Type: article
Abstract: Currently, a mixed system of high-speed passenger and freight trains has been implemented on the railways of Uzbekistan. During the movement of high-speed passenger trains on double-track main line sections, the movement of freight trains at all stations and segments is temporarily suspended for a specific period. From this perspective, in the present time, the suspension of freight train traffic is leading to numerous technical and economic expenses. In this article, based on experimental runs using the technology of passing freight trains without stopping, train movement schedules have been drawn up, and train operations have been organized without unnecessary stops. This research paper provides a restructured overview of the introduction and practical implementation of non-stop train operation technology for double-track railway lines where both high-speed passenger and freight trains operate simultaneously. Using real operational schedules, comparative experimental charts were developed to evaluate the new approach. The outcomes of this analysis demonstrate how the proposed technology influences efficiency and key performance indicators of train movements. A regression-based analytical model was also constructed to determine the relation between freight train waiting time and average section speed, ensuring reliability through statistical verification. Furthermore, the application of innovative solutions and technologies mentioned in this article to sections of high-speed highways creates an opportunity to increase transport transit potential and improve economic indicators.
