Data pictorial model usage while creating work station of assistant railway station-master

Abstract

At present at freight terminals there is a necessity for the solution of such problems of operating control as: calculation of the standards of coupling of trains; optimization of supply of trains for loading/unloading; and optimization of shunting operation. The precise localization of trains on lines of a railway station is necessary to solve these problems. For the solution of these problems the data pictorial model for simulation of way station and current situation on the station is used. The necessity of application of pictorial model results from the technological process for the solution of the problems. The workstation of the railway station-master assistant having standard equipment is equipped additionally with a personal computer (PC) with an intelligence system storing the scheme of station lines, introduced in linearly-topological data model. The station equipment includes a system of video observation consisting of a set of controlled TV cameras, placed on searchlight towers which permits viewing, on a video terminal or screen of the PC, of the picture obtained from them. The given system of TV cameras is constructed in such a manner that on a monitor screen it is possible to obtain the picture practically of any part of station lines in one of several possible projections.
