TRAIN QUEUING AT RAILWAYS
Abstract
Insufficient consideration of irregularity of train traffic causes lack of tracks at the stage of designing and reconstruction of stations, underestimation of resources during development of technical specifications, and underestimation of indices during development of technological processes etc. In order to evaluate irregularity of train traffic the article proposes to use the queuing theory that permits adapting necessary documents used for design and establishing of technological standards. The research used simulation to study real process of train operations, to obtain features of train queuing, to analyze changes of indices that depend on traffic intensity growth. The achieved results can contribute to increase of veracity and validity of decision-making,
operation planning and freight and train operation management.
