Abstract

Despite the large number of publications, which authors use the mathematical apparatus of Petri nets for the transportation systems studies, there are still no such researches of technological processing lines for passenger trains on the territory of passenger complexes that aim to improve trains processing technology. In this article, we present simulation models of technological processing lines for passenger trains of different categories developed with the use of Petri nets. The structure of proposed simulation models is based on real time parallel-operating objects. Such an approach allows maximizing similarity of developed models and the simulated objects; in this way we achieve the increased adequacy of the obtained models. The article presents an interface of developed models and examples of their functioning under conditions of different input parameters, as well as the results of their use in order to reduce the passenger trains processing time. The proposed models are generic and could be applied for simulation of passenger trains processing at any station of Ukraine.

Highlights

The contemporary transportation market requires from the railway transport of Ukraine the high level of quality, regularity and reliability of transport services (Prymachenko, 2015)
In the conditions of market economy one of the main factors that contributes to the establishing and securing a leading position at the transportation market is the competitiveness of railway transport (Lomotko, 2008; Alyoshinskiy et al, 2012)
Under the existing state of the Ukrainian railways technical equipment that needs renewals at almost 80%, there arises the problem of optimization of the passenger complexes (PC) functioning process to achieve the effective organization of transportation process

Summary

Introduction

The contemporary transportation market requires from the railway transport of Ukraine the high level of quality, regularity and reliability of transport services (Prymachenko, 2015). In terms of the rolling stock lack, inappropriateness to the requirements of the most of the passengers transport infrastructure and increased competition, especially from the side of the road transport, the problem becomes a very complex one because it should be solved considering an improvement of the efficiency of passenger transportation process using limited financial resources. In this way, the task of improving the financial condition of passenger transportation by improving the organization of transport through the. In this paper we propose simulation models, which could be used in order to enhance the railways efficiency through increasing the efficiency of the passenger trains processing at the passenger station (PS) and passenger technical stations (PTS) as elements of PC
