Investigation of power switched reluctance drive as a traction one for shunting locomotives

Improving use of shunting locomotives based on changes in infrastructure of railway station

“…The driving time of a shunting locomotive with a group of wagons or separately, depending on its mileage and the requirements of regulatory documents, is determined by the following formula [2,[7][8][9][10][11]. Here respectively, w m is the number of wagons the shunting locomotive is pulling, wag;…”

“…Several scientific results have been achieved in the course of the research conducted in the world to improve the technologies of transport processes in the organization of shunting operations; in particular, fuel injection systems of shunting locomotives have been modernized, systems have been improved to increase the processing capacity of mainline and industrial railways, locomobiles have been introduced to deliver wagons to cargo facilities, traction units have been developed to push wagons to a warehouse or conveyor belt during loading and unloading operations, solar energy use systems have been created to reduce the energy consumption of shunting locomotives [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
