Abstract The article proposes a method for determining the rational motion intensity of specific train traffic flows on railway transport corridors with account for balance of expenses on traction resources and cargo owners. A mathematical model based on stochastic optimization is developed, which allows to optimize, in the conditions of risks, the interval between trailing trains on the railway lines taking into account the limited resources of the traction rolling stock, the capacity of the stations and freight fronts at the cargo destination point. Solving this mathematical model allows to find a balance between the expenses for movement of train traffic flows from different railway lines to their terminal reference station and the expenses of a consignee, subject to the limitations of the technological logistics chain in cargo transportation. For the solution of this mathematical model, a Real-coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA) was used.

Increasing the productivity and efficiency of agricultural cargo transportation in the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is achieved through the use of tractor trains consist-ing of tractors and trailer links, the main of which are trailers. This method allows you to ensure the quality and safety of agricultural goods, as well as reduce the cost of transportation. During the analysis of the known designs of tractor-trailer dump trailers, it was revealed that a character-istic drawback is the imperfection of the design of the locking elements of the platforms designed to fix them on the chassis. As a result, a promising technical solution was developed, which, in comparison with the known ones, has a simple design and increased efficiency when fixing the bodies on the chassis. The article describes the design and the principle of operation of this tech-nical solution. The results of the structural strength calculation are presented. The conducted check showed that the obtained value of the safety factor, equal to 2.2, will ensure the operational reliability of trailed dump vehicles. The results of the study are recommended to both domestic and foreign research institutes, design and production structures of the automotive industry for further study and refinement of the proposed device with a view to its possible implementation in practice.

Research Analysis

Goal: investigate legal issues on membership of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the International Criminal Court. Methods of research: analysis and study of regulatory documents containing provisions on the international railway carriage of goods. Railway transport in developed countries takes a leading place in comparison with other modes of transport. This is due to its versatility – the ability to serve various sectors of the economy and meet the needs of the population in transportation, regardless of the conditions in which the transportation is carried out. Therefore, for almost two hundred years, rail transport remains the main means of moving goods. There are several types of international transportation known to international rail freight traffic, each of which has its own legal characteristics. Consider the following types of transportation: 1. Transportation of direct and indirect messages. 2. Rail or mixed international transport. 3. Non-reloading and reloading international transportation. 4. Neighboring and transit international transportation. 5. International traffic with reconsignment and border transportation. 6. Special types of cargo transportation. Among the listed types of transportation, in our opinion, currently the most effective are mixed container transportation or intermodal, multimodal, combined, i.e. involving two or more modes of transport, and the delivery process itself was called “intermodal” or “multimodal” transportation. Discussion: offering a comprehensive and detailed study and use of this practice in academia.

The Impact

In the article was noted the importance of the study of the conditions for the carriage of goods by rail transport when executing the railway transport examination, and the main points of such studies are given. One of the causes of the onset of a railroad accident (hereinafter referred to as RTA) with damage to the rolling stock, infrastructure elements, loss of life and loss of cargo through damaged packaging, the integrity of the car body may be a mismatch of the cargo weight with established weight standards, unsatisfactory the technical condition of the rolling stock in which the cargo is transported, improper securing of the cargo in the car, disorder of attachment on the route or interference of unauthorized persons to the cargo itself (theft). As a part of the railway-transport expertise, experts investigate cases of derailment of railway rolling stock, spontaneous movement of cars from the parking lot, followed by their collision, and other cases. Upon the occurrence of an RTA, the compliance of the actions of the railway employees involved with the requirements of regulatory documents, the causal link and the immediate technical reason for its occurrence is investigated. Experts carrying out research within the examination regarded various possible discrepancies that could cause the occurrence of RTA. The inconsistency of the mass of the cargo with the established weight standards for transportation by rail is considered by experts, precisely as a possible discrepancy that could significantly affect the occurrence of the accident. This direction of research requires detailed consideration from the position of forensic expertise. The article discusses individual issues of this type of inconsistency. These points are considered in more detail in a research work devoted to a study of the main transport characteristics of the goods transported and their packages, with an assessment of the possibility of their influence on the causal relationship with the onset of the RTA as part of the railway transport expertise. Each type of faults (inconsistencies) identified during the carriage of goods by rail is investigated as part of the implementation of forensic railway transport examinations and requires the formation of detailed expert approaches. The presented work confirms the relevance of developing a methodology for assessing the impact of cargo transportation features on the onset of railway accidents. Key words: commercial malfunctions, forensic railway-transport expertise, cargo, features of transportation, fasteners, weight standards.

The Cost

The rail infrastructure and the track components are expensive assets with long life spans and high maintenance costs. The cost efficiency, performance and punctuality of train operations heavily depend on the track conditions. Ideally, the railway track would be completely smooth providing continuous support to the rolling stock running on it. In practice, however, the infrastructure cannot be installed without irregularities. These defects will increase over time due to the service loads imposed by the railway vehicles. The aim of this work is to use advanced computational tools to predict how the vehicles will respond to changing levels of track defects. For this purpose, the track and its maintenance conditions are characterized in realistic operation scenarios and modelled with detail in order to enable studying the interaction loads that are imposed to the vehicles by the track conditions. The presented methodology enables to identify the track health indexes that have higher influence on the dynamic loads transmitted to the rolling stock. It was observed that the track layout, track irregularities and degradation of the rails have the larger influence on the vehicle-track interaction loads with consequences in terms of safety and maintenance costs. In this way, this work contributes to the development of solutions with technological relevance, giving answer to the industry’s most recent needs in terms of reducing the maintenance costs and decreasing the incidents that cause traffic disruptions, contributing to improve the competitiveness of the railway transport.
