DENSITY OF TYPE-DEFINING OPERATIONS

Abstract

The authors propose methods to define the types of railway stations, using grade assessment of the operations, performed within them. The authors allocate the typical signs for every group of stations, includingintermediate exchanges, railway section stations, passenger, cargo stations, and classification yards. The authors describe main characteristics of operations and give the examples of classification of the stations, based on the greatest sum of specific weights of the entries taken into consideration.
