A solution for determining optimal interchange connections, frequencies, car blocking and routing plans for freight trains and cars. The objective of an operations plan is to maximize service while minimizing fuel usage, crew cost, train cost, car hire cost, and switching cost, subject to limits on train size, and maximum origin-to-destination trip times. An operating plan makes it possible to efficiently obtain close-to-optimal solutions to problems of realistic size.
RWM is expert at deriving realistic operating plans for short lines in terms of frequency of service, train size and the required operating methodologies.
