Method of Determining the Minimum Required Number of Sorting Tracks, Depending on the Length of the Group of Wagons
Abstract
This article, based on the study of local and foreign experience, identifies the need to seek
comprehensive solutions for the effective organization of the wagon-flows in JSC “Uzbekistan
Railways”. Based on the processing of statistical data, it was determined that the length of a group
of wagons in a one direction multi-group train is subject to the law “Erlang”. Based on the use of
Fibonacci numbers to search for the best scheme for the formation of multi-group trains, the method
of determining the minimum required number of sorting tracks depending on the length of the group
of wagons has been improved. As a result of the application of this method by JSC “Uzbekistan
Railways” at station “Chukursay”, the cycle time of the sorting hill was reduced by 12%, the time
spent on sorting of transit trains was reduced by 5% and the processing capacity of the sorting hill
was increased by 14%.
