Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of the location and magnitude of opposite elevation on the occupancy level of the tracks of sorting park. The subject of the study is the effect of the magnitude and location of opposite elevation on the sorting tracks occupancy level. The object is the tracks of sorting park. For the study, a simulation model of the traffic of the cut in sorting park was used, taking into account the reverse movement, “SortPark”. On the basis of this model, it was concluded that when the target point is moved farther from the braking position, the distance traveled by the cut first increases, and then decreases. This is due to the fact that when stopping the cut on the opposite elevation, it can start to move backward. On the basis of this, it was concluded that the useful length of the sorting yard track for the first detaching limited by the point of change of gradient from grade to opposite elevation. In view of this conclusion, the formula for determining the sorting track occupancy level was improved.
