Subject syllabus

Lecture:
- Basic concepts, legislation, principles of designing railway. stations (operational documents, surveys, PD, general principles of design)
- Track (division, numbering used. Length, layout, transitions between
different axial distances of tracks)
- Personal-station lay-station, the sorting station (purpose, classification, arrangement track, equipment ...)
- The Hills-sorting station (location, shape, design, rail gridiron various groups-the main principles, technical and construction equipment humps,
Automation COMPASS)
- Track-industrial plants (purpose, location, types, classification, arrangement
rails, equipment, ..)
- Railway-building equipment (platforms, subways, footbridge, footbridges,
the platform shelters, station building, warehouses, landfills ...)
- Construction Equipment locomotive and rolling farm
- Railway-station in the special conditions - effects of mining activities (mine area, subsidence trough and its impact on the rail) and building at the railway station floodplains

Exercise:
Introduction to project documentation, operational documentation for designing railway station, calculate the direction and altitude railway station elements, the calculation of detailed points. The structural design gridiron, superstructure and layout at railway stations (Platforms, ramps, dumps, the loading, Targeted communication buffer, fence, railing). Suggestions elements of passenger, freight station (calculation Hills ...).
