Purpose: To conduct an experimental study of the indicators of electrical energy consumption quality for serially produced freight electric locomotives of alternating current 2(3)ES5K with a collector traction drive and electric locomotives 2(3)ES5S with an asynchronous traction drive, to provide their comparison and comparative analysis. Methods: The main technical characteristics of the collector traction electric drive (TED) NB-514E and asynchronous TED DTA-1100 are presented. A measurement scheme for voltage and current on the power winding of the transformer is proposed. The monitoring of parameters has been carried out directly on electric locomotives using specialized metrological equipment. The processing of experimental data is based on decomposing the original signal into harmonic components using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Results: Parameters of voltage and current harmonics, phase shifts, as well as the values of active and reactive power of the corresponding harmonics have been obtained. An analysis of the spectral composition of voltage and current has been performed. Comparative analysis of the results obtained for electric locomotives with collector and asynchronous traction drives in traction mode has shown that the power factor is 0.65 and 0.99, respectively; and the coefficient of non-linear current distortions is 0.53 and 0.15. A conclusion has been drawn regarding significantly higher quality of electrical energy consumption in the asynchronous traction drive. Practical significance: Based on the specific values of the indicators of electrical energy consumption quality in collector and asynchronous traction drives in traction mode, it is possible to proceed to obtaining economic assessments for the transition of the locomotive fleet of Russian Railways (JSCo “RZD”) to nextgeneration electric locomotives of the 2(3)ES5S series.

RAIL TRANSPORT IN E-COMMERCE: AN OVERVIEW OF THE OPPORTUNITIES

The e-commerce market is constantly growing and attracting new entrants, but some developing trends are controversial.
 The study presents the results of a comparative analysis of logistics development strategies in the e-commerce market in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Indonesia. The analysis shows that while technological solutions are more general and they can be disseminated as best practices, the structure of transportation depends on local characteristics. 
 In Russia rail transport has an important place in the overall transport volume, but in order to be integrated into the e-commerce market, railway companies have to change their existing logistics significantly. This study presents an analysis of strategic documents, examining the prospects for Russian Railways to enter the e-commerce market and the challenges encountered along the way. Rail logistics is a rather conservative industry but nowadays it ready to embrace new technologies, cloud-based solutions and services, such as track and wagon sensors, intelligent video analytics and so on. In Indonesia, as an island nation, rail transport is not that important. The country faces the challenge of developing land transportation by different modes of transport.
 The article not only identifies general trends in the use of logistic instruments for small-scale shipments but reveals possible obstacles and ways to improve logistics. Some recommendations are made, as E-commerce logistics systems seek improved communication, transparency in the supply chain, improved customer satisfaction, distribution and logistics optimization, cost reduction, improvement in efficiency and on-time delivery. The land transportation industry is crucial for the growth of national connectivity and contributes significantly to national development.

Study of the Impact of Climatic Changes in 1980–2021 on Railway Infrastructure in the Central and Western Russian Arctic Based on Advanced Electronic Atlas of Hydrometeorological Parameters (Version 2, 2023)

Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) is the region of intensive economic development. In this regard, it is critical to give an adequate assessment of natural factors that may have a negative impact on the growing technological infrastructure. Rapid climate change effects show a significant influence on this activity, including the railway network development. Hence, the decision-making community requires relevant information on climatic variations that can put at hazard the construction and operation of railway facilities. This paper presents the analysis of climatic changes within the region of Central and Western Russian Arctic in 1980–2021. It was performed using the new electronic Atlas of climatic variations in main hydrometeorological parameters, created for the Russian Railways in 2023. This geoinformatic product includes about 400 digital maps reflecting the variability of seven climatic parameters over more than four decades within the studied region. These parameters are air temperature, total precipitation, wind speed, soil temperature, soil moisture content, air humidity, and snow cover thickness. The analysis of climatic maps and their comparison between selected periods showed spatial and temporal heterogeneity of climatic variations in this region. This justifies the feasibility of further research using additional analytical instruments, such as Hovmöller diagrams, time series graphs, etc. The implementation of advanced geoinformatic products in the practice of the Russian Railways will facilitate sustainable development of its infrastructure in rapidly altering climatic conditions.

Functional capabilities of the calculation methodology of railway approach embankment to engineering structures taking into account temperature effect and interaction of reinforcing piles with soil

For the smooth operation of the railway infrastructure, it is necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the roadbed embankment and engineering structures (pipe-culverts, bridges and overpasses), which corresponds to the long-term development programme of the open joint-stock company «Russian Railways» approved by the Government of the Russian Federation dated 19 March 2019 N 466-R. In the interface zones of nonhomogenous structures, namely roadbed embankments and engineering structures, ground distortion (soil settlement) occur, which leads to a change in the dynamic impact on engineering structures (pipe-culverts, bridges and overpasses) and, as a consequence, to their accelerated damage. The timeliness of the topic is determined by the target programmes for railway transport infrastructure optimisation, ensuring uninterrupted operation, reliability of engineering structures and roadbed. When designing engineering structures, a number of solutions are used to ensure reliable functioning of the roadbed — engineering structure system (pipe-culvert, bridge substructure, tunnel, laying of communications). The problem is that their application is ineffective without scientific and regulatory support and is limited by the lack of effective solutions to ensure the rigidity of the roadbed structure on the approaches to the engineering structure. In this connection, new constructive and technical solutions development for the interface of the roadbed — engineering structure system is an urgent task. The article considers railway transportations as a production process, the smooth functioning of which is ensured by smooth conjugation of approach embankments with engineering structures (bridges, pipe-culverts, underground communications). In the interface zone there are soil settlements, damage to the roadbed integrity, deformations leading to the appearance of additional dynamic forces and the emergence of irregularities and even destruction of the road pavement (on motorways), as well as damage to the engineering structures themselves.

Church Construction in Transbaikalia and the Chinese Eastern Railway: Kaydalovskaya Railway Branch at the Turn of the 19<sup>th</sup> – 20<sup>th</sup> Centuries

The paper considers the process of church construction on the Kaidalovskaya branch of the Trans-Baikal Railway (one of the branches connecting the Chinese Eastern Railway with the Russian railway network). The history of how the branch was constructed and operated has been left beyond the scope of scholars’ interests, which explains the focus of the paper. The research relies on archive records data and aims at assessing the role of the state in the spread of Orthodoxy in Transbaikalia and the Far East through the main stages of the branch railway construction at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. It also sheds light on how the Department of Railways of the Ministry of Railways and the Department of the Committee of the Trans-Baikal Railway solved the practical issues. The study spotlights a special agreement between the Trans-Baikal and Chinese Eastern Railways, which was concluded in order to boost efficiency of the CER railway section from the Chinese border to Manchuria station. It helps to evidence the specificity of church construction in the region under consideration: the trend towards constructing churches on the territory of large settlements near the railway and introducing mobile church cars. In such a way, the abbots of churches at the stations could travel hundreds of kilometers and meet the religious needs of workers and employees who lived along the railway line. The paper concludes that church construction has become a manifestation of Russian national policy aimed at strengthening its stance in the east of the country. The churches on the Kaydalovskaya branch, funded by philanthropists, local residents, and special purpose funds, still exist and should be seen as cultural heritage sites.

Bifurcation Points of Carbon Regulation

There are 1800 climate change laws around the world. In recent years, the rapid increase in carbon emissions has caused global warming and climate pollution, causing serious harm to social development and human health. Reducing carbon emissions is getting a lot of attention. Since the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, many countries have made efforts to reduce carbon emissions.The article describes the international processes intended to adopt regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, including the regulated market for quotas and the voluntary market for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The emphasis is on European and Russian quota mechanisms. The stages of development of transborder carbon regulation in the EU are highlighted. It is noted that in Russia, the leader in application of ESG criteria is JSC Russian Railways, as a company that is consistently pursuing the transition to implementing the principles of sustainable development.The conclusions on international trends in development of carbon regulation are followed by proposals on solutions regarding problematic aspects of the new Russian carbon legislation. According to the authors, the target scenario remains the transition to a new technological structure ensuring a real reducing the carbon footprint.

Constructing the Frontier: Russian-Chinese Trade as a Factor in the Modernization of the Far East at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries

The article delves into the development of the transport and logistical infrastructure on the Far Eastern frontier of the Russian Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Throughout the period under study, challenges that emerged in the trade relations between Russia and China led to the creation of a new freight transport system for Russian-Chinese trading. This system proposed the integration of rail and maritime communication, with a sea port acting as the central logistical hub. This vision materialized with the construction of Russian railways in Manchuria, the leasing of Port Russian Dalian on the Liaodong Peninsula, and the initiation of maritime shipping by the China Eastern Railway Company. The article aims to systematically investigate the foundational concepts and the actualization of each segment of this new infrastructure. The research uncovered that the railways, sea port, and maritime shipping orchestrated by the Russian Empire in the Far East were viewed as cohesive elements of a unified trade and transport corridor. This corridor’s primary goal was to forge an effective linkage with the Pacific region. The data assessed in the study indicates that the Chinese ports and market stood as the foremost objectives for Russia’s geoeconomic pursuits in the Far East. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of these novel infrastructural developments in the frontier modernization of the Far Eastern boundary shared by Russia and China.

Non-Financial Risks of Introducing Information Systems into the Activities of Transport and Logistics Companies

Today, digital transformation is a priority vector for development of all economic sectors of the Russian Federation; at the same time, special attention in this context is paid to the transport and logistics sector due to its great importance for the country’s economy. The implementation of information systems that meet modern requirements, as well as with added functionality, is one of the key components of work in the field of digital transformation of transport.Most often, in this regard the attention is paid to financial and technological risks, while the influence of the human factor is considered rather superficially. Hence, the need to examine the risks that are primarily associated with employees of transport and logistics companies, as well as the impact of those risks on digital transformation in general and on the process of implementing information systems in particular, to suggest ways to minimise those risks in the context of modern corporate culture. JSC Russian Railways, as well as PJSC Aeroflot Russian Airlines, are considered as examples of companies that have already implemented advancement within the digital transformation vector.

Daily trend of blood pressure in staff under conditions of shift work of railway transport

Introduction. The results of the study of features of the daily rhythm of blood pressure in people who constantly work in a rotational shift schedule, arising under the influence of night shift work, are discussed.
 The purpose of the study was to determine the modifying effect of working night wakefulness on the parameters of the daily rhythm of blood pressure in persons employed in work with a night shift schedule.
 Materials and methods. The analysis was carried out, in two cohorts of 19 years – 62 years employees of locomotive crews of Russian Railways. The study included drivers, assistant locomotive drivers, for at least 1 year, with night shifts n = 30,566, the number of measurements = 4,497,122, but borderline (high normal) blood pressure.
 Results. The lowest levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) were found to be recorded in a cohort of subjects per day with a night shift, the highest – in the general group of workers and in a cohort of subjects per day with a day shift.
 The daily trend of SBP was characterized by a regular change of phases in all observation groups. In the general group, a subgroup of persons with normotonia, in a cohort of subjects, when working on a day shift, a DECLINE curve of the same type in configuration was formed.
 Limitations. The representativeness of the sample size was ensured by the participation in the study of employees of locomotive crews with a range of ages 
 of 19-62 years. The limitations of the study are related to the distribution of respondents by gender: there are no female respondents in the sample.
 Conclusions. Parameters of the daily rhythm of blood pressure sensitively react to changes in working hours. To the greatest extent, changes in the daily rhythm during the hours of night working wakefulness are typical for the indicators of the daily rhythm of diastolic blood pressure.

Evolution of Cementite Substructure of Rails from Hypereutectoid Steel during Operation

Transmission electron microscopy methods were used to analyze the cementite substructure in the head of special-purpose long rails of the DT400IK category, made of hypereutectoid steel, after long-term operation on an experimental track on the Russian Railways ring (the tonnage was 187 million tons). It is noted that the study of various aspects of cementite—its structure, morphology, chemical composition, crystal lattice defects—is relevant. The steel structure is represented by three morphological components at a distance of 10 mm from the sample surface: lamellar perlite, fractured and fragmented perlite. The volume fraction of lamellar perlite in the material is 65%. It is shown that after operation, the cementite plates are bent and separated by ferrite bridges. In the plates of ferrite and cementite, a dislocation substructure is formed, which is of a chaotically distributed and network type in ferrite and of an ordered type in cementite. An increased density of dislocations at the ferrite–cementite interfaces compared to the volume of ferrite plates was noted. Two possible mechanisms of deformation transformation of lamellar perlite grains are indicated: fracture of cementite plates and carbon pulling out from the lattice of the carbide phase. It is indicated that in the dissolution of cementite plates, the interfacial boundaries of “α-phase-cementite” play an important role. The removal of carbon from cementite plates occurs most intensively near defects in ferrite and cementite. The formed nanosized particles of tertiary cementite are unevenly distributed in the ferrite plates; most of them are observed at the locations of ferrite subgrains and interfacial boundaries. This results in non-uniform diffraction contrast in dark-field images of cementite plates. Nanosized particles of cementite can be taken out into the interlamellar space of pearlite colonies in the process of dislocation slip, or they are formed as a result of deformation decomposition, which is less likely. The fragmentation of ferrite and cementite plates is revealed and azimuthal components of total misorientation angles are estimated. The mechanisms of mass transfer of carbon atoms over interstitial sites, deformation vacancies, dislocation tubes, grain boundaries and fragments are considered. According to all the established patterns of the cementite substructure transformation, a comparison with the results for rails made of hypoeutectoid steel was performed.

Российский рынок вагоноремонтных услуг: конкурентоспособность субъектов в эпоху цифровизации

The study is devoted to the analysis of the domestic market for carriage repair services as well as the prospects of its development under the conditions of digitalization. The authors emphasized rolling stock repair due to the ongoing reform of this industry and its transfer to a competitive basis through the development of independent market agents as well as a fully competitive market. Passenger carriage repair is realized by internal departments of the company. As a result of the research, the directions of digital transformation in the freight car repair market were revealed. In particular, it was suggested to introduce electronic document management, the development of a unified electronic register of spare parts and performed works, and the creation of digital “twins” (electronic copies) of freight cars. These measures would greatly decrease the operating costs of rolling stock by streamlining the time to process information about their condition and simplifying procedures for planning maintenance, scheduled repairs, and unscheduled repairs. In the car repair services market, a digital ecosystem is formed as a result of the integration of such digital platforms as automatic control systems, portals of electronic document management, specialized portals, and electronic databases of spare parts and other components. This allows for connections between car repair enterprises, owners of rolling stock, the owner of infrastructure (OJSC Russian Railways), as well as other participants in the market under analysis. These transformations lead to higher service, help to avoid the usage of low-quality spare parts, increase repair quality, and, as a result, increase railway transportation security. The work demonstrates the economic effect of digital ecosystems used for document management and the interaction process between carriage owners and repair enterprises.

О влиянии геометрических параметров положения растяжек на их несущую способность при закреплении колесной техники на железнодорожной платформе

Purpose: The issues of securing wheeled vehicles on a universal railway platform are considered. In practice, the most common method is securing tie-downs around the axles of the wheeled vehicles. A study has been conducted to determine the optimal parameters of wire tie-downs depending on their placement on the freight. The conducted computational experiment has revealed that the applied place of fixing the tie-downs is not optimal. The influence of various factors on the number of nails for fixing the bumping posts securing the wheeled equipment has also been investigated. Methods: The theory of planning a multifactorial experiment, methods of regression analysis are applied. Results: The influence of the geometric parameters of the placement of tie-downs on their bearing capacity has been established, provided that the wheeled equipment is secured from rolling. Practical significance: The obtained research results allow us to choose the most rational points for fixing tie-downs on the frame of wheeled vehicles and the platform. The proposed method has been tested during the transportation of wheeled vehicles from the stations of the Oktyabrskaya Railway branch of JSC “Russian Railways”.
