Methodology of forming the transport network of a railway station

Abstract

Traditionally, railway tracks of both general and non-general use are represented by a connected oriented vector graph, which includes a set of vertices and a set of arcs connected to each other and forming a transport network. The use of existing methods for creating networks of traffic routing graphs when building a transport network of railway stations leads to restrictions when planning routes for shunting trains. A new approach to the formation of the railway station transport network is proposed to optimize the routes of rolling stock movement when performing train handling operations. This article considers the example of using the method of finding the shortest distances on the proposed transport network of a railway station to determine the routes of rolling stock movement.
