| Summary: | The issue of operative data reception on location
and movement of railcars is significant the constantly
growing requirements of the provision of timely and safe
transportation. The technical solution for efficiency improvement
of data collection on rail rolling stock is the
implementation of an identification system. Nowadays,
there are several such systems, distinguished in working
principle. In the authors’ opinion, the most promising for
rail transportation is the RFID technology, proposing the
equipping of the railway tracks by the stationary points
of data reading (RFID readers) from the onboard sensors
on the railcars. However, regardless of a specific type and
manufacturer of these systems, their implementation is affiliated
with the significant financing costs for large, industrial,
rail transport systems, owning the extensive network
of special railway tracks with a large number of stations
and loading areas. To reduce the investment costs for
creation, the identification system of rolling stock on the
special railway tracks of industrial enterprises has developed
the method based on the idea of priority installation
of the RFID readers on railway hauls, where rail traffic volumes
are uneven in structure and power, parameters of
which is difficult or impossible to predict on the basis of
existing data in an information system. To select the optimal
locations of RFID readers, the mathematical model
of the staged installation of such readers has developed
depending on the non-uniformity value of rail traffic volumes,
passing through the specific railway hauls. As a result of that approach, installation of the numerous RFID
readers at all station tracks and loading areas of industrial
railway stations might be not necessary,which reduces the
total cost of the rolling stock identification and the implementation
of the method for optimal management of transportation
process.
