Among the main causes of human operator errors are the following: unsatisfactory training or low level of qualification; non-compliance with the prescribed operating procedures; unsatisfactory working conditions associated with such negative phenomena as excessive noise, vibration, temperature fluctuations in the driver's cab (especially on locomotives); lack of attractive incentives to achieve the optimal level of quality of work. The choice of the criterion of optimal control can be ambiguous. The source of complexity is the inconsistency of goals. If you want to optimize one of the parameters in compliance with the restrictive requirements for other parameters, then a partial criterion is formed. In the presence of several optimality criteria, the additive criterion is chosen when the absolute values of the criteria are significant for the selected parameter vector. If a significant role is played by changes in absolute values of partial criteria in the variation of the vector of variables, then apply the multiplicative criterion of optimality. If the task is to achieve equality of normalized values of conflicting partial criteria, then the optimal design is performed by the minimum criterion.

The development of urban transport in recent years has become one of the most important issues related to improving the quality of life in Polish cities. Excessive pollution in the form of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances from buses affects people’s health as does the excessive noise. This article analysed the measures being taken to reduce emissions, and the results showed that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 28 thousand megagrams (Mg) per annum. Policymakers in Poland should consider limiting electricity generation through coal combustion and recognize, at least temporarily, CNG/LNG-powered buses as low-carbon rolling stock and co-finance their purchase and the necessary infrastructure.

Improving the operational efficiency of transport is one of the main catalysts for raising the quality of life and socio-economic development. The prevailing global trends are aimed at establishing logistic chains from producers to consumers. The cross-border movement of world production within the framework of globalization, the deepening of integration processes between countries highlight the issues of developing a methodology for planning and evaluating international transport corridors from various points of view, and economic, technical, social, environmental and other aspects. The urgent issue is the harmonization of the technical and regulatory framework for the organization of «seamless» transportation, the synchronization of the technological cycles of various modes of transport, including operation of multimodal transport hubs. A large number of studies are dedicated to the modelling and control of traffic flows, new methods of forecasting the transport situation using the results of computer dynamic transport modelling, analysis of existing infrastructure resources and elimination of bottlenecks in the existing railway system (including through the expansion of the railway network and innovative methods of traffic control).Hence the achievement of target parameters of efficiency of production activity of all participants in railway transportations is possible through qualitative changes in the system of the organization of transportation process, the objective of the research was to study technological aspects of improvement of quality of functioning of the transport system in relation to activity of the Russian railways.The research applied methods of system analysis of scientific and technical data and technical and economic indicators of complex systems.The issues of implementation of end-to-end principles of transportation process management are considered, the concept of «technological polygon of transportation process management» is expanded. The analysis and grouping of methods for improving the efficiency of railway transport was carried out with regard to improving the operation quality indicators and refined model of rolling stock management, increasing the efficiency of the use of traction equipment, profiling of railway itineraries in respect of the preferred types of traffic, establishing sections well-provided for safe passage of freight trains and synchronized with the operation ranges of locomotives, organizing freightage in wagons withincreased axle load, removing barriers and restrictions in the power supply sector, etc.The transition to the «polygon» model of the organization of the technological process, the unification and optimization of the use of available resources, and, as a result, the reduction of risks of losses from transportation, service provision and unplanned use of resources are effective tools to improve the quality of rail operations.

Required Quality

Current geopolitical and economic conditions for the functioning of railway transport in most post-Soviet states are such that it is extremely difficult to provide required quality of transport services and break-even operations at high expenses for maintaining the railway infrastructure and rolling stock. Dynamics of transportation of the Tajik Railway (TSR) is shown, which displays that most of its sections are classified as low-intensity ones. The paper proposes methodical principles, setting and qualitative analysis of the task of rationalization of operational work and organization of car flows for international transportation, taking into account the specifics of the Tajik Railway. There is a problem of complex maintenance of the efficiency of operational work in modern conditions based on the synthesis of the tasks of self-management (rational internal operational technology of the Tajik Railway) and coordination tasks (technological interaction with railway administrations of other states). Author substantiated the necessity of solving this problem. Proposed classification of technological restrictions and controlled variables in the performance of transport takes into account methods for changing external conditions for the functioning of the railway landfill and methods for increasing internal efficiency of its operation. The search for the solution of the problem involves direct search of variants along its ordered set with clipping of groups of variants that do not correspond to constraints, with the subsequent finding of compromise control over a set of effective alternatives.

This paper presents a discussion on aircraft type gas-turbine train development. For railway traction purposes, the turbo-engines used on aircraft would improve the quality of the services provided in the electrified lines. The gas turbine should insure high speed and satisfactory acceleration. It would enable relatively lightweight construction to be carried out and run at a higher speed than trains on non-electrified lines. The gas turbine will not completely replace the diesel engine, but it will enable rolling stock to be constructed for which the diesel is unsuitable, especially in the case of high-speed, lightweight trainsets and, in the future, very high-powered units.

Abstract Although Clustering Algorithm Based on Sparse Feature Vector (CABOSFV) and its related algorithms are efficient for high dimensional sparse data clustering, there exist several imperfections. Such imperfections as subjective parameter designation and order sensibility of clustering process would eventually aggravate the time complexity and quality of the algorithm. This paper proposes a parameter adjustment method of Bidirectional CABOSFV for optimization purpose. By optimizing Parameter Vector (PV) and Parameter Selection Vector (PSV) with the objective function of clustering validity, an improved Bidirectional CABOSFV algorithm using simulated annealing is proposed, which circumvents the requirement of initial parameter determination. The experiments on UCI data sets show that the proposed algorithm, which can perform multi-adjustment clustering, has a higher accurateness than single adjustment clustering, along with a decreased time complexity through iterations.

This article is concerned with the problem of energy savings and rise of comfortableness of railway rolling stock. Done analysis has shown the insufficient paying attention to the energy efficiency of suburban rolling stock. In particular, to the problem of heat comfort for passengers. For this purpose, a procedure was carried out for the thermal audit of electric trains, taking into account the prevailing array of required indicators. To determine the sites of local heat losses, there was done the thermal-imaging inspection of the electrical train ER2 series during which it was determined the local sites of heat losses and entry of cold air. Besides the passenger compartment, there were inspected the outer body liner and driver's cabin. As a result of inspection of driver's cabin, it was found the bad quality of a sealing layer for side small windows from one side. On the basis of inspection, the recommendations for elimination of found irregularities were developed.
