    摘要: A system includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a scheduling system that determines schedules for plural vehicles to travel in a transportation network and with a control system that forms a trip plan for a first vehicle of the plural vehicles comprising operational settings for controlling movement of the first vehicle during a trip in the transportation network. The communication unit is configured to convey information between the scheduling system and the control system such that the scheduling system coordinates the schedules of the vehicles to maintain a throughput parameter of the transportation network and the control system forms the trip plan that reduces at least one of an amount of fuel consumed or an amount of emissions generated by the first vehicle during the trip according to the schedule associated with the first vehicle.

    摘要: A scheduling system and method for moving plural objects through a multipath system described as a freight railway scheduling system. The scheduling system utilizes a cost reactive resource scheduler to minimize resource exception while at the same time minimizing the global costs associated with the solution. The achievable movement plan can be used to assist in the control of, or to automatically control, the movement of trains through the system. Alternative routes through congested areas are automatically selected using congestion prediction metrics.

    摘要: A scheduling system and method for moving plural objects through a multipath system described as a freight railway scheduling system. The scheduling system utilizes a cost reactive resource scheduler to minimize resource exception while at the same time minimizing the global costs associated with the solution. The achievable movement plan can be used to assist in the control of, or to automatically control, the movement of trains through the system. Deadlock is avoided by controlling the entry of trains into congested areas, and may be automatically implemented by the use of traffic flow analysis algorithms.

    摘要: A method includes determining candidate schedules for plural vehicles traveling in a transportation network comprising and identifying a gridlock area in the transportation network by simulating travel of the vehicles according to the candidate schedules. The gridlock area includes a geographic subset of the transportation network during a time window having at least a predetermined number of failed candidate schedules that result in a decrease of a throughput parameter. The throughput parameter represents flow of travel of the vehicles in the transportation network. The method also includes determining an alternate schedule that differs from the candidate schedule for one or more of the plural vehicles (e.g., a first vehicle of the plural vehicles) that is traveling through the gridlock area. The alternate schedule dictates travel of the one or more of the plural vehicles (e.g., the first vehicle) without decreasing the throughput parameter of the transportation network.
