Abstract

One of directions of saving the energy and reducing the specific costs of carrying out the transportation work may be raising the maximum permissible speed of trains at the end of «bad» down-grades through improved track maintenance and timely removal of the existing warnings (temporarily speed restrictions) in a certain order, taking into account the economic efficiency of these activities. The article presents methods and examples of calculations of the economic evaluation of losses due to the restrictions of train traffic speed.
