The key indicators of the company’s innovation activity are such indicators as labor productivity growth, the volume and efficiency of innovative technical means implemented, energy efficiency of the transportation process, the number of security documents received for the results of intellectual activity.

In the conditions of a difficult economic situation, the company is forced to reduce the amount of funding for the work provided for by the scientific and technical development plan. At the same time, the share of funds from the business community and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research attracted for research and development work increases annually.

In accordance with the import substitution program, together with the Italian company ESM S.P.A., a multi-station microprocessor centralization system with integrated auto-locking is being created. For the first time, a project with open source software and a computer-aided design system is being implemented according to Russian regulatory safety requirements. It is envisaged to use low-maintenance floor equipment of domestic production, i.e. the system will have a high level of adaptability. The cost of its life cycle will be 20% less compared to the currently supplied microprocessor centralization systems.

The technology of organizing the movement of freight trains according to energy-optimal schedules was further developed within the framework of train traffic management in the direction. A significant result of 2014 was the implementation of end-to-end planning of the train schedule and the virtually complete elimination of quasi-junctions between roads in the directions from Inskaya station to Chelyabinsk-Main and Yekaterinburg-Sortirovochny stations. Currently, more than 1.8 thousand locomotives are equipped with devices for informing the driver about the current energy-optimal train schedule, there is an automatic garter for trains of locomotives and locomotive crews. The use of this technology only at the specified landfill gave an annual energy savings of more than 120 million kWh and ensured the departure of freight trains according to the schedule at the level of 75%, the passage – at the level of 35%.

One of the key areas of implementation of the company’s scientific and technical policy is the introduction of innovations in the infrastructure complex, where the share of expenses for transportation activities is about 35% of the total. The priority here is to reduce the cost of the life cycle of objects, provided that the safety of the transportation process and a high level of reliability of technical means are ensured. A number of innovative solutions in infrastructure maintenance are presented at.

Exactly one hundred years ago, the world’s first track measuring car designed by Nikolai Emelyanovich Dolgov went on its first flight. And now Russian engineers are not giving up their positions in this high-tech segment. Thus, the diagnostic complexes “Era” and “Integral” are superior to foreign analogues “Archimedes” (Italy), IRIS 320 (France) both in terms of the number of controlled parameters and the degree of automation of management and information processing processes. A new stage in the development of mobile diagnostic tools was the first complex for monitoring the infrastructure of the Baikal-Amur mainline, created on the basis of the 2TE116 diesel locomotive. It replaces several cars of infrastructure diagnostics and, most importantly, during the inspection affects the track with an axial load of up to 23.5.

Analysis of the prospects for the development of diagnostic tools has shown the need to equip the infrastructure of high-speed electric trains “Sapsan” with diagnostic complexes. Russian specialists are creating an innovative on-board diagnostic system that evaluates the infrastructure of the St. Petersburg – Moscow line according to 76 parameters. The beginning of fundamentally new technologies of the XXI century has been laid, radically changing the structure of technical diagnostic tools and repeatedly increasing the efficiency and reliability of the information received.

Another example of the capabilities of the Russian design school is the implementation of a new approach to solving the problem of optimizing the interaction of rolling stock and track. The introduction of an asynchronous traction drive made it possible to reduce both unsprung masses and the impact on the path by 50%. The next step is to switch to software methods. Thus, the use of a new version of the traction converter software developed by specialists for 2ES10 and 2ES7 electric locomotives has significantly improved a number of indicators and reduced the impact of the locomotive on the path in small radius curves by a third.

For the first time on the road network, experimental operation of wagons with an axial load of 27 tc began to determine their impact on the track and artificial structures. The tests carried out on the Kovdor – Murmansk section of the Oktyabrskaya Railway will be completed in August 2015. But it can already be stated with confidence that very interesting results have been obtained, which are extremely important both for the current maintenance of the track and for the design of new-generation railcars.

The company is actively implementing the regulatory framework of the URRAN methodology. Currently, 10 interstate and national standards, 14 corporate standards, more than 60 methodological documents for various farms have been developed. One of the examples of the effectiveness of such documentation can be the results of the introduction of a methodology developed by our specialists over the entire 1520 mm gauge space, which allows us to determine freight cars to be decommissioned according to the reliability and safety indicators of cast trolley parts. More than 3 thousand. The side frames were seized according to the instructions of Roszheldornadzor and more than 13 thousand more were rejected at technical inspection points, joint work with specialists of the railways of Austria and Switzerland showed our priority in this area.

Currently, the development of a regulatory framework for determining the physical deterioration of infrastructure facilities is being completed.

URRAN indicators are used in the preparation of requirements for the purchase of products for JSC “Russian Railways”. It is especially important to use the URRAN methodology to optimize the planning of facilities for modernization and repair of the track in conditions of lack of funding.

The technical regulations of the Customs Union stipulate the requirement to have the necessary set of operational and repair documentation for manufactured products already at the certification stage, which meets the interests of consumers and will contribute to improving the level of train safety. The company is working on the analysis of related technical regulations being developed and the elimination of identified collisions.

Interaction with suppliers will develop in terms of further implementation of the IRIS standard, the application of the UR-RAS standards in the organization of procurement activities, the creation of a system of technical audit of car repair enterprises of all forms of ownership in the countries of the Customs Union, and in a number of other areas.

The key task in the quality management unit of internal processes is the formation of the production system of JSC “Russian Railways”, which ensures an increase in the efficiency of operational activities and motivates employees to its continuous improvement. The implementation of lean manufacturing projects, the development of metrological support, the accreditation of the company’s testing centers in the accreditation system of Russia and individual ones in the Dakks system are aimed at this.

One of the key components of quality management of internal processes is a clear organization of metrological support. Currently, the reorganization of the metrological complex has been completed. On all railways there are metrology centers serving all structures of the holding.
