Authors: Andreichikov A. V. , Andreichikova O. N.
Published: October 2022

For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT In the work presented by the authors and based on the use of the international patent resource Qustel-Orbit, the state of innovative activity and patenting in the field of satellite navigation GPS-GLONASS was revealed for the entire period of patenting of inventions in the world until 2014. Inventions based on the use of GPS-GLONASS systems have a wide range of practical applications. In the area under consideration, the largest number of patents is published in China, the United States, and Korea. In this row, Russia occupies the eleventh place. The positioning of patent owners was suggested according to the indices of relative similarity and with the stage-by-stage processing of information according to a given algorithm. The work was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Humanitarian Science Foundation, project No. 16-02-00743 «Multicriterial analysis and forecasting of technical and economic conditions and development trends of the world’s leading aerospace companies». Keywords: patent resource Qustel-Orbit, FIPS, innovative technologies, satellite navigation, GPS, GLONASS, system analysis, patent owners.

HOW TO LOAD EMPTY CARS’ FLOW
Authors: Lakhmetkina N. Yu. , Galkina O. V.
Published: October 2022

For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT The topic of increasing the efficiency of empty gondola cars is considered by the authors at the example of the West Siberian Railway. In the process of analyzing the situation, it was revealed that the main problems that have arisen with the multiplicity of owners of rolling stock are a consequence of the lack of a single mechanism for managing cargo flows and are at the interface of interaction with different structures, small and large, federal and local. It is necessary to build a new management system for empty car flows and regulate this system, in particular the roles of participants in the transportation process, including the operator. The technology of operation of companies-operators with a park of empty open cars, the order of normalization and planning of their approach to coal loading stations of the road are shown. Compliance with such technology allows to significantly increase the level of loading of cars, improve the fulfillment of delivery deadlines. Keywords: management, railway, empty car flow, operator, cargo owner, plurality of owners, transportation process. REFERENCES 1.Khusainov, F. I.

LOGISTICS CENTER: INFORMATION SUPPORT POINTS
Authors: Sinitsyna A. S.
Published: October 2022

For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT Justifying the terms of interaction of participants in the process of cargo transportation, the author considers measures of national and local character for increasing the efficiency of transport and logistics centers (TLC). Particular emphasis is placed on information systems, the role of which is defined as the main one, and their participation in the work of TLC - as decisive in the implementation of management actions in servicing clients-customers of railway services. Functions of information support of logistic activity are shown. Keywords: transport, logistics, TLC, information technologies, navigation systems, cargo transportation, supply chain management.

SCHEME OF CONTROL OF ENGINEERING STRUCTURES’ TECHNICAL CONDITION
Authors: Kos O. I.
Published: October 2022

For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT Reliability of artificial structures on the railways is directly related to safety of life of passengers and cargo. The proposed scheme of control of technical condition of the span allows to calculate with a great precision design reliability and to predict its changes, to respond flexibly to the dynamics of the operating conditions, as well as to control optimally the processes by the criterion «reliability-cost». Keywords: railway engineering structures, span, reliability, security, recursive algorithm, optimal interval.
