Of Approach to Minimize the Number of Shunting Tracks at Turning Loops
Original language description
Each transport mode needs a specific infrastructure to be operated. The same applies to tram transport. An integral part of the tram infrastructure is formed by shunting tracks at turning loops. The turning loops can have a variety of configurations (shapes). The shape depends primarily on the tram traffic volume. The construction of the tram infrastructure (including the turning loops) and their subsequent operation is very expensive for each tram transport operator. In addition, to the need for building a higher number of shunting tracks, the number of switches included at the turning loop etc. is higher. In addition to the construction costs, the maintenance costs for the turning loop increase proportionally as well. The article deals with the possibility of reducing the number of the shunting tracks. One of the ways how to reduce the number of necessary shunting tracks at the turning loop is to coordinate the arrivals and departures of individual tram connections. Mathematical programming can be used to deal with the coordination problem. Presenting a simple example, the article shows a basic principle of the positive impact of coordination on the necessary number of the shunting tracks at the turning loops.
