Influence of technical and technological equipment of a locomotive maintenance point on the capacity of a railway line

Stable operation of railway transport is decisive importance in the development country's economy. Railway stations Russian Railways network perform a significant amount work on processing and handling train traffic. Large technical most cases are located at junction railways (railway polygons), where locomotive crews locomotives changes take place as well various types traction (electrified lines with direct alternating current). With polygon technologies network, it becomes necessary to optimize resource management process ensure stable traffic from its origin point destination. At turnover points, they changed, maintenance (TO-2) equipment. The article discusses more detail one elements daily budget for use — finding downtime point. As an example queuing resources, Karymskaya station given, stalls performing TO-2 devices economy, according which available capacity circulation section determined. Based analysis results 2017, method has been developed that allows, using calculations minimum interval supply trains station, determine rational number m ст , promising volumes freight transportation increasing lines.
