ADAPTIVE SCHEDULING IN MODERN TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEMS
The advent of computers along with availability of information and user friendly software is making it possible to determine, off-line, the ideal train schedule and train service patterns to provide the best customer service at the best cost. This paper investigates the concept of adaptive scheduling, an integral part of modern train control system that can predict problems before they happen and help the operator maintain the best service during and immediately after an incident, and help restore full and normal service after the incident has been cleared. The three distinct functional parts of Adaptive Scheduling software are: predictive planning; maintaining service; and service recovery and restoration.
