A trailer is a wagon or a group of wagons of the same purpose interconnected, separated from the train in the process of its disbandment .
Key Features
Important characteristics of the release are:
- weight category
- cut length
- resistance to movement
These characteristics are used when managing routes on the sorting slide and the speed of the release.
Weight category - the ratio of the weight of the cutter to the number of its axes, determined by weighing each of its axes when proceeding through the weighing device.
The length of the cut is estimated by the number of its axes, measured by a special device, or determined from the data contained in the full-scale sheet of the train .
Resistance to movement , which the trailer experiences during movement, is determined by its running properties, the condition of the path , arrows , joints and curved sections, as well as environmental characteristics (temperature, air humidity, atmospheric pressure).
Dissolution Optimization
The increase in the number of cars in the trailer allows you to reduce the time for disbanding and forming the composition, to increase the productivity of the sorting slide. For the enlargement of the loops, scheduling of the loading of non-routable goods according to the purposes of the formation plan by the days of the week is used, other measures are being taken.
