A system and method of planning the movement of plural trains over a network of track by simulating the movement of the trains over the network of track.

System and method for a simulation based movement planner

A method of planning the movement of plural trains over a train network utilizing route protection for the route immediately ahead of a train to avoid undesirable changes to the planned route of the train.

Method of planning the movement of trains using route protection

A method of scheduling the movement of trains using the creation and the pre-allocation of virtual resources in order to develop an optimized schedule of actual train movement.

Method of planning the movement of trains using pre-allocation of resources

A system and method of scheduling the movement of trains as a function of the predicted crew behavior and predicted rail conditions based on the historical behavior of the crew for specific rail conditions.

System and method of multi-generation positive train control system

A method of planning the movement of plural trains through a rail network using a database of dynamic planning attributes reflecting the current conditions of the train and rail network.

Method and apparatus for planning the movement of trains using dynamic analysis

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.

Method and apparatus for congestion management

A method of scheduling network resources in a first domain by transforming the problem to a second domain, solving the problem and transforming back to the first domain.
