RESEARCH TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM SERVICE LIFE OF RAILWAY VEHICLES BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF PASSENGER COACHES

UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUR BESTIMMUNG EINER OPTIMALEN NUTZUNGSDAUER VON EISENBAHNFAHRZEUGEN, DARGESTELLT AM BEISPIEL VON REISEZUGWAGEN

The author defines and analyzes the factors which enter into economic production and optimization requirements, and defines the notions he proposes to use such as: length of life, useful life, optimum useful life, time required to reimburse capital expenditure, and physical and moral stress of railway staff. He uses a large number of formulae to establish the model "optimum service life", explains the optimization method in this model, gives an algorithm for the application of this method, and finally demonstrates its use on DR B-type 1st and 2nd class coaches.
