The high efficiency of high-speed rail transport contributes to its development both in the service sectors and in the construction of devices for servicing high-speed trains, in particular, track development. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the obvious problems that accompany the process of reconstruction of railways during the transition to high-speed passenger traffic. Among them, the presence of small radii of circular curves, an insufficient length of straight inserts and transition curves should be noted. In this paper, it is proposed to consider small-radius curves located close to each other as one common module when reconstructing railways with the aim of introducing high-speed passenger traffic. The implementation of this approach will allow solving one of the main problems - straightening of the railway section. This will increase the speed of passenger trains and reduce travel time by reducing the length of the route. The article deals with the task of reconstruction of modules consisting of three adjacent curves, which occur when improving the characteristics of the plan of the Kharkiv-Dnipro railway direction.

Insight Into

Passenger transport today runs significantly faster than some decades ago and often operates on separate tracks especially constructed for high speed trains. As rolling bearings are very important components in the bogies of trains they have to be suitably designed for high speed. The maximum train speeds reach up to 380 km/h (236 mph) for the latest high speed applications which are 80% higher than in the earlier days of high speed traffic. The paper presents a couple of application examples of modern high speed traffic together with some typical bearing arrangements and housings. It gives some insight into measures taken in the bearing industry to meet the requirements of contemporary high speed traffic and it mentions important standards and regulations applicable for, but not restricted to European applications. The main focus is on journal bearings. Information on traction motor bearings, transmission bearings and housings is included but described in less detail.

Train Safety

Modern high-speed trains in normal operation develop speeds of up to 350-400 km / h, and in tests they can even accelerate to 560-580 km/h. Due to the speed of service and high speed of movement, they seriously compete with other modes of transport, while maintaining such a property of all trains as low cost of transportation with a large volume of passenger traffic. For the first time the regular movement of high-speed trains began in 1964 in Japan under the Shinkansen project. In 1981, VSNT trains began to run in France, and soon most of Western Europe, including even the island of Great Britain, became connected by a single high-speed rail network. At the beginning of the XXI century, China became the world leader in the development of a network of high-speed lines, as well as the operator of the first regular high-speed maglev.In Russia, the regular operation of high-speed trains "Sapsan", on common tracks with conventional trains, began at the end of 2009. Since 2013, the idea of building the first specialized high-speed railway Moscow-Kazan (cargo-passenger) for the national high-speed traffic system has been discussed.Most of the high-speed trains carry passengers, but there are varieties designed for the transport of goods. For example, the French service La Poste has used special TGV electric trains for 30 years, which served to transport mail and parcels (their operation was completed in June 2015 due to the decrease in the volume of mailings in recent years).

The Cost

In order to reduce the cost of new intercity passenger rail corridors, the operation of higher speed passenger networks on existing freight corridors is being examined and considered. The issues to be addressed in such operations include the one-time upgrade of the track to allow for this higher speed passenger traffic and the ongoing maintenance costs necessary to maintain this track for the mixed higher speed passenger and freight operations. This latter issue is usually addressed in the access agreements for the corridor, and must include how these costs are to be shared. A recent US Federal Railroad Administration study specifically addressed the issue of “steady state” maintenance costs for mixed use corridors consisting on this class of higher speed passenger operations and concurrent freight operations, to include heavy axle load freight operations. The result of that study was a “planner’s handbook” for estimating these track maintenance costs, as part of the overall analysis of the feasibility and cost of operating higher speed passenger traffic on existing freight corridors. This paper presents the methodology used in the development of the methodology for estimating maintenance costs for mixed higher speed passenger and freight rail corridors (Classes 4, 5 and 6). Specifically, it addresses the estimation of these “steady state” infrastructure maintenance costs for a range of operating scenarios with different combination of passenger and freight traffic densities and operating speeds. These infrastructure costs include track, bridge and building (B&B), and communications and signal (C&S) costs. The resulting costs are presented as a set of cost matrices both in terms of a total cost per track mile and in terms of cost per passenger train mile. The cost matrices cover a range of combinations of traffic and track configuration, with minimum and maximum costs developed for each cell in the cost matrices. The minimum costs are based on maintenance standards geared to typical Class I freight railroad practice, such as where passenger trains currently operate on a freight railroad right of way, while the maximum costs reflect maintenance practices on existing high speed railroad track. This paper provides a description of the analytic models used to generate the costs, and the process by which those models were calibrated to actual cost data to develop costs for a wide range of traffic and track combinations. Sample application of the methodology to include several proposed mixed use corridors is also presented.

The Impact

In modern conditions, the important tasks of the Directorate of High-Speed Communication of the JSC “Russian Railways” are to improve the quality of transport services, maintain stable positions in the transport market, and increase demand. The use of a set of marketing tools in “Sapsan” trains allows maintaining price accessibility of transportation and ensures the construction of long-term mutually beneficial relations with customers. Carrying out activities to stimulate demand requires the analysis of a large amount of statistical data for planning, monitoring and summarizing the marketing activities. For information support of the decision-making process on the basis of the ACS “Express-3”, a set of tasks has been developed that provides the calculation of the characteristics of passenger traffic in the segment of high-speed communication. The new functionality allows the user to receive an analysis of the passenger traffic parameters taking into account the demand parameters (age, sex, citizenship) and the conditions of the trip (class of service, availability of benefits, participation in the promotion). In the process of carrying out analytical work, it is important for the specialists of the passenger complex not only to obtain and examine traffic statistics, but also to determine the impact of marketing actions on the amount of revenue receipts. Software implementation of the relationship construction between the volumes of traffic and revenues from the sale of travel documents was carried out on the basis of the ACS “Express-3”. To determine the annual cycles of growth/decline in revenues, it is ensured that an autocorrelation function is constructed and the development trends are determined by the indicator “revenue receipts”. The functionality created on the basis of ACS “Express” is a flexible system of reports that are formed at the user's request, allowing you to view information on the structure of passenger traffic with varying degrees of detail for compiling programs to stimulate demand and analyze its effectiveness.
