Estimate of the possibility of the track capacity increase of the section Lavochne–Beskyt–Volovets at the expense of intensive application of regenerative braking system saurt-bars

Abstract

In the paper the outcomes of operations performed on the proving track section of Lviv Railways aimed at estimating the possibility of exclusion of pneumatic braking on the section Lavchne–Beskyt–Volovets as well as the possibility of exclusion of an engineering stop at the platform Skotarske from the train schedule are observed.
