Formation of a network model of railway station functioning

Abstract

The efficiency of freight transportation by rail largely depends on the rational organization of the stations. Recently, there has been a tendency to increase the length of downtime of local wagons at the station. This is to a greater extent connected with waiting for the wagons to perform technological operations, i.e. the presence of interoperational downtime. The optimal technology of the railway station should ensure the lowest operating costs, high labor productivity, acceleration of cargo processing by reducing car downtime.
