Research Abstract:

The effects of different specific resistance of passengers trains motion on the Tartous– Lattakia railway and their values calculations were studied. Some of the experimental coefficients used in the formulas of the specific resistance calculation of the Russian locomotive LDE2800 (ТЭ114) and passenger carriages were also checked (investigated. As a conclusion, it was found that there is a chance to increase between 14-25% in the pulling (tractive) mass and 5-15% in speed using the photocells
