CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOLUTION FOR PLACING WAGONS AND GROUPS OF WAGONS IN THE SORTING SIDINGS OF MARSHALLING YARD INSTALLATIONS

EIN BEITRAG ZUM PROBLEM DER WEITERFOERDERUNG VON EINZELWAGEN UND WAGENGRUPPEN IN RICHTUNGGLEISEN AUTOMATISIERTER RANGIERBAHNHOEE

The system studied is as follows: the sorting siding after the rail brake is divided into 2 sections: a wagon spacing section on which 2 handling trucks alternately ensure the positioning of the wagons; a pre-support section on which the wagons come to a halt in random fashion. When a certain number has been reached, a second handling truck moves them intermittently to their final contact position. The study calculates the length of these sections, and the movement speeds to be observed to bring the wagons into contact without excessive impacts.
