Planning Station Operations Based on Actual Station Performance Obtained “from the Wheel”

The paper presents a new approach to station operation planning based on real data received “from the wheel”. The processes at freight stations are considered and an approach to station work planning based on modeling of processes using statistical data and forecasting of key station performance indicators is proposed. The use of such a model will allow predicting critical parameters and optimizing shunting operation control. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in predicting abnormal scenarios and its potential as a tool for preventive decision making at freight stations.
