Description
Summary:An important condition when arranging high-speed railway transportation with insignificant traffic is saving of capital investments in construction of new lines or the reconstruction the existing ones. Development of methods for multi-criteria estimation of the possibility of using fully single-track blocks on a line with high-speed traffic, as well as single-track blocks with double-track inserts, is a relevant issue. The purpose of the study is to develop the criteria and the method for estimation of the feasibility of using single-track elements on a line with high-speed traffic. Methods of simulation modeling, mathematical statistics, regression analysis were used. A method that includes estimation of the technological conditions of using single-track elements on a line with high-speed traffic instead of double-track blocks was developed. The method can be used for multi-criteria optimization of the configuration of a combined single-track and a double-track line using single-track elements in high-cost areas.
