METHOD OF DISPATCHING RAILWAY TRAFFIC BLOCKS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B61L27/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: set of inventions relates to planning railway freight trains. Proposed method comprises determining presence of traffic block along track and indentifying first train in said block. Then, back run area around traffic block is determined and selecting safe position outside said back run area for second train preplanned to enter run area by back run. Then, second train motion is planned in safer position. Alternative resources are identified to ease traffic block and first train motion is planned using said identified alternative resources. In compliance with another version, traffic block is determined, train approaching said traffic block is identified to determine back run area around said traffic block. Back run area is defined as function of one of below parameters: trains density in traffic block, trains density in remote area, type of traffic block, its size and tracks topography. Now, safe position outside traffic area and selected train motion is replanned to retain said train in safe position. Safe position is taken to be area wherein trains may move on rails.

EFFECT: preventing traffic blocks.
