On the need to update the standards for assessing the geometry of the rail gauge

The main standards for assessing the geometry of the rail track were formed in the first half of the twentieth century and partially corrected in the 80-90s. At the same time, even at the end of the period, the speed of the bulk of passenger trains did not exceed 100-120 km / h, the weight of trains with steam locomotive traction was 1.5-2 thousand tons, and the main type of cars until 1957 were two-axle. Modern operating conditions require expanding the range of lengths of measured irregularities: from centimeter to 70-80 m, as well as differentiation of standards depending on operating conditions.

Prospects for updating track equipment

The Long-Term Development Program of Russian Railways until 2025, approved this year, is being gradually supplemented by documents defining specific steps to achieve its results. One of these is a plan for updating track equipment, which should, among other things, ensure a high-quality modernization of the fleet of operating machines, aimed at increasing the productivity and efficiency of track work. Under these conditions, the Russian market continues to be of considerable interest to foreign manufacturers, but the prospects for demand provide opportunities for the development of the domestic technological base in the field of track equipment.

Assessment of current and prospective opportunities to meet the requirements of TR CU for industrial locomotives

Locomotive fleet industrial enterprises plays a huge role in realizing the economic potential of Russia and the stability of the national railway system: it is he who provides the primary loading and unloading on the railway. Analysis consulting company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), commissioned by SUEK JSC, showed that the current conditions for the application of the requirements of TR TS 001/2011 "On the safety of railway rolling stock" do not take into account both the role and condition of the industrial park, and the availability of production and repair facilities in the Russian railway engineering. This clearly shows the need to exclude locomotives that are not on the track from the scope of the TR CU. common use, since the preservation of the existing version of the technical regulation carries significant risks for the economy.

Technical solutions in the new line of UVZ low-floor trams

Trends in the urban barrier-free environment have a significant impact on the development of tram design. The introduction of low-floor models of this equipment that meets modern requirements began in Russia in 2014, mainly in Moscow and St. Petersburg. At the same time, the demand potential for new trams in other cities remains extremely high. JSC "Uraltransmash" (part of JSC "NPK" UVZ ") has been developing the relevant developments since 2013, and in recent years has introduced a line of new models - single-section 71-415 and three-section 71-418.

Crushed stone cleaning machine SHOM-2000: technology features

Currently to technical condition railroad tracks are subject to higher requirements, namely to its stability. This provides for the implementation of a large and high-quality scope of work on maintenance of the superstructure of the track, especially the ballast prism. In order to meet the existing and future needs for the repair of the railway track, the Tulazheldormash JSC plant (part of the PTK Group) has developed a universal complex for high-speed cleaning of ballast and reconstruction of the ballast prism with the creation of a protective under-ballast layer - self-propelled crushed stone cleaning machine SHOM-2000.(Available in printed version)

Optimization of the operational fleet of tank cars

In recent years, the production of oil and oil products continues to be at a fairly high level. At the same time, in 2016-2018, the volume of loading of these goods was significantly reduced in the railway transport of the Russian Federation due to the development of the infrastructure of main pipelines. The redistribution of freight flows has led to a surplus of oil and petrol tank cars in a number of companies. At the same time, there is a need for specialized wagons for the transportation of chemical cargoes on the Russian railway. This circumstance is due to their constantly growing range, transported by rail, and the ban on the operation from January 1, 2016 of most models of tank cars with service life extension. To maintain the balance of freight turnover and reduce the idle time of wagons transport companies work is underway to optimize the composition of the fleet in operation.(Available in printed version)

AT modern world printed publications are also popular, as before, railway transport is only developing, therefore magazines, newspapers, books, in which railway workers, as well as its passengers, can receive various information, remain an integral part of it.

The "journal of communications" is being replaced by new print publications, such as the magazine "expressways", " railways peace" and others. "High-Speed ​​Lines" - a full-color industry information and analytical magazine for railway workers. The founder of the magazine is NPO Magistral LLC. The circulation of the magazine is 5000 copies.

The magazine is published once every two months and is sent free of charge to managers, chief engineers of the operational services of railways, electrification services, installation organizations, electric installation trains in all regions of Russia, and is also distributed at thematic exhibitions. The mailing list of the journal is regularly updated and supplemented.

The publication publishes interviews with leading industry experts, articles on current topics, market news, scientists' opinions, industry news, legislative projects, reviews of industry meetings and conferences, etc.

Another magazine about railway transport, which is published monthly, is called "Railroads of the World", founded in 1961, is the Russian edition of the magazine of the International Union of Railways, which is published in Brussels (Belgium) in English, German and French. The Russian edition is adapted to the needs of Russian readers, therefore it differs significantly from foreign editions.

The journal "Railways of the World" publishes articles on modern technologies and technical means in all areas of rail transport, urban rail transport and non-traditional guided transport systems such as maglev systems. To do this, the magazine cooperates with foreign railways and leading foreign and domestic manufacturers of railway equipment.

Most of the articles are devoted to foreign experience, but at the same time articles by Russian authors devoted to advanced domestic developments for railways are regularly published. Considerable attention is paid, in particular, to the following topics:

reforms in railway transport (experience European countries, USA, Latin America, etc.);

· transport policy - a strategy for the development of railways;

high-speed movement

modern rolling stock and power supply;

information and computer systems;

· microprocessor control systems for train traffic using radio communication and satellite navigation;

· modern systems communications on the railways;

· new track designs, technologies for current maintenance and repair of the track and artificial structures.

The journal publishes a large block of materials on current events on the railways of the world, the supply of new equipment, exhibitions and the work of the railway industry.

Based on the examples given printed publications about railways, it can be noted that over time, the interests of people change, therefore, slightly different topics are covered in modern magazines, more detailed information, this is due to the rapid development of railway transport in comparison with the last century and with the development of civilization as a whole.
