Modelling of Freight Trains Classification Using Queueing System Subject to Breakdowns
Original language description
The paper presents a mathematical and a simulation model of the freight trains classification process. We model the process as a queueing system with a server which is represented by a hump at a marshalling yard. We distinguish two types of shunting overthe hump - primary shunting represents the classification of inbound freight trains over the hump (it is the primary function of marshalling yards) and secondary shunting is for example represented by the classification of trains of wagons entering theyard via industrial sidings. Inbound freight trains are considered to be customers in the system and all needs of secondary shunting are failures of the hump because performing secondary shunting occupies the hump and therefore inbound freight trains cannot be sorted. All random variables of the model are considered to be exponentially distributed with the exception of costumer service times which are Erlang distributed. The mathematical model was created using method of stages and can
