Abstract

The paper presents the formulation and solution of a joint computer-aided dispatching model for the coordination of train makeup, classification, assembly and track arrangement in railyards. This formulation results in mixed 0-1 programming and an optimal decomposing heuristic solution method is proposed. The calculated results of the practical instances demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the algorithm. An optimal decision base for a yard dispatcher decision support system with a computer is supplied
