AUTOMATION OF THE TRAIN TIMETABLE

AVTOMATIZATSIIA RAZRABOTKI GRAFIKA DVIZHENIIA POEZDOV

This publication presents the methods and computer programs for developing timetables. Included are results of the calculation of optimum schedules for freight trains on double-track sections as well as suggestions for the solution on single-track segments, the rationalization of a local operating group during formation of the timetable, optimization of the work and rest periods of the locomotive crews, and utilization of computer programs for developing a schedule for operating and managing double-track lines. The book is intended for technical engineers, computer centers and technicans who develop automated control systems. Chapters: (1) General characteristics of the problem of schedule automation; (2) Computer modeling process for the schedule of a double-tracked line; (3) Algorithm for producing the timetable, including a "window"; (4) Some problems in using algorithms for calculating freight train timetables on single-track lines; (5) Automated calculation for staffing when developing schedules; (6) Optimization of the work and rest intervals of locomotive crews involved with scheduling in the timetables; (7) Timetables in an automated control system.
