of the following enter-
Prises: "Serp 1 Molot," imeni Likhachev, and "Burevestnik."

The group at the Moscow II-Yaroslavskaya Railroad Motorcar Dept has come
out with the initiatives "High standards, good quality, and efficiency

in providing Muscovites with transportation service"; it has been ap-
Proved by the CPSU Moscow Gorkom, the Ministry of Railways, and the Cen-
tral Committee of the Trade Union of Railroad Transportation Workers,

The initiative has gained widespread acceptance at other depots of the
Moscow complex. At the present time a system of monitoring and quality
control of locomotives and railroad motorcar rolling stock is being intro-
duced, and the Luninsk methods of rolling-stock maintenance are deing
revived on a new technological basis.

Among the workers at the Railroad Motorcar Depot of the Moscow Center a
socialist competition has also developed to improve Passenger service.
Locomotive crews of the suburban electric trains are engaged in a struggle
fo the title of "Crew Which Has Guaranteed a High Standard of Passenger
Service,” while repair workers at the railroad motorcar depots are striv-
ing for the title of "Crew Providing Rolling Stock with Excellent Techni-
cal and General Maintenance."

The Moscow Railroad System has now worked out a system of managing the .
Olympic. hauls and a special scheme which provides for an entire procedure
for operational supervision of the hauls. A railroad staff has been cre-
ated, consisting of representatives of all the system's services. And a
group, for passenger hauls and preparing the make-up of trains have been
organized.

Recently, 3,320 kilometers of high-speed suspension with elastic line
have been hung, second insulators have been installed, and the cross-
section of the catenary suspension has been increased by installing

- amplifying lines. Devices to protect the contact cables from burnout
have been installed on the overhead spans. The sectional insulators
have been replaced by fibergl. ones. A armature-less method for joining
the wires of the catenary network, which supply power to the feeder lines,
LEP [Electrical Power Transmission Line] ~6.10 kW is widely used.

Overall methods for repairing the catenary-network equipment, power
equipment and for equipping the traction substations using network
schedules permit us to coordinate maintenance and major repair operations,
reduce labor costs by concentrating the work time of the electricians due
to their performing more than one operation, and it insures the further
growth of labor productivity and increases production efficiency.

Combining jobs and expanding service zones are the most effective measures
for increasing labor productivity. Combining jobs also increases the
flexibility of production control and makes it possible to replace some
workers with others when necessary, which is of. great significance for
jmprovement of labor organization.

The 10th Five-Year Plan is a five-year plan of efficiency and quality. On
the railroad, a method of working on the basis of warranty certificates
is used by the electric-energy-supply sectors. The warranty certificates
are issued for individual pieces of equipment and even for combined
traction substations, sectionalizing points and parallel connection points;
for individual anchor sectors and for open runs of the catenary network;

a for air lines and for individual junctions. Introduction of warranty
certificates increases the responsibility of each member of the brigade

- for the quality of work performed, and it requires improvement of the
technical level and a creative relationship with labor.

- The development and introduction of an overall system of operations quajity
- control based on the standards of the enterprise is underway with the
aims of further improving production efficiency, strengthening supervision
of the observance of engineering requirements and the scientific organi-
zation of labor and insuring high-quality labor on this basis in all units
of electrification service and power engineering.

The CPSU Central Committee has approved the experience of the collectives
of enterprises on the Moscow Railroad in accelerating freight shipments
by increasing the weight and length of trains.

This start, made by the workers of the Moscow Railroad and approved by
the CPSU Central Committee visibly confirms what tremendous production
resources have been revealed and placed at the disposal of the 10th
Five-Year Plan.

In locomotive management the Il'ich Depot and the Prerevo Railroad Motor-
car Depot have been modernised, and operations are nearing completion on
the Moscow Classification Depot. Work is being carried out on modernizing
the Lotnya Depot, which serves the Savelovskoye Line. Modernization is
beginning this year on the Domodeovo and Aprelevka Railroad Motorcar De~-

- pots, for service to 12-car rolling stocks. Repairs have been carried out

. on the depot buildings of Moscow II, Moscow-Kiev, and Prerevos improve-
ments in track illumination have been made by means of modern lights at
the Nakhabkino Depot. In order to improve the through-traffic of passen-
ger trains destined for Leningrad--Crimea, Leningrad--Caucasus, their
traffic has been organized without a stop-over in Moscow.

However, Olympiade-80 presents its own heightened requirements with resy
pect to the volume and high standards of hauls, and not enough has been
done yet. This is why by the beginning of the Olympics work will be con-
pleted on building additional tracks on the main suburban sections, in-
cluding Noscow--Lyubertsy, Moscow=--Solnechnoye, and Moscow--Biryulevo.

In order to ensure the hauling of passengers from the Savelovskoye Line
to the "Belorusskaya" Subway Station, construction work has begun on the
gomegting Smolensko-Savelovskoye Diameter, which will also be completed
in 1980.

The convezsion of the Moscow Center to use by 12-car electric trains will
allow us to increase the throughput-capacity by 15--20 percent. In order
to implement this task, it is necessary to lengthen 140 passenger plat-
forne at the suburban stopping points, lengthen the depot tracks, and
carry out a number of other operations. Already with the introduction of
the current year's new schedule lengthened suburban trains are running on
the Kursk, Ryazan, and Belorussian routes, and by the beginning of the
Olympics we are counting on completing the conversion of all the approaches
to Moscow to the 12-car electric trains.

The frequency of electric-train traffic is growing.. On the most intensive-
ly traveled runs the intervals between trains during the "peak" rush hours
has been reduced to 3--4 minutes.

A great deal of attention is being paid to raising the standards of the
Passenger hauls and improving the technical and sanitary conditions of the
electric trains.. In order to raise the quality level of the cleaning opera-
tions and effect economies in manual labor, 28 washing and scrubbing ma-

- chines have been installed, along with vacuum-and-ventilation units.

In order to ensure good order and control in the trains, extrensive use is
being made of the public-service principle. At the present time there are

3,200 public-service inspectors active in this sphere. Gaining more and
widespread acceptance is a new form of public Participation--the transfer
