(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Arpul, Serhii V.; Artemchuk, Viktor V.; Babyak, Mykola O.; Vasilyev, Viacheslav E.; Hetman, Hennadii K.; Marikutsa, Serhii L.
EN: Abstract. The paper considers the issues of reducing the energy intensity of transportation at opencast mining enterprises, the relevance of which has now increased due to the rise in the cost of fuel and energy resources. It presents the study results concerning the cost structure of the electricity consumed by electric mine transport, which form the basis for the development of technical and operational measures to reduce the energy intensity of the transportation process. It is shown that the work to reduce the electricity consumption for mined rock transportation should be aimed at: - Reduction of losses in the power circuits of the traction rolling stock due to the use of more advanced electric rolling stock and regulation of the degree of utilization of the installed traction power; - Introduction of new contact materials for electrical circuits with the lowest possible resistivity, including for current collector plates; - Introduction of measures to reduce energy consumption for power supply of auxiliary circuits; - Development and implementation of rational train control techniques. The introduction of energy-saving measures should include the development and application of effective methods for calculating individual norms of energy consumption and incentives for energy saving of the employees involved in the organization of the transportation process.
Artificial Neural Network Based Detection of Neutral Relay Defects
(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Havryliuk, Volodymyr I.
EN: Abstract. The problem considered in the work is concerned to the automatic detecting and identifying defects in a neutral relay. The special design of electromechanical neutral relays is responsible for the strong asymmetry of its output signal for all possible safety-critical influences, and therefore neutral relays have negligible values of dangerous failures rate. To ensure the safe operation of relay-based train control systems, electromechanical relays should be periodically subjected to routine maintenance, during which their main operating parameters are measured, and the relays are set up in accordance with technical regulations. These measurements are mainly done manually, so they take a lot of time (up to four hours per relay), are expensive, and the results are subjective. In recent years, fault diagnosis methods based on artificial neural networks (ANN) have received considerable attention. The ANN-based classification of relay defects using the time dependence of the transient current in the relay coil during its switching is very promising for practical utilization, but for efficient use of ANN a lot of data is required to train the artificial neural network. To reduce the ANN training time, a pre-processing of the time dependence of relay transient current was proposed using wavelet transform and wavelet energy entropy, which makes it possible to reveal the features of the main defects of the relay armature, contact springs, and magnetic system. The effectiveness of the proposed approach for automatic detecting and identifying of the neutral relays defects was confirmed during testing of the relays with various artificially created defects.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Berlov, Oleksandr V.; Gunko, Olena Yu.; Chernyatyeva, Kateryna
EN: Abstract. At present time, in Ukraine the intensive development of solid-propellant missiles takes place. These missiles are called «Grim», «Grim-2», etc. Transportation of rocket propellant very often is carried out by trains. In the case of accident during such transportation great amount of toxic chemicals may be emitted into atmosphere. It is very important to predict the atmosphere pollution level near railways transport corridors to obtain the realistic information about the size of possible zones of hitting. To forecast the atmosphere pollution in the case of rocket propellant burning in railway wagon numerical models have been developed. These models are developed to predict the atmosphere pollution in two scales. The first scale is the simulation of the atmosphere pollution near the railway tracks (so called “local scale”). The second scale is the simulation of the atmosphere pollution on the territory which is adjacent to the railway tracks («urban scale»). The forecast is based on the Lagrangian model of toxic chemical dispersion. The models allow also to predict acid rain formation in the case of solid propellant burning products dispersion into atmosphere. To solve the governing equations we used difference schemes of splitting. The results of numerical experiments are presented.

Capital Investments in the Context of Sustainable Development of Railways
(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Kharchenko, Olesia I.; Okorokov, Andrii; Vernigora, Roman V.; Tsuprov, Pavlo; Papakhov, Oleksandr Yu.; Logvinova, Nataliia A.
ENG: Abstract. Ukraine, due to its geographical position and developed transport infrastructure, has significant potential as a transit country, primarily in the supply chain of trade between Asia and Europe. According to the estimates of the British Institute for Transport Rendell Ukraine, the transit coefficient of Ukraine is 3,75 (with a maximum of 5); This is the best indicator among the countries of Europe (for comparison, in Poland, which occupies the second place, this indicator is 2,92). Nowadays, Ukraine uses its transit potential extremely insufficiently and inefficiently; over the past 10 years, the volume of transit traffic through the territory of Ukraine has declined by more than 2,5 times, primarily due to the fall in transit traffic by rail. One of the reasons for this situation is, of course, the general political and economic situation in the country. However, there are a number of other negative factors that prevent Ukraine from fully and effectively using its transit potential. These problems lie both in the purely technical plane (deterioration of transport infrastructure and rolling stock, lack of capacity of the main transport routes, underdevelopment of logistics terminals in the country and at land borders, difference in width with the European railway system) and the legislato-thick (high level of port dues, bureaucratization and regulation of customs procedures, lack of flexible tariff policy for carriers, etc.).

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Kapitsa, Michail І.; Laguta, Vasiliy V.; Kozik, Yuriy
ENG: Abstract. The objective of the article is to determine the quality conditions of a locomotive traction motor frame insulation based on observations over the recovery voltage and classification of a tested insulation wear degree as well as to determine estimates of operating time until the insulation restoration or replacement with a new one. To classify the insulation quality conditions and to forecast its residual life until the restoration, a cluster analysis and discriminant analysis are used based on indicators reflecting the properties of an insulation recovery voltage curve. The study defines an information content received from frame insulation recovery voltage readings as compared with its resistance from the perspective of testing the insulation condition and predicting its residual life. Statistical characteristics of clusters corresponding to the insulation condition stages allow determining the limit values of predicting parameters and estimating the residual insulation life prior the restoration. To classify the insulation condition, an integrated evaluation of the insulation condition quality is proposed. Integrated evaluation is performed according to the recovery voltage curve and is used as an indicator during clustering. An experimental study of the proposed method practically confirmed its effectiveness.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Gallas, Dawid; Merkisz, Jerzy; Andrzejewski, Maciej; Tomaszewski, Sylwin; Strzemkowski, Jan; Kinter, Stepan O.
EN: Abstract. The article discusses the results of applying real driving emissions (RDE) testing methods in measuring the exhaust emissions of a passenger rail vehicle. Portable Emissions Measuring Systems (PEMS) were used to measure the exhaust emissions from a motor coach in real operation, performed on a test track for selected drive cycle parameters. The road emission values of exhaust components have been calculated and compared to road vehicles and road exhaust emission limits based on the legal norms. The assessment was concluded with a comparison of the environmental cost, in terms of exhaust emissions, of transporting passengers using the tested rail vehicle relative to alternative road transport, based on measurements in real operating conditions.

(Les Ulis: EDP Sciences-Web of Conferences, France, 2019) Sychenko, Viktor G.; Kuznetsov, Valeriy; Kosariev, Yevhen; Bekh, Petro V.; Sayenko, Yuriy; Styslo, Bohdan O.; Pavlichenko, Mihail; Vasilev, Ihor; Pulin, Mykola M.
ENG: Abstract. The growing shortage of energy resources to provide heavy traffic and high-speed traffic necessitates the development of a new power supply scheme for a traction network using sources of distributed generation of electric energy. Application of asymmetric distributed traction power system with the use of distributed generation allows to increase electric energy efficiency of the feed system of rolling stock, reduce its material capacity and increase the reliability of the functioning of the railway system as a whole. The proposed structure of the hybrid electric traction system involves the creation of a new paradigm aimed at ensuring high demands on the voltage and specific power in the traction network, which will allow to improve the quality and safety of the transportation process when increasing the energy performance indicators. This paradigm will allow to form a new philosophy of building traction power systems. The key elements of this philosophy are decentralization of generation and consumption of electric energy, the use of intelligent electric equipment, distributed power supply management in a single information space of the energy process during transportation. The peculiarity of the proposed work is the optimal combination of technological processes of transmission, consumption of electric energy and transportation, taking into account the specific conditions of functioning of the electrified section: points of connection of power sources and their type, profile of the track, schedule of trains, types of rolling stock and equipment. Conceptually, the hybrid traction power system is an electric hub, in which the inputs are generating points, and the output is the power supply system of the rolling stock. The internal structure of the electric power objects of the hub is determined by the type of transformation and accumulation of electric energy and ways of managing these objects in real time.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Kuzyshyn, Andriy; Batig, Andriy V.; Sobolevska, Julia H.; Kostritsa, Sergei A.; Ursulyak, Lyudmila V.; Dovhaniuk, Stepan S.
EN: Abstract. The analysis of cases of rolling stock derailment from the track at PJSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» over the past 5 years has been carried out and their main types are given. It is noted that the rapid development and improvement of computer technology allows the use of computer and mathematical modelling in the study of cases of rolling stock derailment from the rail track, which makes it possible to take into account a combination of factors that have the main influence on the behavior of rolling stock when moving along the track. It has been established that the first step is the construction of a mathematical model of an object using a selected type of mathematical description: algebraic, differential, integral equations, discrete mathematics, set theory, and others. And the second step is the choice of a method for solving these models. The simulation methods are given, which, depending on the programming style, are divided into: procedural-oriented, object-oriented, logical-oriented, rule-oriented, and oriented to constraints. An objectoriented programming of a freight car has been developed, which will make it possible to evaluate its main dynamic indicators, in particular, indicators of stability from derailment. This in turn will facilitate the establishment of the main causes of rolling stock derailment from the rail track.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Batig, Andriy V.; Hrytsyshyn, Petro; Kuzyshyn, Andriy; Milyanych, Andriy R.; Voznyak, Oleh M.; Tereshchak, Yuriy V.
EN: Abstract. A freight wagon is a collection of a large number of parts and assemblies that form a single structure. During wagon operation, there are gradual changes in the characteristics and parameters of its structural elements. That is, the parameters of its constituent elements change – their numerical values increase or decrease that result in a change of the unit’s technical state, and, in turn, affects the totality of its performance. Gradually accumulating, the changes in the parameters of the structural elements of a wagon reach such a level that radical, sometimes abrupt qualitative change occurs. A malfunction that has not been repaired timely may lead to a failure of a wagon structural element, which, in turn, may result in rolling stock derailment. It has been established that the loss of stability of freight wagons during their movement is most often due to their unsatisfactory dynamic properties, which can be explained by design features and technical state of running gears. In this regard, the authors of the article have developed an algorithm for investigation technical state of running gears of freight wagons and determined the effect of their parameters’ deviation on rolling stock operation with possible further derailment.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Zelenko, Yuliia V.; Bezovska, Maryna S.; Leshchynska, Anna L.; Shnaiderman, Alexandr
EN: The problem of improving environmental safety in the handling of oily waste and sludge is relevant for most industries. Significant amounts of waste oil adversely affect virtually all components of the environment. However, it is also a valuable hydrocarbon feedstock. Thus, a rational approach to the processing of sludge can have a significant environmental and economic effect. The shortcomings of traditional thermal technologies for the disposal of technological sludge and suggests using much cheaper mechanical methods were discussed in this article. For example, install decanters of various designs in a depot depending on the overall composition of the sludge and the composition of each of its main parts: the carbon-containing part, water and mechanical impurities. A modern scheme for the disposal of technological sludge from railway infrastructure enterprises has been proposed. Such a scheme allows to reduce the man-made load associated with their accumulation, circulation and minimization. The most promising example of the use of the proposed technology of utilization of oil sludge is its implementation at the local sewage treatment plants of locomotive and wagon depots.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Zhukovyts’kyy, Ihor; Pakhomova, Victoria N.; Domanskay, Halyna; Nechaiev, Andrew
ENG: Abstract. Ensuring interoperability of railway transport is possible only due to the developed information structure. Today, Ukraine uses the information-telecommunication system (ITS) of railway transport, which is based on a data communication network. The effectiveness of its work is largely determined by the routing system. The current algorithm for choosing the shortest route, which is used in the existing routing protocol (OSPF), does not always lead to an effective result. However, there is MPLS technology, which could improve the quality of the ITS network by creating virtual channels between its nodes. The authors proposed a scheme for selecting tunnels for the flows in the MPLS network, which is based on the neural model of a multilayer perceptron of configuration 18–3–3–10 with the activation function Softmax in hidden layers and a linear activation function in the input layer. To simulate the network operation, flow data is needed: class of service (CoS), sender and recipient identifiers, average flow rate vector and tunnel data (their initial load). The final load of the tunnels is taken as the resulting output of the neural network, on the basis of which the tunnel is selected for the flow of the k-th class of service.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Kopytko, Vasyl; Dziuba, Sergei; Mìshchenko, Maxym; Shargun, Tetyana
EN: Abstract. The efficiency increasing of railway transport functioning is a main factor in the economic growth of the national economy. Material reserves are the main factor that defines the strategy of the enterprise and influences on the economic optimization level of logistic connections in general. Waste on deficiency and expense of storing the taken out from the main turnover material reserves redouble the economic situation. In this research the sources of the arising an uncertainty by taking a decision about economic optimization of logistic connections and working out methods of need determination in conditions of a certain uncertainty that will be led to improvement of the economic effectiveness of activity are determined. The best methods that may be used for this purpose are analysis of temporary series, multiple regression and correlation analysis, pattern recognition. The paper presents the results of research that allow, based on the built neuro-fuzzy model, to evaluate the dependence of macroeconomic indicators of the national economy of Ukraine on the indicators characterizing its economic situation in order to improve the control efficiency of logistics systems. The built neuro-fuzzy model, unlike existing models, allows reproducing the complex nonlinear dependences.
The Effect of Ozone on Wet Atmospheric Corrosion of Aluminium of High-Voltage Lines
(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Tatarchenko, Galina; Beloshitskaya, Nataliia; Sychenko, Viktor H.; Liashuk, Vitalii M.
EN: Annotation. One of the factors influencing traffic safety is the uninterrupted power supply of interlocking devices. As a rule transmission of electric energy is carried out using aluminum wires. In order to assess the reliability of power lines in the work, research was carried out on the influence of ozone on corrosion of aluminum in a humid atmosphere and acidic medium. It was found that the presence of oxygen dissolved in acetic acid leads to anode currents increase, while at crossover ozone, cathode currents increase by an order of magnitude and 2-3 times the anode decreases; the corrosion potential of an Ecor shifts to the positive side at 0.15V. The decrease in the density of anode currents in the presence of ozone proceeds due to the growth of the thickness of the aluminum oxide film. According to the Augerspectra, the film is increased by 3-4 times compared with the nonzonized medium, due to which the corrosion resistance of aluminum Кm increases from 0.066 to 0.025 g/(m2∙h). The rate of formation of oxides depends on the concentration of oxidants in the solution, and on their oxidative activity. According to calculations of thermodynamic factors that determine the preferred route of oxidation, the probability of formation of oxides in the presence of ozone is significantly higher. Local destruction of the protective layer occurs mainly in defective places and places of local increase in pH of the electrode layer. Investigation of the cyclic polarization of a sample of aluminum, pre-cathode activated by a current of 1 mA/cm2 density, showed the presence of hysteresis, which decreases in the next 2-3 cycles. In this case, the exterior of the aluminum shifts to (0.10 ÷ 0.15) V is more positive and the corrosion rate is reduced, which indicates the formation of an oxide film in which irreversible changes occur. The change in the inclination of the polarization curves indicates that the cathodic reaction is delayed and is associated with the change in the structure of the surface layer of the electrode and the diffusion restrictions of ozone recovery.

(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan; Les Ulis: EDP Sciences-Web of conferences, 2019) Kozachenko, Dmytro M.; Gera, Bogdan V.; Sannytskyy, Nazar М.; Hermaniuk, Yuliia M.; Shargun, Tetyana
ENG: Abstract. Ukraine has undertaken the implementation of European Union Directives, which provide nondiscriminatory admission to the railway infrastructure of independent carriers. A significant number of factors considerably affect working conditions of the carriers which are independent of Ukrzaliznytsia. One of the goals while performing transportation by independent carriers is the organization of private locomotives operation and their service by engine crews. The purpose of the article is to assess technical and economic indices of private locomotives use for goods transportation. The schemes of infrastructure objects arrangement for locomotives operation and engine crews work are presented. Performed calculations show the potential possibility of independent railway carriers to fulfil transportation to seaports with the use of its private locomotive infrastructure exclusively. The estimation of economically expedient volumes of cargo transportation by private locomotives in comparison with existing pricing of Ukrzaliznytsia is carried out. The nonlinear dependence of transportation volume depending on the distance is determined, at which the total cost of cargo transportation by Ukrzaliznytsia locomotives is equal to the cost of cargo transportation by private locomotives. The results of the study allow concerned companies to evaluate the investment efficiency into the development of locomotive fleet for rail transportation.
