Set of organizational, technical and reconstructive measures aimed at improvement of section performance indicators based on the study of systemic relations and regularities of functioning of railway transport system

Abstract

The organization of operational work should correspond to the corporate interests of the railway transport system: increasing profitability, minimizing transportation costs, increasing the interest of structural units in improving financial and economic results, focusing on high-quality transport customer service. Measures to reduce costs do not give the expected effect, resulting in the decrease in the reliability of technical means and transportation quality, may entail additional costs for the restoration of technical means and lower profitability. A constant increase in cargo turnover necessitates an increase in the throughput capacity of railway lines and sections. One of the main transport enterprises in Eastern Siberia is the East Siberian Railway. At the Bolshoi Lug - Slyudyanka railway section, the maximum ascent and descent magnitude is 18 ‰, the minimum horizontal curve radii are less than 300 meters. In this regard, the traffic operation on the mountain pass section is organized by way of pushing trains. For the estimated year 2023, the target indicators of the comprehensive project of the polygon require the throughput capacity of the section under consideration to increase to 137 pairs of trains per day. The article analyzes the factors affecting the magnitude of the section performance indicators and identifies the “bottlenecks”. It proposes the complex of organizational, technical and reconstruction activities. The value of one-time and current costs is determined. The economic effect of changing the performance indicators of structural units due to an increase in the volume of work, as well as the payback period of each event, are calculated.
