Investigation into survivability of the system of car flows and train formation on the base of the percolation theory

Abstract

The system of freight car flows and train formation on railways in Ukraine is based on accurate cargo delivery. One of the system features characterizing railway transport capability to function in predetermined conditions is the system survivability. The prevailing approaches to analyzing the transportation system survivability are imperfect as they do not allow examining the actual system’s behaviour. Under such conditions investigation into the transportation system survivability requires new solutions based on up-to-date methods of analysis and computer simulation.
