Determining the available throughput capacity of the railways using simulation for intelligent management of the transportation process

The article is devoted to the problem of determining the available throughput capacity of the railways and assessment of possible infrastructure capacity losses using the simulation method. As a result, the simulation model of the intermediate station has been proposed, which determines the order of trains passing. This model can be used for determination the available throughput capacity in the Throughput Development and Processing Abilities Department and the Train Schedule Department of the Central Directorate of Traffic Management, a branch of JSC «Russian Railways»
