I. Introduction
Shunting stations are a central component of the railway complex to process the railcar traffic volumes and make up freight trains in an optimal mode so that the presence time of a railcar at the station is as short as possible and reasonable in process terms. Shunting stations consist mostly of a receiving yard, where the trains intended for further splitting arrive, a gravity hump yard, a marshalling (hump)yard, and a departure yard, wherefrom the made-up trains depart further. A gravity hump yard is a man-made hummock to let down the railcars (cuts) uncoupled on a marshalling yard track under gravity [1]–[4].
