  • Innovative Doubly-Fed Freight Electric Locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir”
    MATEC Web of Conferences 239, 01001(2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf /201823901001 TransSiberia 2018 Innovative doubly-fed freight electric locomotive 2EV120 “Knyaz' Vladimir” Kirill Domanov1,* 1Omsk State Transport University, 644046, Marx av., 35, Omsk, Russia Abstract. The paper considers a new doubly-fed freight electric locomotive taking into account the world experience of locomotive construction, the regulatory base and operating conditions on the railways of Russia. Its parameters are presented: the main technical characteristics in comparison with currently used electric locomotives of new series, standard traction characteristics, and the characteristic of electric braking. Features of the design of the units and parts of the undercarriage and brake equipment are given. The studied doubly-fed freight electric locomotive is designed taking into account the optimal combination of equipment backup capabilities and increased operational reliability with minimization of the failure flow causing the withdrawal of two or more traction axles due to the faults. It has promising possibilities for replacing outdated locomotives with alternating and direct current, operated on sections with changing and adjacent stations, electrified on a constant and single-phase alternating current in the places where such sections are joined to the extent of the organization of traffic control according to the principles of working domain technologies. In this case, the joints between the two types of the train current can pass nearly without stopping, their running time is shortened, and the performance indicators are improved. 1 Introduction The development of rail transport in Russia is a strategic task. In the conditions of a dynamically changing economic situation and an active desire to fill a niche of leadership among other modes of transport, modernization, improvement of rolling stock and infrastructure is required, which is impossible without scientific research taking into account global socio-economic changes and innovations.

  • 10. Social Impact Assessment
    Social impact assessment 10-1 10. SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 10.1 Project social area of influence In line with PS1, the assessment of social impacts is carried out over the PSAoI. This PSAoI is defined to include certain areas and communities, where both positive and negative direct social impacts are going to be perceptible in the various phases of the Project. Based on the Project description, and particularly the location and delineation of facilities, and on potential impacts of the various components, the PSAoI includes the following areas and communities: Within the territory of Svobodnensky District, the territory of the following three adjacent Village Councils (‘selsovet’): o Dmitrievka, within which the settlements of Dmitrievka, Ust-Pera , Yukhta and Yukhta 3 are part of the PSAoI; o Zheltoyarovo, within which the settlement of Chernigovka is part of the PSAoI; o Nizhny Buzuli, which includes land that is affected by the Project but no close-by settlement. The town of Svobodny. 10.2 Overview of impacts Based on the preliminary assessment of potential social impacts conducted at scoping stage and on the outcome of further baseline studies, the identification and assessment of social impacts is presented in the following table. Associated impact management measures are presented in further detail in sections 10.5 (in overview) and 10.6 (in further detail). 10.3 Assessment of positive social impacts Positive impacts (see impacts A1 to A5 in Table below) are related to the economic benefits that the Project will bring to the communities of the PSAOI, which are currently economically depressed and in need of economic development, as shown by the baseline studies.

  • Container and Multimodal Railway Transportations in Russia Commissioned By
    Ruslan Aliev CONTAINER AND MULTIMODAL RAILWAY TRANSPORTATIONS IN RUSSIA Bachelor’s thesis Degree Programme in Business Logistics 2020 Author Degree Time Ruslan Aliev Degree Programme April 2020 in Business Logistics Thesis title 67 pages Container and multimodal railway transportations in Russia Commissioned by Kouvola Innovation Oy Supervisor Jouni Ropponen Abstract Railway container transportation is one of the fastest-growing areas of the transport industry in Russia. Even though Russia is not a leading country in terms of the share of container transport by rail today, it gives them very important strategic importance. With its vast geographical area, Russia has very good opportunities for becoming a transport giant. Container and multimodal rail transportation in Russia and the prospects for their further development were studied in this thesis including current situation of rail container transportation in Russia, positions of the transport system of Russia in the world, current trends of the Russian transport market, role of the state in modernizing railway infrastructure and the technologies that are used in railway container transportation. In addition, the Kouvola-Xi'an route was analyzed in detail. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis were used. Quantitative methods were used to formalize statistics for a clear understanding of the topic and qualitative methods were employed in the form of interviews found on the Internet and annual reports of companies. The paper showed that Russia has great potential for increasing freight traffic, especially in transit. The continuous work to modernize the infrastructure will most likely lead to an increase in freight traffic. Innovation is an important component for development.

Lampyris noctiluca (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) covers an extensive transpalaearctic range (Medvedev & Ryvkin 1992; Geisthardt & Sato 2007; Kazantsev 2010, 2011) with unclear boundaries of distribution on the periphery. The eastern sector of the range has been studied the least. Until recently, from the Amur region (within the borders of the Amurskaya oblast' and Khabarovskii krai of Russia) three points of collection of L. noctiluca were known. However, this which does not give a detailed idea of the range of the species in this region (Kazantsev 2010) (Fig. 1). Our research provided material from the basins of the Amur and Uda rivers, which significantly clarifies the northern boundary of distribution in the eastern sector of the range of Lampyris noctiluca. Lampyris noctiluca is also firstly recorded for the Heilongjiang province in China and the Evreiskaya avtonomnaya oblast' in Russia.
