Automated platforming & routing of trains in all Belgian railway stations

作者：

Highlights：

• We present a train platforming & routing expert system solving stations in seconds.

• It maximises the number of trains platformable and routable without conflicts.

• It also reports all conflicts existing in manual platforming plans.

• It is integrated in the Infrabel tool flow and works for all Belgian stations.

• Platforming planning is sped up & less error prone compared to current practice.
