SOVIET CIVIL AVIATION DEVELOPMENTS DISCUSSID
Paris AIR & COSMOS in French 23 Feb 80 pp 36, 48
[TextJ A. Nazarov, first deputy minister of civil aviation, USSR, announced
- that the high-capacity, four-engine jet aircraft, the I1-86, will be placed
- in regular service on Soviet air routes next July. Mr. Nazarov specified
that the airliner, equipped to carry 350 passengers, will be used first on
rou~es linking Moscow with the spas and seaside resorts of the Crfinea ax~d
the Caucasus.
Since the beginning of the plan (in 4 years) Aeroflot has transported 393
million passengers and 11 million metric tons of ire~tght. This year the
Soviet company expects to transport more than 103 million passengers, which
corresponds to a traffic volume ~f 159 billion passenger-kilometers. Besides -
the i1-86, the Yak-42 (:~20 passengers) and the Czechoslovakian L-410, a
new STOL version of which is currently being tested, will be placed in reg-
ular service. `
Mr Nazarov stressed that civil aviation is one of the most rapidly growing
branchea of Soviet activity; but some deficiencies are pointsd out, namely
with regard to non-mainte:~ance of schedulea: 12 percent of these cases are
attributable to Aeroflot personnel. The average delay in baggage delivery,
which was 30 to 40 minutes 3 years ago, has been reduced to 15 minutes. A -
new automated passenger reservation system, the ASX-5, will be placed in
_ service and will replace the Sirene system.
It is noted that the Aeroflot leaders no longer make any references to the ~
TU-144.

- fo~mulation of plans concerni~g shipments and the technical and
operating indicators of rolling stock utilization as it applies
to trucks, buses and taxis and the delivery of freight to the
basic clients of ministries and departments~ and calculating
requirements for motor vehicles ~ fue1. and lubricating ~naterials .
This makes it possible to raise the level of planning~ shorten
the plan development period and insure that our calculations
are of a multivariant type.
With the creation of productive motor vehicle administrations
(associations), the enlargement of motor vehicle transport en-
terprises and the improvement of dispatcher cantrol operations ~
that resulted from this, it beeame possible to centralize the -
planning and control of both intracity and intraoblast ship-
ments. In this area~ a special place is occupied b~r the soZu-
tion of optimization transportation problems with the help of
computers: calculating daily shift assignments for drivers~
drawing up hourly schedules of motor vehicle operation for
- grain and sugar beet shipments~ securiz~,g suppliers for custom-
ers, determining the ancount of motor vehicle transport required
for agricu3.tural product shipments and so on.
The operational planning of shipments of brick~ gravel, sand
_ and other cargoes~ with publication of the driqers' daily shift
~ssignment~~ is now widely used in ths branch. Computers are ~ -
used to formulate freight delivery routes and publish the re-
sults of oper~tions by motor vehicle makes, with an incif ca~ion
of empty runs~ shipment volume and freight turnaver~ milea~e
utilization, the amount of time rolling stock is in u~e, and -
other insiicators. This had made it possible to free dispatch-
ing persQnnel from the dailq planning of transport operations
and to occupy themselves d3rectly r~~ith shipment proc3uction work.
The daily freight delivery volume, as calculated witr~ the help
of computers, is mare than 100,000 tons. 1'he solution of this
, problem is causing a significant reduction in nonproductive
freight ~otor ~ehicle runs and shor~;,ening the idle time lost
_ during loading and unloading operations.
Every year there are larger and larger shipments af grain~
sugar beets and other agricultural products from the thr$shing =
floors of farms to the elevators that are made according to
- time schedules worked out on computers. Although these ~ck~ed-
ules were introduced at only 91 grain-receiving enterprise~ in
1978~ this year they have been implemented at 110. Th~ sched-
ules make it possible to utilize more ftitlly the capacities of
loadin,g and unloading machinery~ assign the rolling stock more
- uniformly, and increase the latter's productivity. Horrever~
the ePfectiveness of time sch~dules depends on how well the mo-
tor vehicle administrations, farms and procurement organizations

are prepared to do their work. Unfortunately~ these days not
all motor vehicle admin~.strations take this important question
seriously. The Kus~anayskoye Freight Motor Vehicle Administra-
tions Nos 1 and 2, for eaample both let ~hings slide. Aa a _
re~ult, the introduction of th~s progressiv method waa fru~-
trat~d. Control centers, centralized motor vehicle detachments
and dispa~ching points on the kolkhozes and sovkhozes were not
even organised. T~iere were no practical lessons given to the
workers at the motor vehicle transport enterprises and the pro-
curement and agricultural organizations.
The work was done no better in the Ural'skoy, K~yl-Ordinskoye
and Dzhambulskoye Freight and Alma-Atinskoye Oblast Motor Ve-
:~icle Administration~.
Motor vehicle transport control is a complicated process.
Therefore~ particular attention should be given to an automated
- system tor the integrated processing of the basic primary docu-
ments that keep track of motor vehicle transp~rt operations:
drivers' trip tickets and goods transportation iavoices. It is
when these documents are processed on a timely basis that we
obtain all of the needed information. In the computation cen- .
te.rs there is the technology for performing the necessary daily
opsrations. Right now documents from 95 enterprises are being
_ processed on computers. The leaders and services of motor ve-
- hicle enterprises are receiving~ on a daily basis, such tabu-
lated forms as the record of the fulfillment of the plan for
limited shipments by tqpes of delivery of freight for a11 min- -
istries and degar~ments on a daily basis and with a cumulative -
tatal by volume ot' shipments and freight turnovet �or the ea-
tire c~ientele, as well a~ a daily record of the results of mo-
tor vehicle operations by Work crew, column ar,.~ driver.
T~o years ago the new instructions "On the Order~of Calcula-
- tions Por Freight Shipments by Motor Vehicle Transport" were
approved~ as r?ell as aew type f'orms for goods transportation
_ invoice and driver trip tickets, the use oP which is obliaatory
for all enterprises~ organizations and institutions, regardless
of their departmerital subordination. The documentation can be
processed both by computers and vrith punchcard tabulating and
~ ke~board machines. Driver trip tickets and the transportation
section of goods transportation invoices are filled out by the
operating service of a motor vehicle tra~sportation enterpriseo
The forms nust be filled out in strict accordance with the in-
structions. Eaperience has shown that the dispatching person-
nel of motor eehicle enterprises know very little about the or- -
de~ in ~afch th.e documents are filled out. In the final ac-
covnt, this results in confusion, additional labor on the part
of the dispatchers~ and idle time on the computers. -

The software for processing these documents on computers al-
ready eaists~ but in the writing of the progra~s a number of
errors were made, as a result of which it is not pos~ible to
achieve a high-q~ality solution for many pr~blems. In the near
future the GVTs [Main Computer Center] needs to eliminate tk~e
flaws so that we rrill be able to formulate all the information
- needed to analyze statistical and accountirag reports, iacludfng
the autom~ted formulation of monthly reports, ext~a salary -
- charges, fuel and lubricant consumption and ~o on.
Along with the processing of driver trip tickets and goods -
transportation invoices, in all the interconnected information
- and computation centers it is necessary to arrange for comput-
er printouts of baxik payment documents and work records. This
will elimin~te the need Por writing them by hand. The daily
submittal of payment warrants to the State Ba~k Will make it
possible ~to reduce debt liabilities considerably and speed up
the turnover of our fixe~i working capital. Timely settlements
will be insured and the financial discipline of the motor vehi-
cle administrations xill be strengthened. Besides this, when
the daily duty plans for the motor vehicle operations are being
formulated, it will be possible to allow for the ability to pay
of the client being served and to solve problems about the
feasibility of allocating motor vehicles.
It is necessary to introduce Mith the help of c~mputers~ the
writing of planned assignmen~s for drivers~ work cre~~ and mo- -
tor vehicle columns ~ rrhich will ins~~re ~the efPective organi~a-
tion of socialist coa~petition.
In order to monitor the economical consumption of fuel and lu- .
_ bricants, in the near future it is necesgary to use computers -
to solve the problem of analyzing motor vehicle fuel consump-
t~ion everywhere that it is passible, so that recommeadations
for the redistribution of funds can be m~.de. Along with this~
at all possible points we should introduce automation of the
calculations during the planaing of rolling stock maintenance.
- For the purpose of imptementing operational dispatching of paa- "
senger transport in Alma-Ata~ the SKB [Special Design Office]
_ for Industriel Automation in Omsk developed an automated di.s-
patching system for urban passenger transport (ASDU-GPT). It
inaludes an autom8ted dispatching ~ystem for urban bus trans-
' portation (ASDU-A) and an automated dispatching system for taxi
transportation (ASDU-T).
Th~ first stag~ of the ASDU A rrent into experimental commerciel -
operation in April 1976. Although it now controls the move- -
ments of 900 buses on 65 routes, many problems have not yet
been solved. The introduction into operation of the ASDU-T tiras
- un~ustifiably delayed.

[Article by I. L. Pariatyy, head of the Moacow Railroad]
[Excerpts] In recent yeare, the rate of electrification hae been even
higher, and naa the extent of electrified lines on the Moecow Railroad
ie 3893.6 kilometera. Thie is approximately 42 percent of the total
length of the 1�ine, or 10 percent of the total length of the railr~ade
eerv~d by electric traction.
At the present time, 99.8 percent of all freight ehi~ments on the Capital
- Mainline is performed by advanced types of traction.
The specialization of repair centers which hae been perfurm~d here with
_ the aim of reducing the idle time for electric rolling stock under
repair has also play~d an exceptional role. N~w the Rybnoye depot, for
example, repa irs only the VL8 electric locomotives and Ozherel'ye the VL10. _
Mattere are the eaane at other depote ae well.
The following data are an indication of the concentration of repair on
the line. The electric locomotivee in use at 16 depots undergo hoiet-
type repair only at 3 depots, and the electric unite from 14 other
depota are repaired at 4. All of this has penuitted repair work to be _
eignificantly better organized. Its_quality hae been greatly improved
and coate have been reduced.
The theory of reliability as a measure for increasing the efficiency o�
locomotive operation, increasing its uaeful operating time and reducing
the idle time �or repairs has found broad application in the aystem of
electric locmotive repair and maintenance on the line. First at the
Orel, Bryanek II, Rybnoye and Uzlovaya, and then at all other depota,
the ways for improving repair quality and reducing the number of failures
and breakdown. on the line of travel were determined.

Recently, 3,320 kilometers of high-speed suepension with elastic line -
have been hung, aecond inaulators have been inatalled, and the crose- ,
eection of the catenary auepeneion hae been increaeed by installing
_ amplifying lines. Devices to protect the contact cables fran burnout
have been inst~lled on the overhead apane. The sectional ineulatore
have been replaced by fiberglaes onee. A armatare-leae method for joining _

reduce labor costa by concentrating the work time of the electricians due
to their performing more than one operation, and it inau,rea the further
grawth of labor productivity and increases production efficiency.
C anbining jobs and expanding service zones are the most effective meaeures
for increasing ]abor productivity. Combining jobs also increases the _
flexibility of production control and makee it possible to replace some -
workere with othere when necessary, which ia of.great significsnce for

the railroad, a method of working on the basis of warranty certificates ;
is uaed by the electric-energy-supply aectors. The warranty certificatee
are isaued for individual pieces of equipment and even f or canbined
Craction substationa, sectionalizing pointa and parallel connection pointa;
for individual anchor sectors and for open runs of the catenary network;
J f or air linea and for individual junctions. Introduction of warranty
certificatee increaees the reeponsibility of each member of the brigade
