Analysis on Improving Efficiency of Freight Locomotive and Crew Shifts
Railway freight locomotive and crew shifts are the source of traction power for freight trains.It is an effective way to increase output and income by improving their efficiency without increasing input.This paper analyzed the development situation of railway freight transport and the problems in the supply and use of locomotive and crew shifts in daily transport organization.On this basis,the paper started with supplying adequate and good locomotive and crew shifts and improving their efficiency,drawing on the effective measures taken in the daily transportation organization.It put forward that several measures such as adjusting locomotive and crew shift with inter-group and inter-section help based on the needs of transportation,improving the effective supply of locomotives by controlling locomotive overhaul and reserve ratio,reducing the assistant working time of locomotive attendants,improving the working plan of daily locomotives,organizing balanced transportation,strengthening centralized dispatching and unified command,and promoting information construction.
