Title: UTILIZATION POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC MOTOR VEHICLES AS A FUNCTION OF THEIR OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCES AND THE CAPACITY OF THE NETWORKS
Abstract: Various possibilities for optimal utilization of electric tractive units are demonstrated. The article deals with the influence exerted by the electrical and mechanical service as far as the volume of the tractive stock is concerned. The special significance of the principal objectives of sales and production is pointed out. In order to assess the rate of capacity to which the electric tractive units are utilized depending on their operational performances the distance covered, the transport performance, the periods during which a locomotive is out of service and the failures are taken into account. The annual transport performance of the West German Railroad System along with the requirements the motive power service has as to network capacity are demonstrated. The effect of the locomotives with three-phase asynchronous drive on the productivity of the electric traction is dealt with.
