Abstract
At present the height of marshalling yards is calculated basing on the determination of the power of resistance to the movement of cars when rolling down a hill on definite conditions. Wherein the calculation norms of the main specific resistance to movement, used until present time, were accepted more than 40 years ago. Therefore, their use for the description of the modern car park driving characteristics may lead to the results of unsuitable current operating conditions, as well as to the increase of the emergency appearance when disbanding. The article suggests the adjustment of the algorithm of a marshalling yard height calculation based on the results of up-to-date researches of the main specific resistance to movement made by the specialists of the Siberian Transport University and JSC «NIIAS» and the correction of the methods of calculation of the height of the marshalling yard.
