COMPLEX OPTIMIZATION OF LUBRICANT CONSUMPTION TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR TRACTIVE ROLLING STOCK
The authors follow a complex approach to deal with the waste of lubricants in railway transport. Of special importance is proper maintenance of tractive rolling stock to ensure its reliable operation. There is a focus on the set of factors affecting lubricant consumption. The scheme of complex mechanization is introduced; engineering and economic aspects are paid special attention to. The scheme is to identify and eliminate all wastes both at the planning stage and at the operating stage, i.e. using lubricants for maintenance and repair of tractive rolling stock.
