Abstract
As railway infrastructure manager, DB InfraGO AG is faced with the challenge of offering fluid and punctual operation despite rising demand and increased construction activity. The high capacity utilisation, especially in the core network sections, causes delays to be propagated quickly and widely across the entire network. Up to now, conflicts between train runs can be identified automatically, but dispatching measures have been based on past human experience. An automated dispatching assistance system is currently being piloted to provide support for train dispatchers in their work. The aim is to offer them helpful dispatching recommendations, particularly in stressful situations with a high conflict density in the network section under consideration, in order to ensure the most efficient operation of the system. The recommendations are currently displayed separately alongside the…
