CALCULATION OF THE THROUGHPUT AND PROCESSING CAPACITIES OF THE “Q” STATION

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to determine the current throughput and processing capabilities of the “Q” station, taking into account changing operating conditions. Statistical analysis and analytical methods were used in the work. The workload of station “Q” was analyzed in the context of its fleets in a daily mode, and as a result, it was established that the train downtime is 187 hours and 41 minutes. The throughput and processing capacities of the station were determined by analytical methods, taking into account changing operating mode conditions. According to the calculation results, it was established that the "weak spot" in the operation of the “Q” station is a sorting hill. In order to improve the operation of the “Q” station, such proposals were made as the automatic centralization of the sorting hill, the system of automatic identification of rolling stock, and the optimization of the number of personnel processing rolling stock.
