We would like to invite you to the Mid-Term Conference of the Shift2Rail JU Funded IP5 Project OptiYard to be held at UIC in Paris on 5 October 2018.
Join us! It will be a fantastic opportunity to look at future scenarios for railways in line with Shift2Rail goals and, of course, to boost networking.
Registration is mandatory and free of charge but only a limited number of participants can be welcomed on a first-come-first-served basis.
Project overview
The Shift2Rail-JU Funded IP5 Project OptiYard will provide decision support tools to Yard Managers that consider the surrounding network, in a view to ensure smooth marshalling that is essential for the global efficiency of the transport chain.
OptiYard uses a three-pronged approach to develop an optimised decision support system for yard dispatchers by:
- Providing enhanced, automated yard management by analysing existing process and operations and developing appropriate optimisation algorithms to improve operations for both single wagon load and block train traffic;
- Improving information and communications processes between the Yard Management System, the RUs and Network (IM) by analysing data feeds and modelling an enhanced communications environment;
- Enhancing real-time interaction with the surrounding network, giving the yard dispatcher better visibility of pending perturbations and major disruptions to the yard production schedule.
