CONTROL OVER SCHEDULED FREIGHT TRAIN TRAFFIC IN RAILWAY COMMUNICATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B61B1/00 B61L27/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: train traffic is effected on the basis of integral shift. First, for every railway yard, simulated is freight trains gathering in routs and destinations for a day, for every train an appropriate unoccupied "line" of the traffic actual schedule is selected to simulate versions for locomotives and locomotive crews to be selected for trains. For every train model, train passing is simulated in sections of a traffic route with due allowance for current position in given route. Thereafter, with allowance for current position in the route, appropriate versions are selected for every train model for selection of locomotives and crews to be assigned to selected "line" of actual traffic schedule. Simulation results are used to gather the train at railway yard and appropriate locomotive is assigned thereto as well as locomotive crew to send the train in compliance with traffic schedule preset by actual schedule "line". In real time, train gathering, assignment of locomotives and their crews, departure of train from the station and passing in route sections in compliance with approved schedule.
