SCHEMATIC SCHEDULE OF SUBURBAN TRAINS ON WEEKENDS
[For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version)].ABSTRACT A special feature of suburban transportation is uneven distribution of passenger traffic over the seasons of the year, the days of the week and the hours of the day. In view of such differentiation by the hour of the day, the schedule of suburban trains on pre-weekend and weekend days differs significantly from the schedule on working days. The article proposes a technique for maximizing the number of suburban trains in the traffic schedule for the weekend with a fixed number of trains, which allows for a smooth transition from the basic traffic schedule to the schedule during the peak period without increasing the number of trains in circulation. Keywords: railway transport, suburban trains, transportation process, organization of passenger transportation.
