Abstract

Safety in train operations is a very important aspect of the operation of railways. Along with the increasing demand for goods and services, train trips are increasing. This condition causes increased activity at the station, which has a function: to get up and down passengers or load and unload goods. Arjowinangun Station, originally planned only to be used to get on and off passengers, has now increased its function for loading and unloading goods and as a departure and stop station for the transportation of cement goods. This causes the level of conflict in rail operations to be very high. Calculating the level of conflict routes that occur both for operating trains and existing sling trains is obtained by 17% and for switcher trains by 6.5%. By engineering the operation pattern 1, the conflict route rate for the operating train is 24.4%, and for the shunt, the train is 1.9%. Furthermore, if it is carried out by engineering operation pattern II and adding to the locomotive storage line in lane four, then the conflict route rate is 15%, and the shunt train is 1.5%. By engineering operation pattern 2, the minimum level of conflict routes is obtained for operating trains of 15% and switcher monkeys of 1.5%. If it is assumed that 136 trains pass a day, 23 trains are affected by conflicted routes at Arjawinangun Station.
