FUNDAMENTALS OF MODULAR DESIGN OF PROSPECTIVE NEW GENERATION PASSENGER SLEEPING WAGONS

Purpose. The aim of the work is to study directions for creating promising competitive passenger sleeping wagons based on application principles their modular design. Methodology. research analysis literature sources, formation a system wagon modules and development basis possible variants design assessment prospects mathematical degree unification car designs. Findings. In course research, it was established that new generation should be significantly improving quality comfort transport use layout schemes relevant basic geometric module any functional purpose assumes increase in width its body 3,4 m. Systems several developed offered providing two lateral or only one vestibule located end middle bodies. proposed also provide increasing longitudinal passages rooms, equipping with different numbers bathrooms depending type intended purpose, equivalent size parameters berths reserved compartment appropriate class. Originality. scientific novelty first time, selected concepts, various purposes, definitions evaluation systems wagons. Practical value. Developed significant levels, improve safety transport, as well reduce timing amount funding cars classes maintenance repairs during operation.
