Abstract
AbstractThe carrying capacity of runs is one of the main indicators characterizing the ability of rail transport infrastructure to handle trains of different categories. The purpose of the study is to adapt the methodology for calculating the available capacity when using the technology of “virtual coupling” of freight trains, allowing maximum use of the existing infrastructure for double-track lines. The work suggests calculating the weighted average value of the inter-train interval, which takes into account the number of trains in the package in the case of combining them by a virtual coupling. On its basis, the available throughput and carrying capacity of a section or line is established. The methodology for calculating these indicators is adapted, and examples of calculations are given. The paper presents graphs that can determine the maximum cash throughput and carrying capacity of a section or line with a different number of trains in the package, combined by the technology of “virtual coupling”.KeywordsCarrying capacityVirtual train couplingInter-train interval
