Practical Implementation of Calculation of the Life Cycle Cost of Traction Rolling Stock and its Use for the Purposes of Cost Optimization

Using the example of the proposed model of freight train movement with a given track profile and different series of traction rolling stock with given technical characteristics, the practice of determining the life cycle cost of traction rolling stock by options was implemented. Examples of using the obtained results to optimize the life cycle costs of traction rolling stock are also given.
