The main engineering problem associated with the degradation of permafrost and cyclic freezing-thawing of seasonal permafrost soils is a decrease in the bearing capacity of engineering structures due to the degradation of the main physical-mechanical properties of the embankment soils. The cyclical change in temperature leads to regular freezing-thawing of the soil, as a result of which such types of deformations occur as heaving during freezing and settlement during thawing. The purpose of this work is to highlight new information about complex measures to stabilize the subgrade of railways and highways in the cold regions of China. The paper considers such measures as thermosiphon stabilization, rock fill, installation of ventilation pipes and laying of thermal insulation boards. This paper also describes the disadvantages of existing measures for stabilizing the temperature regime of the embankment and its base. Considered the main transport network of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, including the Qinghai-Tibet railway and four highways. The experimental section of the Wushu-Xining expressway on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau was chosen as the object of the study of numerical modeling; a numerical calculation of the temperature and moisture content fields of the typical embankment was carried out, as well as numerical calculation of the embankment with rock fill for the 10th year of operation. The calculations were carried out on the basis of the «Freeze-Cold» software package specially developed for engineering calculations of the freezing and thawing process in soils. The calculation showed that rock fill allows to reduce the area of the soil thawing, raising the front of frozen soil, helps to reduce the degradation of frozen soil, which ultimately has a positive effect on the bearing capacity of the entire engineering structure. Analysis of the collected data and calculated values allows to conclude that the use of rock fill of 0,8 meters depth as an insulating material to maintain the stability of the thermal regime of the embankment on frozen ground in the considered region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

At this time the traction electric motor (TEM) is one of the most important elements of the design of rolling stock, since the safety and stability of the transportation process on the railway network of JSC "Russian Railways" depends on its uninterrupted operation. This article is given a detailed analysis of the TEM failures of diesel locomotives of the 2,3TE10 v / series and the assigned fleet of the Novaya Chara locomotive depot of the East Siberian Traction Directorate. The section of circulation of diesel locomotives from Taksimo station to Hani station is one of the most difficult not only in the borders The East Siberian Railway, but also the entire railway network of the country. The analysis of the statistics of the reasons for the failures of the TEM of locomotives of the Novaya Chara locomotive depot for 2006 - 2012 showed that there is a rather extreme operation mode and that most of the failures are due to the breakdown of the insulation of the anchor winding of the TEM. During a research trip to the diesel locomotive maintenance site, a team of IRGUPSA scientists conducted full-scale measurements speed of movement, driving mode of the train, heating temperature of the TEM, taken into account the climate factors - ambient temperature, relative humidity, pressure and others. After studying the available information, it was proposed to additionally coat the insulation with FL-98 varnish in order to maintain and restore its properties in the conditions of the Winter locomotive depot during TR-3. IRGUPS has been working for a long time to study the process of drying insulation using infrared radiation (IR). The effectiveness of this method has been proven by numerous experimental studies. Several PhD theses have already been defended in various dissertation councils on this topic. This article presents also the statistics of failures of operated TEM already with additional varnish-impregnated insulation of open frontal parts after the implementation of measures based on the results of the work of the IRGUPS group of scientists. It is established that the method of applying the compound to the insulation of the frontal part of the windings of electric machines and encapsulating it with the help of IR radiation energy is effective in combating TEM failures due to insulation breakdown.

The urgency of the work is connected with the improvement of the components of the distributed automation system and voltage control within the framework of the development of actively adaptive electrical networks. An approach is presented to the determination of control actions within the framework of coordinated voltage control in distribution electrical networks using active elements based on multi-agent control. Voltage control in the electric network is carried out by all local regulators within the boundaries of the controlled zone under the condition of voltage stabilization. The control actions of local agents are determined as a result of coordination between each other in the type of "auction", the solution of the linearized optimization problem based on the sensitivity of the locations of the active elements to the change in voltages in the distribution network. The sensitivity of the parameters of the regime to the injection of power in the nodes of the electrical network is determined on the basis of sensory analysis of the conductivity of the network topology elements and the partial derivative of the unbalance of the constituent electrical quantities. Achieving the global goal of managing coordinating agents is achieved by optimizing the mode parameters and adjusting the work of local agents. The presented simulation results on the test circuit showed the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approaches..

The problem of increasing energy saving when using fuel in heating furnaces of forging and thermal shops for heat treatment of metal under pressure treatment (forging and stamping) and heat treatment (quenching, tempering, carburizing and nitrocarburizing) is considered. Ways to improve energy saving in industrial furnaces and issues of reducing fuel consumption in thermal processes were studied. The problem of rationalizing the regeneration of low-grade heat of flue gases was not solved fully enough, since economic factors and the influence of the determining parameters on the temperature and thermal regimes of heat recovery plants were not fully taken into account. Thus, it is relevant to address the issue of the appropriate degree of recovery of the thermal potential of the gases leaving the heating furnace, finding the most favorable parameters of heat recovery plants. A criterion is proposed for assessing the effective level of the degree of utilization of the heat of exhaust gases at the outlet from the heating furnaces. It is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the heat recovery plant and determine the optimal degree of heat recovery from flue gases leaving the heating furnace based on the difference in the changing costs for the construction and operation of the heat recovery plant. A method and an algorithm for determining the technically and economically feasible degree of utilization of low-potential heat of fuel combustion products after furnace units in a heat recovery unit have been developed. The developed algorithm provided the necessary optimality conditions, was checked for sufficiency by conducting studies on the existence of an extremum at the test point and the positivity of subsequent derivatives. The dependences of the economically viable temperature of the fuel combustion products after the heat recovery plant on the determining factors, basic values, price indicators and initial data are obtained, which, in the case of reconstruction and modernization of the furnace facilities of forge and thermal shops, minimize the costs of reconstruction and increase the efficiency of its use. The practical significance of the application of the proposed developments for practical use in the design, reconstruction and modernization of the furnace facilities of forging and thermal shops has been substantiated.

The article presents an analysis of the failures of the mechanical components of the mainline electric locomotives 2ES6 «Sinara» in operation at the landfill of the West Siberian Railway, the causes and consequences of failures of the most vulnerable nodes are determined. The analysis of failures of the mechanical components showed that a significant share of them falls on the components of the wheel-motor unit of the locomotive. The analysis of the design features of the crew part is carried out. The main structural difference of suspension is the absence of leaf springs in the axle box stage, which were widely used on electric locomotives of previous generations. In the body stage, helical springs (Flexicoil) are used instead of the cradle suspension. The connection of the traction motor with the trolley frame is a pendulum. The suspension of the traction motor to the trolley frame is carried out through a leash. When considering the vibrations of railway carriages, it is customary to represent the locomotive and the track as a single mechanical system. The task of forming a mathematical model of the «electric locomotive - path» system is set and a mathematical model of vertical vibrations of an electric locomotive is formed taking into account the dynamics of wheel-motor blocks based on the Lagrange equation of the second kind in the form of a matrix equation, which allows us to assess the loading of mechanical components in operation. The mathematical model represents a system of differential equations in which six equations determine the fluctuations of the bouncing and galloping of the body and trolleys, four - the galloping of wheel-motor blocks, four - the bouncing of wheel pairs together with the reduced mass of the track. The obtained mathematical model makes it possible to determine the level of dynamic loading of the components of the mechanical part of the electric locomotive 2ES6 «Sinara» by integrating the matrix equation using the MathCAD application package.

The authors propose a model of justification of the duration of the operation liner-tamping-straightening and construction machinery. Using this model, we can evaluate the efficiency and reliability of machines on any object. This allows you to most reliably predict the timing of production of certain types of works and their cost at the design stage. The article presents the indicators of full-scale tests and the estimation of reliability of manufacturing operations. One of the main factors of reliability of work of construction machines is the utilization of their time. All normative documents are obsolete data on the utilization of machines during the working time, which need updating, as the machines are constantly improving. To assess the reliability of working machines, the authors developed a database of the results of field tests liner-tamping-straightening machines, cranes, excavators, bulldozers, pipe layers, drilling rigs and dredges. To prove the validity of database values according to the results of full-scale tests were carried out two stages of verification: logical and mathematical. After sampling in accordance with GOST R 8.736-2011 was verified that it belongs to the law of normal distribution using the criterion of Pearson agreement. It was further calculated the reliability and risk of the planned volume of work in scheduled period of time. When it was considered the utilization ratio of machines time and the risk of deviation from the mean. The proposed approach to the assessment of duration of liner-tamping-straightening and construction machinery can be extended to any type of equipment and will allow to obtain numerical values for evaluating the reliability of production work in the scheduled time, which is very important in the construction, repair and maintenance.

The article considers methods for optimizing traffic flow management in large agglomerations by using clustering, routing and principles of queuing theory. The main study is devoted to the redistribution of resources by introducing a priority system in request processing. The influence of urgency, density and throughput of cargo flow on the system operation is analyzed and optimization algorithms are proposed to reduce waiting time, reduce costs and improve the efficiency of transport processes. The research methodology includes the use of a multi-channel queuing model to assess the impact of priority distribution of requests on the system throughput. Mathematical modeling, linear programming methods and NPV calculation for assessing economic efficiency are used to analyze the redistribution of resources. The results of the study show that the priority service system reduces the waiting time for urgent requests, but under high load it can increase the waiting time for less priority clients. The developed resource redistribution algorithm adapts the system to changes in flow intensity. The use of the proposed methods made it possible to reduce the average waiting time for priority requests by 1.5-2 times and reduce operating costs. The practical significance of the study lies in increasing the efficiency of transport processes due to the dynamic redistribution of resources. The implementation of the proposed methods can be used in logistics, courier services and transport companies to optimize the processing of requests, improve customer service and reduce costs.

Based on the proposal for the formation of a railway track for operational deployment without ballast using a sub-rail base with a viscoelastic element forcedly filled with Newton's fluid and laid on an unprepared surface without ballast, an example of calculating the interaction of a wheel and a rail with this element based on the energy method is given. The possibility of using the design of the under-rail device for the operational laying of a railway track in difficult conditions on an unprepared surface without a track ballast layer is substantiated. The elastic dynamic impact of a wheel on a rail with initial speeds along a sub-rail base in the form of a box with shells laid on an unprepared surface is considered. The kinetic energy of a wheel hitting a rail laid on the proposed under-rail base passes not only into the potential energy of deformation, but also into the energy of wave and oscillatory processes. To improve the accuracy of solving the problem of dynamic impact, the transition of a part of the energy into the energy of local deformations in the contact area of the wheel with the rail is taken into account. Within a short period of time after touching the wheel at a certain speed, all elements of the rail acquire a certain strain rate. It is assumed that at the moment of contact with the wheel, the rail does not change its original shape, and the decrease in the speed of the wheel occurs due to local deformation of the materials of the contacting bodies; this period of impact will last until the velocities of the two bodies are equalized, after which the shape of the middle surface of the rail, modeled by a Bernoulli-Euler beam, will begin to change. Since the kinetic energy of the wheel is converted into the potential energy of bending, it is taken into account in the calculation to take into account the mass of the impacted body as the load of the wheel on the rail.

At present, the “Afrosiyob” high-speed passenger train runs on the Tashkent - Samarkand, Samarkand - Karshi, Samarkand - Bukhara sections. In the near future, it is planned to launch freight trains on sections of the Bukhara-Misken route. On high-speed double - track sections Tashkent - Samarkand, Samarkand-Navаi, the movement of freight trains is combined with passenger trains. Which, in turn, negatively affects the throughput of stations and hauls. In connection with this, the actual issue is the movement of freight trains on these sections. Additional research is needed to increase the capacity of sections where freight and high-speed passenger trains run. The article considers options for the aerodynamic interaction of freight and high - speed passenger trains moving in one or the opposite direction. At the same time, the idea of the safe organization of freight trains during the movement of high-speed passenger trains was put forward. As a result of this study, the possibilities of carrying cargo trains in one direction or in the opposite direction are determined by ensuring the safety of movement on two-way parcels in which high-speed “Afrosiyob” high - speed electric trains travel. This makes it possible to develop recommendations for more effective use of the ability of parcels to conduct trains. When calculating the aerodynamic interaction, scientific ideas put forward by scientists from Europe, the USA, Russia and other countries were analyzed. Methods for solving the Navier - Stokes equations using existing programming models are described.

Recently, during overhaul of the railway track using modern materials such as geotextiles and penoplex. In turn, they make significant changes to the structure of the ballast, t. To. Are almost insulators. OSTU experimentally it has been ascertained that the contact resistance in the case of using a new type of cloth can be raised to 45 - 150 Om*km. Obviously, this leads to a significant increase in the capacity of the rail relative to a distant ground and can cause injury to personnel operating the traction members network. To determine the capacity of the rail at any point area must take into account the redistribution of power in the elements of the rail network, ie. E. In the rail and the transition resistance «rail - the land». The rail network is characterized by longitudinal rails Zp kilometricheskim resistance, transition resistance «rail - land» rp-s, and the characteristic impedance ZB kilometricheskim spreading factor γ rail network. Analysis of the results lead to the following conclusions: 1) contact resistance «rail-to-earth» has a significant impact on the value of the potentials arising on the elements of reverse current flow circuit; 2) the growth of the resistance «rail-to-earth», associated with seasonal fluctuations in soil resistivity, as well as in recent times, with the capital reconstruction of the roadbed, resulting in a significantly longer (up to several tens of kilometers) area, for which the potential can reach hazardous the value of human life; 3) in the circuit mode on a rail (m. E. When a metal short circuit) almost always rail network will occur potentials exceeding admissible values for several kilometers in both directions from the point of fault, which leads to removal of the dangerous potential at all metal construction connected with the rail and therefore requires a review of the principles of grounding structures.

The article is devoted to the issue of power loss measurement in DC traction networks. The purpose of the work is to define the indicators characterizing the degree of determining the energy loss values accuracy when using the method of restoration of the train situation. In the article the analysis of methodical error the value arising at measurement of power losses in a traction DC network is conducted. The occurrence of the error is caused by the indirect measurement method, which is based on the principle of synthesis of instantaneous circuits in real time. The synthesis is based on direct measurements of currents and voltages on the busbars of adjacent feeding and switching points, for example, a traction substation and a sectionalizing station. The data obtained are processed in accordance with the algorithms adopted in the article, as a result of which the coordinates of loads and their current consumption are calculated. In the process of synthesizing instantaneous circuits, it is possible that such a train situation may occur, which will lead to the emergence of a methodical measurement error, due to the peculiarities of the logical and mathematical apparatus of the train situation recovery method. In this paper, has been performed a probabilistic analysis of the possibility of occurrence of methodological error when several traction loads will be present simultaneously on the measuring section, that is, the dependence of the occurrence of the measure of uncertainty on the daily size of train traffic and the dependence of the occurrence of the measure of uncertainty on the minimum inter-train interval. As a result of the study, the proposed method application the limits were established by energy loss measurement the permissible error the criterion. The methodological error the value of the measurement at different variants method of movement on the railroad studied section was assessed
