One of the main tasks of RFID technology is to store information about an object with the opportunity of its convenient reading (Zheng et al. 2020). Besides, it ensures the accuracy and reliability of information when used in the transportation process. Fig. 1 shows the operation scheme of such a device (Gulyi 2018). Fig. 1. Device operation scheme: 1 — onboard encoder; 2 — reading unit in the infrastructure; 3 — data hub; 4 — company’s data processing center; 5 — wheel passage sensor. 2. Methodology and research results If we analyze the use of RFID technology in railway transport, we can see that each rail car has its own inventory number, including certain information about it that can be read either manually or automatically. During information reading, some issues with tags may occur: tags may erase or fade, thus complicating the reading process. At loading, Irina Popova et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 57 (2021) 463–469 465 Irina Popova, Vladimir Evsyukov, Igor Danilov, Aleksandr Marusin et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 00 (2021) 000–000 3 unloading, or transshipment stations, information reading is complicated as well, which leads to a decrease in productivity and the speed of rail car handling. As a result, one of the important criteria of freight transportation — the time of freight delivery — deteriorates. In addition to the opportunity of quick access to information about rail cars, the RFID system will make it possible to control the movement of rolling stock along the entire route (Larionova et al. 2015). With the help of this system, it is also possible to detect the location of rail cars and determine the direction of rolling stock movement (Zhuravleva 2019). Besides, the problem of warehouse inventory control is effectively solved since the system ensures effective inventory records, monitoring of items’ movement around the warehouse, and reduction of personnel errors when picking orders (Zhuravleva et al. 2019). 2.1. Methodology and specifics of RFID application in railway transport As for RFID equipment and tags recommended by ISBC-RFID, they have different parameters depending on the task. RFID tags can be made in the following forms: • in different climatic versions; • with different IP levels in terms of dust and water protection; • in a vibration-proof design. All types of tags have a common parameter, which is an excellent reading range, especially when mounted on metal surfaces. Besides, many tags undergo vibration and shock testing. Fig. 2 shows the appearance of some RFID tags offered by ISBC-RFID. Fig. 2. Appearance of tags used in railway transport to identify various objects. An RFID system generally consists of the following: • an RFID tag attached to an identification object (rail car or component parts); • an RFID reader; • an RFID antenna (Gulyi et al. 2019). The reader operates either independently (it keeps a log of RFID tags indicating the detection time, and can control a relay or a digital port) or under the control of a computer being a part of the company’s IT infrastructure (Gokhberg et al. 2019). 466 4 Irina Popova et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 57 (2021) 463–469 Irina Popova, Vladimir Evsyukov, Igor Danilov, Aleksandr Marusin et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 00 (2021) 000–000 When it is necessary to identify the object with an RFID tag, the antenna of the RFID reader is activated (or the reader is always in the polling mode). In response, the tag transmits a unique Electronic Product Code (EPC) or TID (Tag ID) or additional data recorded in the tag’s memory (Ilina and Kirina 2020). Then the information is transmitted to the computer, after which the system processes data following the algorithms implemented in it (Fig. 3) (Babkin 2018). Fig. 3. Device operation scheme: 1 — RFID tag printer; 2 — RFID tag; 3 — data from the RFID tag; 4 — data; 5 — data from the RFID tags; 6 — data; 7 — RFID tag readers. This technology has the following advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of RFID application in railway transport include the following: • • • • • • no batteries are needed for the operation of RFID tags (passive RFID tags); scanning antennas can be permanently attached to the surface of the rail car; there is no need for physical contact between the tag and the reader; simultaneous identification of multiple tags; tags have writable memory for mixed use; functionality in extreme conditions (including in all weather conditions). The disadvantages of RFID technology include the following: • high cost of implementation (tags, antennas, readers); • operation is possible only if the system is fully installed (for the reader and antenna) (DocPlayer 2021). In turn, RFID technologies make it possible to reduce the number of accidents involving railway transport with the help of additional information in a unique RFID tag, connecting critical measured values (detected malfunction) and a particular vehicle, wheelset, axle, brake, and suspension. With RFID, it is also possible to detect in advance those details that need improvement. Besides, RFID is characterized by the following benefits: • reduction of maintenance costs; • reduction of emergency maintenance costs; • better planning due to real-time information about the condition of the rail car using RFID as well as wayside train monitoring systems (WTMS); • increased accessibility of rail transport and increased reliability during operation (SICK 2021).

Methodology and specifics of RFID application in railway transport According to RZD Partner, only in 2019, OAO RZD (Russian Railways) suffered damage totaling 1.18 billion RUB, including 59 crashes and 17 accidents, which caused great losses in terms of its credibility (Rubezh 2019). We propose to calculate the economic efficiency from the introduction of RFID tags and RFID readers, where the latter will be mounted at a distance of more than 2.5 meters on special frames. Thus, the savings due to the automation of processing and collecting data on freight in a certain section can be calculated as follows: πΈπΈπΈπΈππππ = ππππππππ ∗ (12 ∗ ππππ ∗ πΎπΎπΎπΎπ π π π π π π π + πΆπΆπΆπΆππππππππ οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ ) ππππ (1) where Ne — the number of employees released due to labor productivity growth, people; S — the average monthly salary in the transport company; 12 — the number of months in a year; KSS — the coefficient of social security contributions (1.31) (vacation pay and 31% of social security contributions); CSS — the current expenses of the transport company for social infrastructure, thous. RUB; οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ ππππ — the average number of employees in the transport company during the reporting period, people. The number of employees released due to labor productivity growth is calculated as follows: πΌπΌπΌπΌ ππππππππ = οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ ππππ − οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½ ππππ πΌπΌπΌπΌππππ , ππππ (2) οΏ½ — the average number of employees in the transport company during the reporting period, people; IV — where W the index of growth in production volumes or the automation process; IP — the index of labor productivity growth (output per person). 3. Theoretical studies We conducted an experiment using a section of the Privolzhskaya railway as an example. The section included nine stations (service personnel: 38 people with an average salary of 29,500 RUB). If we calculate the costs of implementing RFID readers and tags in this section, the cost of one RFID tag will vary from 0.2 to 0.6 USD (15–45 RUB), the installation of RFID readers will amount to 2200 USD (163,829 RUB), and the installation of equipment for collecting, storing, and transmitting information will amount to 120,000 USD (8,936,100 RUB). This technology will ensure instant processing of data, which will lead to a threefold increase in labor productivity, and will also have a positive impact on the speed of data processing upon arrival and unloading of freight cars (Fig. 4). 468 6 Irina Popova et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 57 (2021) 463–469 Irina Popova, Vladimir Evsyukov, Igor Danilov, Aleksandr Marusin et al. / Transportation Research Procedia 00 (2021) 000–000 Fig. 4. Rate of freight cars’ handling at the station. We also determined that the payback period for the introduction of the technology is approximately 1–2 years, provided that an RFID tag is attached to each freight car (on average, 70 rail cars) and a frame with RFID readers is installed at the entrance to and exit from the station, which will automate data processing and storage. An increase in labor productivity due to the introduction of RFID technology is one of the important components of economic efficiency. This technology will also reduce damage from unscheduled delays and downtime in the section by stopping trains at stations and junctions. RFID readers or an RFID frame reader make it possible to transmit the recorded data at a train speed of 40 km/h to a receiving point and then to a big data center. Thus, this technology reduces downtime and damage from scheduled and unscheduled delays. To determine the damage caused by unscheduled train delays and downtime, the following equation was used: π·π·π·π·π‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. = Π΅β.π‘π‘π‘π‘.(ππππ) ∗ ∑ πππππππππ‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. + ππππβ.π‘π‘π‘π‘.(ππππ) ∗ ∑ πππππππππ‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. (3) π·π·π·π·π‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. = Π΅ππππππππ.ππππ−ππππππππ ∗ ππππππππππππππππ.ππππ. (4) where πππππππππ‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. , πππππππππ‘π‘π‘π‘.ππππ. — total downtime due to disturbance in the movement of passenger and freight cars, respectively, hours; Π΅β.π‘π‘π‘π‘.(ππππ) and ππππβ.π‘π‘π‘π‘.(ππππ) — enlarged expenditure rate for trains/hour of the corresponding type of movement, RUB. Let us calculate the amount of additional expenses for 1 kilometer of the train run and the amount of the train run along sections with speed restrictions. where Π΅ππππππππ.ππππ−ππππππππ — additional expenses for 1 kilometer of the train run; ππππππππππππππππ.ππππ. — additional train run along sections with speed restrictions. 4. Conclusions When conducting such an experiment for a month, it can be established that damage from unscheduled delays, as well as downtime at nine stations of the Privolzhskaya railway, will amount to 207,904.67 RUB (or more than 2 million RUB in a year). The introduction of RFID technology in the transport process will reduce costs while increasing the prestige and safety of railway transport, which will positively affect the competitiveness of railway transportation. RFID introduction and application will also optimize the transaction costs for shunting operations and reduce the train dwell time by excluding the time spent by station technology center operators to check the correctness of making up rail cars into trains. RFID technologies have long been a well-known tool in the logistics of transport and warehouse inventory, which speeds up work while solving various issues in various fields of activity. In the implementation of operating processes, these technologies ensure quick operations with minimal time spent.
