Railway transportation is one of several modes of transportation suitable for long-distance transportation of large quantities of bulk goods. Next, let's follow the Thailand Express Logistics editor to learn about the transportation scheduling of railway transportation.

The organization and command of daily railway transportation production shall be uniformly implemented by the railway transportation department, and a dispatch organization shall be established.

Although railway transportation dispatch work in various countries has its own characteristics, its main contents include train operation and vehicle allocation work. Train operation work refers to commanding the operation of trains, while allocation work refers to the loading and unloading of freight cars, planning and organizing train operations, as well as adjusting traffic flow.

Train command is the transportation scheduling work that ensures the timely operation of trains according to the train timetable. The train operation command is executed by a single command system of the train dispatcher, which means that all commands and instructions related to train operation can only be issued by the on duty dispatcher; Traffic personnel must follow the orders of the train dispatcher and obey their instructions.

The section commanded by each train dispatcher is called a dispatch section, and its length is determined based on the traffic volume, freight volume, and equipment of the section. The dispatch section usually includes the locomotive traction section. However, in the direction of low traffic volume or with traffic command automation equipment, the scheduling part can include multiple traction parts; On the contrary, the traction section can also be divided into multiple scheduling sections.

The train dispatcher continuously collects train operation information from the dispatch department under command using dispatch telephones, wireless dispatch telephones, etc., and takes corresponding operational adjustment measures based on the actual situation of train operation to ensure the realization of the train timetable. The adjustment measures that train dispatchers can take include accelerating the speed of train operation, changing the meeting point and method of trains, organizing reverse driving, organizing train joint operation, running and continuing operation, etc. The sequence of adjustment measures is sent to the station through the train operation adjustment plan, and supervised and implemented by filling out the actual performance chart.
