  • Simulation of Planning Strategies for Track Allocation at Marshalling Yards
    Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XVI 465 Simulation of planning strategies for track allocation at marshalling yards M. Bohlin1, S. Gestrelius1 & F. Khoshniyat1,2 1SICS Swedish ICT, Kista, Sweden 2Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract Planning the operational procedures in a railway marshalling yard is a complex problem. When a train arrives at a marshalling yard, it is uncoupled at an arrival yard and then its cars are rolled to a classification yard. All cars should eventually be rolled to the classification track that has been assigned to the train they’re supposed to depart with. However, there is normally not enough capacity to compound all trains at once. In Sweden, cars arriving before a track has been assigned to their train can be stored on separate tracks called mixing tracks. All cars on mixing tracks will be pulled back to the arrival yard, and then rolled to the classification yard again to allow for reclassification. Today all procedures are planned by experienced dispatchers, but there are no documented strategies or guidelines for efficient manual planning. The aim of this paper is to examine operational planning strategies that could help dispatchers find a feasible marshalling schedule that minimizes unnecessary mixing. In order to achieve this goal, two different online planning strategies have been tested using deterministic and stochastic simulation. The Hallsberg marshalling yard was used as a case study, and was simulated for the time period between December 2010 and May 2011. The first tested strategy simply assigns tracks to trains on a first come-first served basis, while the second strategy uses time limits to determine when tracks should be assigned to departing trains.

SCENE A drawing-room in Second Empire style. A massive bronze ornament stands on the mantelpiece. GARCIN [enters, accompanied by the ROOM-VALET, and glances around him]: Hm! So here we are? VALET: Yes, Mr. Garcin. GARCIN: And this is what it looks like? VALET. Yes. GARCIN: Second Empire furniture, I observe. Well, well, I dare say one gets used to it in time. VALET. Some do. Some don't. GARCIN Are all the other rooms like this one? VALET. How could they be? We cater for all sorts: Chinamen and Indians, for instance. What use would they have for a Second Empire chair? GARCIN: And what use do you suppose I have for one? Do you know who I was?. Oh, well, it's no great matter. And, to tell the truth, I had quite a habit of living among furniture that I didn't relish, and in false positions. I'd even come to like it. A false position in a LOUIS-Philippe dining-room—you know the style?—well, that had its points, you know. Bogus in bogus, so to speak.
