On the method of improving sustainable development of railway transportation of cargoes in containers

Abstract

For railway transportation of cargoes, the consignors often face the necessity in development of the placement and securing methods that require design-basis justification. The applicable regulatory documents in the field of placement and securing of cargoes in the railway transport provide no method for calculation of methods for the placement and securing of cargoes in containers, although the method to justify the placement and securing of the container in the wagon is established. The absence of the approved method causes difficulties for consignors in choosing rational methods for the placement and securing of cargoes in containers and, of course, affects the sustainable development of railway transportation in containers and the transportation safety. This work is aimed at creating the method for determining the inertia forces acting on cargoes in containers during railway transportation, a well as design-basis justification of loads acting from cargo on container elements.
