Organization of car flows on railways: Monograph. Moscow, Training and Methodological Center for Education in Railway Transport, 2017, 443 p. ABSTRACT Fundamental work describes the history, current state and prospects for development of organization of car flows, which is regulated by a plan for formation of trains. The tasks of calculating the formation plan of various categories are formulated in great detail. Various modes of the process of accumulation of trains are considered. Market conditions require new criteria, this fact is reflected in the settlement standards. The theory of calculating the formation plan has passed a long way of development, but modern conditions require new methods for calculating the formation plan. At various stages of development of railways, the attitude to the routing of cargo transportation changed. In the conditions of cars’ privatization the criteria of routing efficiency have changed. The market conditions left also their mark on various features of organization of empty car flows. The increase in the share of group trains is hampered by the shortage of marshalling tracks. The proposal of the author to introduce the centralized traffic control of organization of car flows is of great interest. Keywords: organization of car flows, empty car flows, centralized traffic control, car-hours, plan of formation, sender routing, group trains.

FUZZY NUMERICAL PROBABILITY ANALYSIS OF RAIL FASTENINGS RELIABILITY
Authors: Krakovsky Y. M. , Davaadorzh B.
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 As a probabilistic model for calculating reliability of rail fastenings, a triangular distribution with two parameters, the maximum and the most probable, is used. Fuzzy numerical probability analysis with the use of simulation modeling suggests that experts, using statistical and expert information, can numerically estimate the maximum value of the operating time, and for the second value (mode) may offer only the interval of its change. This is the most realistic situation in practical applications in conditions of uncertainty in the initial data. The algorithm of fuzzy analysis, which is approved on the basis of expert information, is proposed. Keywords: rail fastenings, reliability indicators, numerical probability analysis, simulation modeling.

SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF TRANSPORTATION SPEED
Authors: Macheret D. A.
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 article assesses the influence of speed of transportation on formation and development of human society. It is shown that the emergence of modern high-speed transport has led to cardinal social changes, namely to acceleration of urbanization, intensification of interregional and intercontinental migration flows, improving the quality of life. It is noted that directions and intensity of spatial displacements of people can be regarded as a social indicator aggregating individual ideas about attractiveness of certain places of residence. To quantify the spatial and temporal accessibility, the concept of «territory of isochronous accessibility» was introduced, and for socioeconomic assessments it was suggested to use a set of indicators as population size, gross domestic product, and the volume of production of services within the isochronous availability territory. Further acceleration of transportation speed implies both an increase in speed of transportation by different modes of transport, and elimination of time losses at the «junctions» between them, which should be supported by the development of multimodal logistics. Key words: transport communication, speed, society, humanity, urbanization, migration, space-time accessibility, territory of isochronous accessibility.

Authors: Soliakov O. V. , Izotov O. A. , Yakunchikov V. 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 problems of the activities of national seaports and port logistics, issues of intermodality of transportation are considered. An important factor of the influence on transport and logistics aspects remains the discrepancy between the world practice of the regime and the procedures of operation of border checkpoints and customs, the absence of generally accepted tax and customs preferences abroad, including the creation of port special economic zones. It is shown that the basis for assessing the level of competitiveness in transport is the transition of the profitability point from the processes of physical transportation or cargot turnover to the area of transport and logistics services. Accordingly, various systems of criteria for the «attractiveness» of the seaport are applied. An integral row of such indicators-criteria for various conditions, goals and participants in the transport process is proposed. Among the prospects for development of seaports in the European part of Russia, the authors emphasize the option of combining all four modes of transport in the agglomeration of one port, which can dramatically increase its demand as an inter-regional transport hub. Keywords: economy, logistics, seaports, export, cargo transportation, intermodality, world market, competition, border checkpoints, customs.

Therefore, as a replacement, it is offered to fulfill the delivery deadlines. At the same time, in conditions of the privatized car fleet, a combination of criteria for meeting the deadline for the delivery of goods and minimizing the processing of car flows at technical stations was required. In the process of calculating the plan for the formation of one-group trains, all streams of car flows, from the furthest ones, are consistently considered. If the accepted conditions are not met, the procedure of combining distant ones with shorter streams with their processing at one, two, three, etc. stations is performed - until the proper level of organization is achieved. Keywords: railway, train formation plan, design norms, combinatorics, terms of cargo delivery, organization of car flows.

But professor Kurbatsky began his work as an ordinary fireman at a locomotive furnace. Today, very few people know about the intricacies of this profession, without which no railway train, headed by a locomotive, could do. The work of a fireman required very good physical training and skill. In addition to the constant casting of coal into the furnace, the fireman had to take a staff at each station. This procedure ensured the presence of only one train at a station. Sometimes this was done at full speed. At all stops at any time of the day a fireman was obliged to lubricate axle boxes with fuel oil, to fill a locomotive with water. About this first and distant stage of his railway life, the current doctor of science recalls with particular warmth, as it should be for a hereditary transport worker. Keywords: history, railway, steam locomotive, staff, axle box, fireman, memories.
