AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF COMBINED FLEET OF FREIGHT LOCOMOTIVES AT HANDLING YARD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B61L27/00 G05B15/02 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automation and computer engineering and can be used on railway transport for controlling a combined fleet of locomotives. The system includes a central processing unit, a communication server, a data transmission channel, hardware-software of automated workstations of the station duty officer and the locomotive depot duty officer, a simulation unit, a memory unit. The system further includes an user interface, hardware-software processors of the automated workstations of an employee of the traffic control department and an employee of the towing resource management centre and a simulation unit. The simulation unit includes a generator for generating data on the presence of locomotives on handling areas, an unit for calculating operation of locomotives until the next maintenance, an unit for analysing availability of locomotive engines for trains and an unit for supporting decision making, a generator for generating data on the technical plan of the content of locomotives, generators for generating data on the actual demand for locomotives, actual release of locomotives from the depot, presence of locomotives at locomotive service stations, presence of locomotives at the station and at the depot, an unit for analysing deviations in the content of locomotives, an unit for supporting decision making, a unit for monitoring adherence to set standards and a memory unit.

EFFECT: high efficiency of using locomotives.
