ANALYSIS OF NON-UNIFORMITY OF DEPARTURE OF TRAINS FROM TECHNICAL STATIONS ON RAILWAY DIRECTION
In order to improve the quality of transportation and to speed up the freight delivery it is proposed to create an adaptive system of operational management of engine yard to reduce unproductive downtime of trains while expecting locomotives and locomotive crews at technical railway stations in Ukraine. One of the important components of the input data to solve the problem of rational distribution of locomotives and locomotive crews is the duration of movement of trains at stations.The study as to identification of the relationship between the number of cars shipped from the railway technical stations and the duration of movement at stations showed the close relationship between these parameters.The analysis of seasonal, weekly, and daily unevenness permits to predict the number of trains that will be sent in a particular day of a week and at any time of a day. This allows you to determine the number of locomotives and locomotive crews for operational support of trains ready for departure, that will make it possible to reduce unproductive downtime of freight trains ex-pecting locomotives and locomotive crews, which in turn will accelerate the speed of delivery and improve the competitiveness of the railways of Ukraine at the freight market
