Zinkivskyi A. Improved methods and models of service tests modernized locomotives

Object of research - the process of performance testing modernized locomotives. When conducting research during the processing of statistical information on the test locomotives used methods of mathematical statistics and probability theory. In clarifying the classification and design of structural formulas to create a model of operational tests applied numerical methods for solving equations of the theory of modeling and optimization. The choice of control parameters, the types of operational tests performed using analytical and expert techniques. To fulfill the criteria comparison of test results locomotives used heuristic methods for prediction and iterative calculus of variations. The reliability of theoretical assumptions, conclusions and recommendations of the confirmed results of performance tests of the modernized locomotive type M62.
