Abstract

The article deals with the organization of work of the dispatcher’s office on directions with a high intensity of mixed cargo and passenger traffic. The North Caucasus Railway, which serves the ports of the Azov-Black Sea basin of Russia, and its main busy routes, was chosen as the research site. A methodological approach to determining the length of dispatching sections at the railway landfill within the framework of the Road Traffic Control Center has been developed. At the initial stage of studying the content of the work of train dispatchers, the algorithms developed by the authors are used solving operational management tasks. The analysis of non-optimal actions of the train dispatcher that cause losses in the transportation process is used further to develop a method for estimating losses in operators of problem algorithms based on the interval estimation method by solving a linear programming problem. As a result, based on the assessment of the capabilities of the operational personnel of the railway polygon of the road and the technological cost of delays in movement due to its suboptimal actions, a methodological approach is proposed to determine the length of dispatching sections that provide regulatory control, load level of the dispatcher device.
