The increase of licensed freight railway carriers and the various logistic chains they service, necessitates resize of processes and regulation of the activities in railway stations when organizing and managing the shunting and train works in them. To regulate the processes and avoid conflict of interests between the carriers, National Railway Infrastructure Company (NRIC) is developing instructions for work in the station, while servicing the IRBs, consistent with the stated times, for execution of different operations with the carriages, by the different carriers and the work load of the equipment needed for this activity. This s a description of the work algorithm and the use of a method taking into account objective criteria when determining the priority for servicing train/shunting compositions on the same installations, as well as the time of unavailability of station’s tracks. These times directly reflect on the station’s installations capacity and the use of routes from the Schedule of trains’ movement (STM), reserved by the different carriers.
