Analysis of reliability and sustainability of organizational and technical systems of railway transportation process

Abstract

The increase in the throughput and processing capacity of railway stations in many cases is solved through organizational and technical measures, which makes it possible to solve this problem only partially, while limiting the possibility of increasing the volume of work in the future. Private funds should become investors in the creation of specialized points for bulk staging and preparation of station cars. Car owners and manufacturers, leasing companies, and rolling stock operators are interested in creating this type of stations. The layout of the stations specialized for the car staging should ensure the implementation of a complex of processing operations: reception, sorting, dispatch, technical inspection, all types of maintenance and repair. The article presents the dynamics of the throughput capacity of the East Siberian Railway. It analyzes the indicator un-der consideration with parallel and non-parallel schedules, which determined the main factors affecting the throughput capacity of railway stations and sections of the East-Siberian Railway and the degree of their significance. To determine the main ac-teal reasons for reducing the throughput capacity of railway stations and improving the quality of use of the indicator in question, the Ishikawa diagram was constructed. It provides a systematic approach to determining the root causes of the problem under consideration based on data on the throughput capacity of railway stations in Russia in 2013-2015. The analysis of the Ishikawa diagram identified the main factors: mismatch in the level of development of the federal railway network; errors in the management of car fleets; excess of car fleets; non-uniform arrival of car traffic volumes; decrease in the quality of car fleet management; private car fleet growth.
