Formation of geoinformation provision elements of railway networks for logistic transportation management

Abstract

Abstract At present, there is a transition from automated design to information modeling in the road industry. The paper submitted by of using modern software to support the design and operation of railway networks based on materials of geodetic support is carried out in the research. When conducting research is using the scientific methods: measurement, analysis, information modeling. The paper presents an overview of results of the formation of geodetic support of railway routes on the example of real projects. On this basis, by means of geoinformation support was created in the form of conceptual information model of the railway network of Ukraine. The model can be used to solve logistical problems in the field of rail transportation. This module provides a number of opportunities to analyze existing road networks and to design new ones. Results are presented with the help of Topomatic Robur and ArcGIS software systems, in which plans and models of railway networks are developed. Also, the conceptual characterization of the use of geoinformation data in solving the logistic problems of transportation is given. An example is given analyze problem of damage or overlap of the railway track section on the route and to predict an alternative route between the cities of Kharkiv and Odessa.
