The Development of Ways to Reduce Failures during the Operation of Passenger Cars
In the railway industry, a large number of assets, including passenger cars, require detailed accounting of malfunctions and assessment of their technical condition. In the article, the main task is to study the malfunctions of passenger train cars. The purpose of the paper is to conduct an analysis that allows the transport company to obtain detailed information about the detection of cases of equipment failure of passenger cars. The main cause of breakdowns or failures is poor-quality equipment at the car repair plant, while the responsibility for malfunctions falls on the car repair plant. The article uses theoretical research methods: modeling, statistical methods and SWOT analysis. The results of the study are summarized as follows: improving the feedback mechanism with conductors and passengers of wagons and the data exchange mechanism between the repair plant and the fault detection department will reduce the time to receive information about possible failures and reduce the repair time.
