Course detail

The objective of the subject is to introduce students to the problems of design of railway stops, goods points and operation control points, especially railway stations and to practise acquires knowledge and skills.

A student acquires skills in design of railway stops, goods points and operation control points, especially railway stations.

Track alignment design parameters and its spatial positions, railway track design. Railway substructure, subdivision and construction of rail substructure and its construction layers, construction and shape of earth formation Railway superstructure and modern railway structure design, interaction between railway vehicle and track, switches, crossings and turnouts.

Basic transport regulations, train diagram, train schedule of railway stations. Time diagram of station operation, track occupation diagram, operating efficiency, making up of trains
Operating control points and open track, basic terms. Division of operating control points, division of railway stations according position in railway network
Tracks in railway stations, tracks numeration, symbols of tracks, track length, distances of track centre lines.
Track alignment design parameters in control operation points and other operation points
Railway superstructure, substructure and its drainage in railway stations
Equipment for passenger and baggage transport, platforms, pedestrian subways and foot bridges. Station buildings and reception area.
Equipment for loading and unloading of goods, goods depots, ramps, service roads. Goods stations, container terminals.
