Methodological basis for the implementation of train formation plans for carriers in the train schedule at the infrastructure site

Abstract

The current market of railway transport participants is distinguished by an expanded composition of possible participants in comparison with the traditional approach “shipper - carrier - recipient”, taking into account the tendencies of limiting natural monopolies and ensuring equitable access to the services of the railway transport infrastructure provided by the agreement on the Eurasian Economic Union. Organization of train work in such conditions is complicated by an expanded list of requirements for the train operation along the routes and the need to coordinate the actions of a significant number of participants in the transportation. The article offers the method of the decision of a task on development of the train schedule on the closed range of an infrastructure of railway transportation of the general using, providing effective development of the train flows declared for transportation by set of carriers. In the methodology, a transition was made from the objective principle of developing the unstructured operational load to the railway sections and stations to process identification of the traffic flows of the carriers, which determines the route assignments of trains and the parameters of using the infrastructure objects with reference to the destination of the formation plan. The application of this methodology provides conditions for equitable competition in the use of the railway transport infrastructure and creates the conditions for the synergetic economic effect of the interaction of participants in the transportation process.
