Determination of safety indicators of the freight wagons by mobile systems

Abstrakt

The organization of the movement of freight trains in Ukraine is an important factor in integrating the country’s railway transport into the European system. A situation that requires a significant renewal of the freight wagon park with modern wagons to meet the freight transportation requirements has arisen. Also, a significant drawback of railway transport in Ukraine is the limitation of the speed of trains, which include freight wagons with a reduced container in an empty state, therefore, at the moment, the issue of improving the methodological and software and instrumental testing tools for evaluating the quality and safety indicators of the movement of such wagons is relevant at the moment. At present, laboratory wagons are used during field tests related to the evaluation of traffic quality indicators, acceptance and admission to operation of railway rolling stock, but the modern state of development of measuring equipment allows in most cases to abandon the use of such wagons during running tests of units rolling stock in favor of mobile hardware and software complexes.
