PRINCIPLES OF ROUTING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PASSENGER TRAINS BY CATEGORIES
Abstract
The authors, using the example of the USA, assess the existing approaches towards organization of railway passenger traffic. The main revealed trends are balance of interests of carriers and passengers and the priority of customer focused strategy. Such management credo determines the choice of train routes and their categories, which both should suit customers’ demand.
