Improvement of the technology for determining the time spent on cleaning gondola cars

Abstract

The article considers the issues of improving the technology for determining the time spent on cleaning gondola cars. The existing methods for calculating time costs are analyzed, their shortcomings are identified, and ways to optimize this process are proposed. The work takes into account factors that affect the speed and quality of cleaning, such as the degree of contamination, type of cargo, technical equipment, and organizational aspects. An improved method for calculating cleaning time is developed, which allows for increasing the efficiency of rolling stock use and reducing wagon downtime.
