Scheduling of maintenance times for locomotives at the depot

Abstract

Currently, the applied structure of train service schemes in combination with severe climatic conditions by diesel locomotives and locomotive brigades requires the installation (justification) of an optimal repair production system to increase the operational reliability of diesel locomotives in the path of the rolling stock. This research work is associated with TS-2 (maintenance) and CR -1 (current repair), since due to the fact that this type of repair production costs about 30-50% of the cost of depot repair of rail cars, there is a tendency in world practice to switch from the maintenance and repair of locomotive microprocessor control systems, as well as automated technical diagnostic systems.
