Abstract: A method and system for identifying cargo-carrying vehicles (CCV) to be included in a vehicle system that are non-propulsion-generating vehicles scheduled to depart from a vehicle yard and travel to one or more destination locations at a predetermined departure time. Further includes, calculating a minimum tractive effort threshold required by one or more propulsion-generating vehicles (PGV) to propel the vehicle system to the one or more destination locations along a route within a predetermined time period. And selecting a set of one or more PGV from a larger group of PGV within the vehicle yard to be included in the vehicle system. The set of one or more PGV produce a tractive effort of at least the minimum tractive effort threshold, and having at least one of a lower fuel consumption or lower emissions than selecting one or more of the remaining PGV from the larger group of PGV, respectively.

Abstract translation: 一种用于识别要包括在车辆系统中的货运车辆（CCV）的方法和系统，所述车辆系统是非预定从车辆出发的非推进发电车辆，并且在预定出发时间前往一个或多个目的地位置。 还包括：计算一个或多个推进发电车辆（PGV）所需的最小牵引力阈值，以将车辆系统推进到在预定时间段内沿着路线的一个或多个目的地位置。 并且从车辆中的较大的PGV组中选择一组一个或多个PGV以包括在车辆系统中。 一组或多个PGV的组合产生至少最小牵引力阈值的牵引力，并且分别具有比从较大的PGV组中选择一个或多个剩余PGV的燃料消耗或低排放中的至少一个 。
