Abstract
A method for providing configuration information for a system having a plurality of vehicles includes assigning, for each vehicle, a first number of degrees of freedom (DOF); presetting one or more system parameters representing a performance of at least part of the system (SP); successively optimizing each respective vehicle at each station by selecting a DOF for each vehicle from a second number of DOF for the respective vehicle and computing a global SP; assigning each vehicle of each station a DOF resulting from a first system configuration (SC); evaluating the global SP for the first SC; identifying one or more stations having a negative impact (NIS) on the global SP on the first SC; and successively optimizing, for the one or more NIS, each vehicle locally at each respective NIS with regard to the SP with a number of DOF greater than said second number of DOF.
