The paper contains a review of studies in cargo and empty cars delivery reliability, describes methods of reliability calculation and monetary evaluation. The analysis showed that monetary evaluation when reliability is considered the main emphasis should be put on its for all participants of transportation process. Consignors/consignees are, as a rule, concerned about logistical control in terms of steady and regular carriages; carriers pay more attention to process operations and loading of the infrastructure elements; railway rolling stock operators give the first place to the turnaround of main operating assets.

Calculation Unit

Fitting platforms of variable freight storage lengths are used for transportation of rails and other cargo up to 25 m long. The use of innovative fixation for transportation on the fitting platforms contributes to enlargement of the range of cargo transported on such rolling stock and establishes conditions for safe transportation of such cargo.To evaluate the effectiveness of the arrangement of long cargo transportation on the fitting platform, this study examines two 25 m long rail transportation options. The transportation option involving two coupled 14.62 m platforms, when the cargo is fixed on the coupled platforms with the standard method is the basic option. The new option involves transportation of the 25 m long rails using 80-feet fitting platforms 25.62 m long at the coupling axes and multiway fi xation sets. A calendar year is assumed as the estimate period. The transported volume is assumed equal for each option, under considering the operating conditions of the calculation unit — one coupling of universal platform (or one 80-feet fitting platform), reducing the financial results to a ton of transported cargo. The value of the annual economic effect for the freight owner (Eyearown) is determined as the change of the freight owner’s expenses due to usage of the new option relative to the basic transportation option.The economic assessment of the transportation is performed considering the interests of each member of the transportation process and tested based on specific data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of implementation of the technical and technological solution under consideration.

Modern Rolling

The article explores the main technical parameters of modern electric locomotives in Russia. The renewal of the locomotive complex directly affects the quality of the transportation process. Due to the growing volume of cargo transportation, the intensity of passenger train traffic between large cities, the growth of transit container traffic, the existing dilapidated rolling stock needs updating to be ready for the annually increasing demand for rail transportation.
