Popis: This paper examines a problem of forming the pick-up trains by conventional methods (the Futhner method and Special method), aiming at establishing basic characteristics of track facilities and values of shunting operations indicators important for evaluation of the effects of these methods application. The problem under consideration has so far not been examined in the literature to a sufficient extent, although in practice it has been proved to be necessary. For this reason, in this work a simulation study has been undertaken the results of which have to give the values and measures for assessing the quality of station/yard operations, as well as the assessment of new-designed station solutions.
