MODELING OF TECHNOLOGICAL OPERATIONS OF RAILWAY STATIONS

Mihail Rangelov

The process of modeling technological operations performed at railway stations is applied in the organization of work, increasing efficiency and improving the management of railway transport. Modeling is considered as a tool for analyzing and predicting the behavior of complex logistics systems under different operating conditions. The main technological processes of stations are presented - receiving and sending trains, shunting work, downtime, distribution on tracks and servicing loading and unloading operations. Emphasis is placed on the use of mathematical models, simulation techniques and information systems, through which virtual copies of real processes are created. It is necessary to consider different approaches to optimizing train schedules, infrastructure capacity and the use of available resources. An important element is the study of the possibilities for applying digital technologies and artificial intelligence to automate technological processes at stations and increase the accuracy of decision-making. The advantages of applying modeling in planning the reconstruction of existing stations or the construction of new ones, as well as in developing adaptive real-time control systems, are noted. The article emphasizes the role of modeling as a tool for making informed decisions in the design, operation and modernization of railway stations in accordance with modern ments for transport sustainability and digitalization.
