PROSPECTS FOR HIGH-SPEED CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION BY THE “FINIST” ELECTRIC TRAIN (ES104/ES105)
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Purpose: To consider the existing logistics possibilities in the sphere of transportation of non-bulky cargo and small consignments, as well as a prospective use of a high-speed electric train for container transportation, and to determine the train axle load, capacity and equipment layout. To determine the prospective directions of operation, the container parameters, and the placement methods. Methods: The analysis and comparative evaluation of solutions in the field of high-speed freight transportation in other countries. Results: A thorough analysis of the existing logistics solutions in the field of freight transportation by road and rail has been conducted, and the global practices have been taken into account. The key parameters of the rolling stock, including the traction motor output power, weight and axle load, have been determined. The prospects of integrating the proposed model into the existing transportation network have also been established. The container parameters, as well as the methods of cargo loading and placement in the train car, have been proposed. Practical significance: The implementation of the high-speed container transportation model, utilising rail multiple units, will lead to substantial improvements in the delivery time of container cargo. This will result in a reduced road freight transportation, consequently minimising harmful emissions into the environment, accidents and highway congestion. The model will enhance the efficiency of existing railway infrastructure in terms of speed, while also expanding transportation opportunities.
