ABSTRACT
This article presents the methods of determining the need for train locomotives in conditions of imbalance of train
traffic. To check the reliability of the obtained results, as an example, the indicators of use of electric locomotives for
the AV circulation section were analyzed. Also, an algorithm for determining the fleet of electric locomotives needed
to service freight trains has been developed.
KEYWORDS

INTRODUCTION
In the conditions of the market economy and the
reconstruction of railway transport, the use of
effective technology of the transport process, aimed at
improving economic indicators, increasing the quality
of transport, the prestige and attractiveness of railway
transport, and the search for methods of its
implementation, is one of the urgent issues of our time.
The modern needs for the quality of transportation
require the need to increase the regularity, accuracy
and rhythm of operation of all railway lines. At the
same time, reducing freight costs and increasing their
profitability largely depends on the development and
implementation of a number of systems, the
optimization of which affects the improvement of

railway transport. One of them is a complex system for
managing the use of locomotives. For this, important
measures aimed at improving the service of the
transportation process by locomotives and locomotive
brigades are being developed. However, determining
the need for train locomotives is recognized as one of
the urgent issues in almost all railways of the world, in
a situation where train traffic is variable.
MAIN PART
When calculating the need for locomotives, it can be
divided into two parts: main and additional.
A basic need- this is the minimum number of
locomotives required to serve a certain number of
freight trains running at a certain frequency under ideal
conditions, that is, to ensure the minimum calculated
locomotive cycle time in the traffic schedule.
Additional need occurs as a result of locomotives
staying longer than the accepted technological time
standards due to waiting for the train at the turning
points.
After calculations, both of these requirements should
be increased, taking into account the uneven
movement caused by the change in the daily train flow.
The basic need for locomotives is calculated by the
following formula:
π
π

moving between passenger trains:

result, the condition "no train is absolutely waiting for
a locomotive to depart from the station" was used to
calculate the fleet of locomotives in freight traffic. In
most cases, failure to meet this condition was found to
result in increased dwell times of locomotives at
turnpike points, which was addressed by using
modeling to change this indicator in a positive
direction. In [4], the influence of the time of freight
locomotives at the turning point on the locomotive
fleet was studied. As a result, it has been determined
that the waiting time of freight trains at the turning
points of locomotives at the same movement size
varies within a certain interval, and it is scientifically
proven that the accuracy level is not high when
determining this amount of time using analytical
formulas. In [4], the influence of the time of freight

CONCLUSION
In order to determine the operating fleet of
locomotives necessary for the service of freight trains
on the railway section, it is necessary to carry out work
on the distribution of units of torque in the main depot
in proportion to the total circulation of locomotives of
each depot. This will lead to a significant improvement
in locomotive utilization in the future.
