Abstract
In this paper, a model of the mixed heterogeneous traffic is used for the determination of the optimal freight train inserting. The optimization problem is based on maximum energy effectiveness of the accelerate run of some the forcibly delayed passenger services. This adjustment is suitable to fast recovery the punctuality of the passenger trains. A heuristic algorithm for selecting the optimal time-slot for the freight train assumes to multiple shifts the line its travel from the no penalty position. We examine the case of using the proposed methodology to determine the insertion point for the freight train travel in real operating situation. The analysis shows that the insertion of the freight train into the middle part of the light trains' packet is the most effective solution on the energy criterion.
