Principles, algorithms, and development prospects of the methodology for determining optimal time allocation schemes for infrastructure maintenance and repairs on main railway routes while ensuring specified transport volumes
Abstract
This article discusses the principles and algorithms underlying the methodology for determining optimal time allocation schemes for infrastructure maintenance and repairs while ensuring specified transport volumes. The relevance of this topic is driven by the need to enhance the efficiency of transport system operations and minimize maintenance costs. The study analyzes existing approaches to planning repair work and proposes new algorithmic solutions that consider various factors influencing the repair and maintenance process. The authors present approaches for developing different scenarios of time allocation schemes for infrastructure maintenance and repair, along with criteria for selecting the most optimal among them. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is evaluated based on real operational data, confirming their practical significance. In conclusion, the article discusses prospects for further research in this area, including the potential for automating this methodology to improve the accuracy of repair and maintenance planning. The results of this study may be beneficial for specialists in railway infrastructure maintenance and repair, as well as for managing transportation processes.
