  • Train building planning method
    Patent number: 6832204
    Abstract: A train building planning method is utilized to determine a state of a train yard and a status of resources within the yard. When a resource becomes available, a determination is made regarding possible options for the available resource. The affect of each option on the schedule of outbound trains is then evaluated. Specifically, a sum of the cost of late departures of outbound trains is determined and the option that provides a low, or no, cost of late departure is chosen.
