Abstract

Freight transportation on main railways is an important component of the Russian economy. With the growing scale and intensity of transportation, attention to ensuring its efficiency is increasing. In 2023, technical changes that have a direct impact on the operation of the Far Eastern Railway and the Eastern training ground of Russian Railways have undergone significant changes. Work on the reconstruction of key stations has been completed, work is ongoing to reduce inter-train intervals through virtual coupling of freight trains, and the locomotive and carriage fleets are being modernized.

At the same time, the stability of the transportation process and improving the quality of operating activities of Russian railways is largely ensured through the development of digital technologies, in particular the introduction of a dynamic model of infrastructure loading. The digital transformation of road operational activities, together with centralized loading management through the use of this model, served as the basis for a qualitative change in the operation of the road network of Russian Railways.

Despite significant transformations in the operation of the Far Eastern Highway and the road network as a whole, solving strategic problems requires finding technological reserves, as well as improving the modeling of key transport processes.

The article proposes a way to increase the volume of stable transportation on a road network by coordinating freight operations at railway stations of the origin and extinction of the flow. The optimization problem of organizing loading is solved based on modeling the flow of freight trains and solving a linear programming problem. The proposed method makes it possible to satisfy the growing demand for transport services and increase profitability from transportation of bulk cargo.
