Features of Managing Local Work on Railway Sections Serving Direct Outbound Routes

Abstract

Purpose: Using simulation modeling to investigate the nature of the interrelationships of technologies for processing routes and train throughput at loading (unloading) stations and adjacent stages, as well as for justifying the appropriate parameters and coefficients to reflect these interrelations in the methodology of a comprehensive assessment of the capabilities of railway sections as a whole. Methods: Forecasting the volume of train, freight and shunting work of railway sections where it is planned to serve full-composite routes. Results: To develop an imitation model of the functioning of the railway section of the loading (unloading) area as a whole. Practical significance: The simulation model can be successfully used in the course of operational planning of train work by section dispatchers.
