Railway Traffic Organization Model Considering Allocation of Platform Edges for Passenger Trains
Journal Title: Archives of Transport System Telematics - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Movement of trains on the railway network, due to the need to conduct them in a smooth, safe and stable manner, must be properly structured. This arrangement is defined as the organization of railway traffic. One of the significant problems associated with the organization of traffic is the construction of the timetable. Timetable should be constructed in such a way as to avoid blockages mainly before operating control points. It can not be allowed to occur that the train will wait for the preceding train to release the platform edge. During building the mathematical models supporting the construction of the timetable should therefore take into account this problem. The article presents selected elements of the mathematical model of timetable construction of the passenger trains, taking into account the problem of the perimeter edges allocation. The formal record of the model, the input data necessary for its operation and the sought values were presented. Boundary conditions and indicators for the quality of the solution have been discussed. An example of model works on real data.
