Development of a factor analysis model for assessing the technical readiness of the railway rolling stock

Summary/Abstract: In this study was investigated the Technical Readiness Coefficient (TRC) of railway rolling stock and associated technical systems. The primary objective was to identify and analyze the key factors influencing TRC and to develop a structured methodology for the factor analysis of railway technical readiness. The research methodology includes the selection of principal determinants, construction of a descriptive analytical model, processing of empirical operational data, and application of regression and correlation analyses. Empirical and theoretical approaches were employed, using statistical data, maintenance schedules, normative tables, and computational tools. Findings can be used for monitoring the TRC, optimizing maintenance and modernization, improving operational efficiency, and supporting evidence-based management decisions. The methodology also provides a framework for evaluating the future railway systems and ensuring continuous monitoring of technical performance under operational conditions.
