Research of Fuel and Energy Indicators of Modernized Diesel Locomotives (Uzte16m) on the Section of the UzbekRailway

Abstract

The article considers the fuel and energy efficiency of the use of modernized diesel locomotives on the hilly - mountainous section of the Uzbek railway. Indicators was researched by the methods of the theory of locomotive traction. Three-section diesel locomotives of the UzTE16M3 series have been modernized at the facilities of enterprises in Uzbekistan. Taking into account the fact that locomotives have been in operation for more than 5-6 years, it is advisable to analyze the main indicators of the energy efficiency of transportation work. The results obtained characterize the dynamics of the transportation process in the real conditions of the organization of rail transportation of goods. The results of the research will be useful for the organization of operation in the network of Uzbek railways with a hilly-mountain type of track profile.The reference point for the implementation of this assessment was the mathematical model of the movement of a freight train developed by the authors and the algorithm for performing traction calculations, which are prerequisites for substantiating the numerical values of the parameters of the logistic indicators for the process of railway transportations of goods in real conditions of the organization of operation.
