Abstract

The method involves obtaining input data that includes: (i) railway mapping data, (ii) clearance data for the railways, (iii) schematic (preferably image) data related to the load being transported, and (iv) the transport's origin and destination. Using this data, one or more artificial intelligence (AI) models determine dimensional parameters of the load by processing the schematic image. A transport envelope for the load is defined based on these parameters. The railways connecting the origin and destination are identified, the probability of the transport envelope clearing clearance data on those railways is determined. Based on these probabilities, at least one viable route is determined across the railways connecting the origin to the destination.
