METHOD OF SIMULATION OF TRAIN FLOW ALONG RAILWAY SECTION

FIELD: railway transport. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to simulation of variants of train movement along two-track section and it can be used in corresponding hardware-software systems for working out decisions at control of traffic in definite period of time on section and bringing to minimum service expenses related to handling of traffic at preset conditions. Characteristics of each train are preset as composite distributed object in form of array of data including data on locomotives and cars. Data on section are completed by arrays of data of corresponding stations, said data arrays include number and length of tracks. Parallel and independent simulation of movement of each train are carried out by changing at each step of simulation the state of section data arrays owing to interaction with data arrays of trains. ^ EFFECT: possibility of evaluation of service characteristics of movement of trains according to train sheet, working out schedule providing minimization of service indices, expenses and working out of traffic control decisions. ^ 4 cl, 6 dwg
