An agent-based support system for railway station dispatching

作者：

Highlights：

• A D-Agent support system is modular designed for railway station dispatching.

• The D-Agent can behave as a dispatcher by embedding expert dispatching knowledge.

• MIPL formulations are integrated to optimize the railway traffic control.

• The D-Agent can keep improving by extending skills and learning.

• Its ability of communication prepares it to work in a dynamic environment.
