Reduction of time spent by trains of the international communication at stations of rail cars transfer
Standards of the time for cargo delivery, on which basis the methodology of the control and management of cargo delivery time should be founded, are given. The time needed for transit trains that pass through the territory of the Republic of Belarus along the Second and Ninth International Transport Corridor is determined. The analysis of time components is given. This analysis shows that acceleration of the international trains traffic through the territory of the Republic of Belarus can be carried out through the following actions: capital investments in modernization and updating of technical equipment and rolling stock; improvement of technologies of trains processing at the stations of rail cars transfer. While the first action is labour-intensive and long-term and demands big capital investments, the second action is much more preferable at the first stage. By the example of the Belarusian railway station Molodechno it was shown how to reduce the time spent by trains of the international communication at stations of rail cars transfer by impfoving the station operation technology (introducing partial parallelism of transportation documents processing by technological channels).
