Developing operational scenarios for a low-intensity railway lines based on a set of parameters

Abstract

Modern railway line specialization has a complex structure that takes into account various indicators. This article proposes a system for managing railway line parameters using groups of initial, technological, infrastructure, and economic indicators, which are used to model scenarios for the operation of low-volume railway lines. The railway line parameter management system is based on fuzzy logic, using a set of rules for the mutual influence of various indicators.

The proposed system of railway line parameters allows for the determination of fuzzy weights for indicators and groups of indicators to form a complex integral index, that provide a more comprehensive characterization of the operation of railway lines with various specializations.

Scenarios for the operation for low-volume railway lines are presented for the subsequent development of control actions to improve the efficiency of the railway transport network.

The results of the study can be applied in developing scenarios for the development of the railway transport network, as well as in the formation of comprehensive programs for the development of the transport system, taking into account the specific features of the indicator groups under consideration.
